Is this Bundle good?

toffoo · 15 Jun 2018 at 18:45

So I'm looking at building a new pc for gaming, streaming and maybe some video editing. I don't want to spend too much and I was wondering if the parts in this bundle would be any good? And are there any cons to buying a bundle like this, or any of the components in this bundle?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x AMD Promo Bundle - AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Gigabyte X370-Gaming 3, Team Group RAM *FREE 240GB SSD* = £354.97
- Memory Capacity:Team Group Vulcan T-Force 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD48G3000

Total: £365.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Thanks for any advice. I know nothing.

Team group have IME generally always been the brand with the highest rated clocks available? Running some DDR3 at 2666 off its XMP profile right now.

OP, I think this is a great deal - it's Ryzen 2 not 1, it's a decent motherboard, and it comes with a good sized SSD. Just needs a PSU and graphics card and you're onto a winner

Nope just new to pc building and never heard of them.

Unlike the more well known brands that casuals recognise like Corsair, Kingston and HyperX.
Never seen a Team Group ad or marketing campaign online.

Your new to all of this yet will post a really pretty pointless comment because "YOU" haven't heard of them. I think you should do some more researching.

OP, good bundle and very solid components for a nice price. Onto a winner as said before with a graphics card and the other bits.

If I fried my computer tonight, I'd buy that bundle tomorrow to get me started back up again, take it from someone who's been building computers for 27 years, cyrix processors is where it all started for me, not many people on here will remember those, they're only found in history books now lol.

solid, remember you'll need a GPU - and depending on what program your using, GPU can have a big or small impact

ah corsair, known as the rebranding company hehe

Just to add to this

If OCUK sell it then it's not going to be a crap unknown brand it will have some reputation or trust me they wouldn't bother.

As for the bundle I shall let others answer as I've not looked into pc parts for a while now but yes brand wise if ocuk sell it it at least won't be some cardboard ssd or ram or some thing lol.
