Advice buying a prebuilt system

akalam · 26 Mar 2019 at 14:17

I have configured the below system; do you guys think it's a good build? Will be mainly gaming at 1080p but in future may want to game at 1440p.

Few other questions:
Is the PSU ok for this build? Not sure what OCUK use...
I've gone with Corsair RAM and WD Blue SSD over the Team Group versions. Would you suggest sticking with Team Group?

What about this model using RTX 2060? I have to confess, I don't really know much about how to spec a good build, is there anything you think is unsuitable? Eg the case for a start.

Also, there was model, which comes to 818 but I asked them to add a 2060 and it came to 888 (i.e. another 70 quid). They clarified that this is for the Zotac version.

Boards not the best In the second system .

Evga card is good, gigabyte dual fan would have been slightly better, but also costs £20 more for dual 100mm fans Vs single 92mm.

Damn this is so much harder that I thought! I had wanted to stay around the 900ish mark and was set on Vega 56 originally - but kept thinking a 2060 build isn't much more and doesn't draw as much power. Not sure what to pick now.

Push rtx 2060 as more powerful , followed by Vega 56 then gtx 1660ti.
With Vega you do get 3 free games . Your electronic bill won't be huge mind
