Thoughts on this Gaming PC

Hey there!

My current computer is about 4 years old now, so is in serious need for an upgrade. I'm looking at pre-built gaming computers (I have no time nor energy to build one myself) around the £1000 mark. The budget can be stretched if needs be. I've found this computer over at dinopc which appears to be the best I can get for the price. What are your thoughts?

I don't need the monitor, so thinking of swapping this for an extra 8gb ram and potentially a CPU upgrade. Is this a good computer or can you recommend alternatives?

Thanks
 
Specs look pretty good for a mid level gaming setup. I like that some of the components are good names though you could probably get higher quality still building yourself - especially since the monitor's wasted.
