The parts in that machine aren't any more likely to blow than components you buy yourself.
Spec an i5 with a £100 graphics card and a 1TB HDD and a copy of Windows 7 for under £500. Try it.
Those parts there at the moment will set you back well over £400, before you've looked at a PSU, case, motherboard, DVD drive or anything else you want.
A £500 prebuild won't be as good as something you can build yourself and it won't be as good to upgrade later, but it just isn't more expensive at the moment.
