Welcome to the forums

Just a heads up but this forum is owned and run by OCUK. They dont like comepitor advertising on it. Im not sure how they would feel about the german discount company but you would probably be better off just copying the specs of them and removing the links to be safe.

They seem to be good value with a 3060ti in them. A 5600x will be faster in most senarios but is a bit expensive atm and getting a 3060ti FE is hard and a aftermarket 3060ti is expensive (£650+) and would cost you most of the build price.

The case looks to have poor airflow so be ready to replace that and possibly the stock inhel cooler.

Wow not bad value. Many a person will be buying them to just get the GPU out of it. lol

Sorry I didn’t realise

Have seen them in the past selling pcs
Usually they don't have many
Kind of a get people in the door promotion
Usually they're decent value for money
Though the case and the psu and heatsink may not be the best
It's an unusual time where building your own pc may not be the best choice
So they may be even better value for the money right now

@robfosters

Decent value considering the 3060ti alone is £650+

A bad graphics card at stupid level scalper pricing. Avoid!

It's still better than a 6600 @£400 which you recomended that is only 5% faster than a 2 year old 5600XT which sold for £280.

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Vague recollection that when they sell pcs
They are medion brand
So may be possible to find more details about the parts
Manufacturers on medion website?

An Nvidia card is never a better option, no matter how many FPS your Fraps app shows in the corner.

The Radeon gives proper image quality, and does load the in-game textures properly.
All the things that Nvidia can't and cheats. So, avoid Nvidia!

My pal bought one and I had a poke around it.
Very major on third type build. Basic no brand memory, motherboard was basic and the power supply was just what was needed.

Decent enough for the price but pretty easy to a bean counter had given everything a once over.

It’s a Zotac gpu
Nvme Phison ssd
Hynix ram 2x8g @2933 MHz

 

[Adgames]

Its says the motherboard is a B560

case is a Inwin 303 and power supply is Inwin 650

 

[Drizmod]

Seems a decent price for what you get compared to others. Not sure that case has enough airflow to keep everything cool though. Case design has come a long way from 2016 designs. Personally wouldn't touch anything without a front mesh.

Nvme Phison ssd

Phison isn't any particular NVMe, but one maker of SSD controller chips.
Hence that can mean anything from crappy bottom dredge of product barrel QLC Flash drive to very high end workstation level drive.
And likelyhood is 99,9% for it being the former.
While tiny half TB fit only for low budget PC gets in practise full after two big games.


Similarly cases of the supermarket PCs are typically garbage.
This one even has PSU at top as case exhaust.
Design whose best before date expired 15 years ago.

And PSU is no doubt pretty much garbage with medieval design and crappy parts.

Those two would be the longest usage life potential having parts of the PC if good ones.
