Help needed for a Pre-Built Gaming PC (£2k ish budget)

[Livewire88]

Looking for advice on pre built gaming PC (£2k budget)

Hey everyone, I am moving on from console gaming and joining the PC gang.

Is this a decent build for the price? or can I find better elsewhere? The site allows me to change components if need be. So can change bits if need be. Cost of system below is £2,099.99

Link removed..


NVIDIA RTX4080 SUPER 16GB
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
ASUS TUF X670E-PLUS WIFI
CORSAIR 32GB DDR5 5200Mhz
ADATA 2TB S70 BLADE Gen4 M.2 nVME
SEAGATE 2TB HDD SATA3 - 6Gb/s 7200 RPM
850W - BEQUIET PP12 - ATX3
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240mm - AIO
LIAN-LI LANCOOL 215 CASE

Are the ADATA 2TB S70 BLADE Gen4 M.2 nVME and SEAGATE 2TB HDD SATA3 - 6Gb/s 7200 RPM disc drives? if so am I better off going with SSD's? - Sorry if I am totally off the mark here, I don't know a lot about PC's, hence the reason I need help!


Any other suggestions would be great.

If the price of a prebuild is below retail, then I'd consider it good value.

OCUK don't sell ADATA RAM/SSDs, so I can't include those in the comparison spec.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Twelve Core 5.60GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DH-AM) = £359.99
• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6J9-AS) = £289.99
• 1 x Crucial Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C46 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRU-01083) = £99.95
• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Super Trinity Black 16Gb Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-01496) = £959.99
• 1 x WD Black SN770 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T3X0E) (SKU: HD-58G-WD) = £109.99
• 1 x WD 2TB Blue HDD 5400rpm 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (WD20EARZ) (SKU: STO-WDC-01659) = £59.99
• 1 x Lian Li LANCOOL 215 Mid-Tower aRGB Tempered Glass Black (SKU: CA-78K-LL) = £89.99
• 1 x be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W ATX 3.0 80 Plus Gold Power Supply (SKU: CA-14R-BQ) = £139.00
• 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 240mm (SKU: HS-07B-AR) = £99.95
• 1 x Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 64-Bit DVD - OEM (FQC-10528) (SKU: SW-18K-MS) = £137.98

Total: £2,346.82 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

We're not allowed to post competitor links here, by the way, so I'd edit that out of your post.

The Seagate is a hard drive.

The ADATA is SSD.

Hard drives are fine for older games, or document/archival storage, but I'd want any newer games on the SSD, or ones that have long loading or patching (e.g. MMO).

Thank you, I have removed the link now.

Looks like it could be a good deal then. I will double check the specs are listed correctly with the company.

If I see a prebuild that is below retail it honestly seems rather iffy, so definitely worth checking. Manufacturers do sometimes offer OEMs good deals, especially on old stock, but nothing in this spec is old stock

Funny enough, they have confirmed the listing was wrong! the build comes with a AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D not the AMD RYZEN 9 7900X. Everything else is correct, worried now that its too good to be true.

Since the 7800X3D is a better CPU for gaming, that's a bonus!

I do wonder how they're able to build and sell a PC for less than the retail price, but all I can suggest is check the reviews online carefully

That's a relief then! Their reviews do seem very good and they are a reputable company so all looks promising.

Another question if you don't mind.. I will use the same work station for my daily work, with a laptop connected to the monitor/s.. at the moment I run 2x24 inch monitors for my work. I need two new monitors to run the gaming PC on.

What monitor or monitors will provide roughly the same space as 2 x 24 inch monitors. Be suitable to be used for day to day work, and gaming. I can spend £1k (ish) on a monitor. Have had a good look but the options are endless so no idea what will work best for my whole set up

You're probably better off asking this question in the monitors forum, since it is quite specific for this forum and I don't know enough about monitors to help you.
