While that's fine to game for that resolution, it's a poor build for the price.

Fair enough, but you'll get better value for money if you can build yourself. There are alternative ways other than pre-built's:

1 - Ask OcUK for a quote on building before despatching, you can install the OS when you get it
2 - Find a family member, friend or OcUK Forum member close to you who could assist in building.
