A 6 core cpu will do absolutely nothing for gaming. Most games are still optimized for dual cores, and they are only starting to use 4 cores. It will be a VERY long time before games utilize more then 4 cores. So its a complete waste.
Gaming wont require more then 4-8gb of ram. 8gb is actually overkill, more then 8gb is utter stupidity. It will remain unused for the entire time u would owe the computer...
The gtx550 is a decent card at best, it would be the very start of high end cards. It wont max any newer games.
Too little information about the rest of the hardware, but since its on ebay, you can expect the cheapest most generic on everything from motherboard to psu.
You dont buy computers from ebay, period...

I wouldn't trust it, you could be a much much better one that would be more suited to your needs and still be £600 including a OS.
But the CPU bulldozer has had some issues with certain games, for example Total War Shogun 2.
It would a lot better to build your own.

wouldnt trust it at all
first it says it got a GTX550Ti
then it says it got a ATI HD 6450 (which is also funny as ATI aint the name anymore, its AMD)
then it says its a GTX 550Ti again
and as always with pre-built computers
overpriced cpu power
way to much ram
big hard drive
not worth 600 atleast, you could build better then that for that price.
crappy graphic card

Yes but on one part it says windows 7 and the other none so you may want to find out if it does or not
