The real question is how much did you spend on it?

Well not really, but that is a huge part when buying a computer. Also that computer is good for video editing and I would of went for a mac since they have better video editing softwares.

£180

£180

That is a pretty good price. Well not sure about there, but converted to can it would be 220$. The only complaint I have is the graphics card is a piece of shit, but that can easily be upgraded.

I'll be using it for general use and video editting so at the moment the graphics card will have to do. I tried to edit a video using my laptop and it couldn't handle it and kept shutting down lol

Also thanks for your info/help

Well if you are video editing and have a high budget I would suggest After effects for final editing and sony vegas for main editing and if you have a higher budget and use youtube I would suggest getting camtasia for uploading the video. Its pretty much waste of money if you are on a tight budget, but if you have money to throw around than I would just use it to upload. 

I have a pretty tight budget after i just bought a Elgato for £160 and This PC for £180 lol Kodyt told me to get CyberLink PowerDirector to edit videos and it seems pretty good and easy to use

Yeah those programs are pretty good for starting.

Not bad, where did you get a PC like this for £180? I need another server and something like this would be perfect :P

That's really good for the price. I'd suggest more RAM for video editing but if you're on a budget, well done.
