By extreme performance, it means 'bare minimum', that's about the slowest PC I'd recommend to play a game like COD. It's not worth £160, barely £100, the CPU is ancient and very slow (worth about £15-£20), and the graphics card is pretty cheap and low-grade (worth about £30), which just leaves the board. It's a bottom-end basic board, so is worth about £25. Totals £70 tops, nowhere near the £160 being asked of it.
Avoid.

What you need is more money and from my advice as ive built many pcs don't purchase packages get your stuff separate then assemble it, it usually works cheaper that way. If you need any help or advice email me at edited by ddp ill be happy to help.

Well, you can still build a PC that can play games (just) with only spending £160 on the performance-deciding parts. The problem is, the minimum price of the rest of the parts will be at least £100 as well, so we need to ascertain that the OP does in fact have all the funds required.

For the CPU/RAM/GPU like in this post, you can actually do far better for the same £160 price:
Athlon II X2 250 for £50
Gigabyte AMD 740G board for £36
XFX Radeon HD5750 for £85

A little bit over the £160 mark but not by much, and it's vastly better than what the OP posted.
