Hi,

I previously posted a few months back but then life got in the way and I got distracted... anyway I'm now back and after some further advice (as my budget has changed slightly, as no doubt technology/price has, too) please.

I would like;
  • A build optimised for gaming (I play most genres but most commonly FPS/RPGs)
  • 27" inch 1440p monitor (after hours of reading, I finally decided against 4K and think 27" is the biggest monitor I'd like)
  • 1.5-2TB of storage
  • The ability to add another graphics card (SLI?) in a few years time when 4K becomes more affordable/cards can fully handle it, if possible
  • A good gaming keyboard and mouse (if there's a discernible difference from the £5 versions I've got now!)
  • A total cost of £3k, all in

I don't have any;
  • need for photo/video editing or CAD etc.
  • noteworthy hardware knowledge or PC-building experience (so would prefer it to be pre-built for me)
  • preference over what the case looks like
  • interest in VR at this stage
  • parts on my existing build I could use (except for sub/speakers)

Also due to work/annual leave, if ordered I'd like it delivered either Monday 5th Dec (if feasible) or between 19th - 23rd Dec. What is the usual time to dispatch/build and/or is it possible to specify a preferred date range for delivery when ordering?

Anything else you need to know then please ask and thanks in advance for any advice offered.
 
I don't have time to spec a build right now but if you want a PC by the 5th you could build it? As with OCUK you get next day delivery on almost all parts but full builds would be about a week. So if you are comfortable and need it quick I would say building is the way
 
If you're after something that is ready to go and ship next day we do have a range of Express systems that can be found here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-systems/gaming-pc/express-next-working-day

so maybe something like this.

my basket at overclockers uk:

Total: £2,714.96
(includes shipping: £0.00)

I use that keyboard and eventually I'll be getting the Rival 700 mouse as it was one of the best mice I've used for gaming, these are both personal preference though.
 
Thanks for your responses so far - the 5th isn't a make or break so if by getting a customised build means I can get something slightly more suited to my wants but have to wait a bit that's fine - I'm probably at least 5 years overdue an upgrade so another couple of weeks won't make much difference!

On the assumption of a 1 week lead time for a customised build, I'll carry on doing a bit more research (and hopefully get a few more replies/suggestions here) with the view of placing an order the tail of next week. Conversely, if an express build does actually turn out to the best option for what I want then I'll just delay my order until a bit nearer the time I want it delivered.

Thanks again.
