Hello all and thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

I am not yet of the technical type and would greatly love input from the community here, on the purchase of a pre-built pc for gaming. As i am currently using a Best buy laptop that i purchased for under $300 a few years back, my gaming experience is a bit lacking

I am from the USA and have a max budget of about $850 USD. There has been as pc that I have been eyeing form iBuyPower and would love your input on this rig.

Its at my max budget for now, and was wondering what you all thought of this as a starting point, or if you have another recommendation.

Thanks for the input!!!

$850? In UK Standards that computer is indeed worth that much and quite possibly one of the better ones you'll get for that price. I do want to warn you though, that computer whilst it'll run a lot of games may struggle with larger games like Witcher. (Though they may be playable on lower graphics.) Averaging at around 80 fps on Bioshock infinite, the weakest part of that build will be the CPU but as long as you do not intend to record or stream that'll not hit game performance much.
