I am after a new pc as mine has now died

I do a bit of gaming and movie encoding and my budget is as per title.

Any decent offers on at the minute to get the most for my cash?!

I have seen:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...i5-6400-gtx-960-4gb-windows-10-fs-17i-ep.html

No self-build and require a fitted CD/DVD drive.

I have seen a couple on other sites, but would obviously prefer to buy from here (customer service etc).

Also, looking in the clearance section there a couple of good deals, but all out of stock - anymore coming in very soon?!

The only game i play atm is L4D2! (i'm into VR on my Gear and waiting for my delivery of PSVR - i have no interest in PC VR.

However, i would like a decent system, obviously the best i can get for my cash.

If you only play L4D2 then that system is enough tbf unless you want to start getting into more intensive games a GPU upgrade might be worth it depending on what your current one is.

Okay so you'd probably want a i5 6xxx with 16GB RAM and say either a GTX 1060 or RX 480 for 1080p gaming. If it was me I'd build it myself just to save a ton of money.

I'd call the shop. If you only play games like L4D I'd probably go with a APU and spend the money saved on the storage system and maybe a BD drive. A FreeSync monitor might be worth considering too.
 
I know i say i only play L4D2, but that's only atm - when i get time i will start getting back into pc gaming - so i'm happy to get a half decent system now (especially as i suck at upgrading).

OK, so the one Doogles put up would suit me would it? (thank you).

I am now looking for a system for my lad, CS GO, TF2 etc and around £400 - i would like a decent looking case as it will be his first desktop (he does everything on laptop atm).

Do you think OcUK would do me a deal if i got 2 systems from them? ;) Or should i wait nearer to Xmas for any deals?!

I'm struggling and it's a lot of cash to me - i need to get this right :(

Thanks all.
