Pre built machine for £1200 or less - advise please

[Markwalton]

Hello all

I’d previously posted and made the mistake of including a link to a dell machine which was against forum rules.

I’m after a pre built machine with something like the following specs:

CPU - i5-11400
RAM - 16gb
SSD - 512gb
GPU - best I can get for that price really. A 3060?

All help greatly appreciated.

thanks

No matter which brand CPU is chosen, those Kolink PSUs are garbage and needs to be changed to something actually decent.
Phanteks AMP 650W would have quite good pricing.

Also zero sense in small PCIe v4 NVMe in that, and any budget PC.
For less than that small NVMe there would be perfectly competent for gaming PC 1TB PCIe v3 drive.
WD Blue SN550 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £89.99
And only £5 more gives 1TB full speed PCIe v3 drive.
Seagate Firecuda 510 1TB SSD PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (ZP1000GM3A011)= £99.95

Money saved by single drive would go long way toward that proper quality PSU.
