Ok so I found this PC on eBay(also believe it's on amazon) from my limited PC knowledge it looks a good deal. I know it doesn't come with a operating system. Is the processor and graphics card a decent standard? Look at this on eBay:http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.viewalt=webid=121300462771 * +

You pay for what you get. Saying that their profit from that sale probably isn't that much. * +

Ah sorry fella. To me the processor speed seems good? Is the graphics card any good? Sorry but I don't know much about PC specs. Would it run modern games say battkefield 4 at medium settings? * +

It's not actually a card, it's a chip on the CPU. It's quite low end really. To get a rough idea of the performance google '8570D' and the game name, but remember that some people might be trying to make it look better than what it really is, there might be slow downs in some parts of the game that you wont see in their videos. Also it's not all about CPU ''speed'', some Intel CPUs with less will perform better. * +

If you want a good PC you need to spend 500-600 and build it yourself, that excludes the price of a monitor. You get what you pay for. * +

Yeah I googled it after and then realised it's integrated and not actually a card itself. I already have a monitor keyboard and mouse but the PC I have now is pretty low spec. Only a dual core intel celeron running at 2.5ghz and graphics card is nvidia gt240 512mb. Can run dayz but only on low settings * +

Even though Amazon has not been around as long a eBay, you can get better customer service from Amazon. After all, eBay auctioneers are famous for sending you a picture of what you thought you bought. 
But the eBay stores can usually be trusted better than that. * +
