Hey guys, looking at a budget system for my younger brother to get into PC gaming, his budget is around 700-800 and he wants to play R6S, Borderlands 2(3 when it gets announced) Runescape and Fortnite, budget has some leeway. Also i've seen that overclockers will build a system for you if you're not comfortable doing it for a certain price, anyone know how to go about that option?

Thanks in Advance.

two options, can put a list together and they can build it for a fee on top, or they have a selection of pre-built systems.

currently just reaidng up on GTX 1660ti performance so wont comment until i've read through them personally

£260-80 when I recall gtx 1070 at launch was £350-400 (FE)?

Recall RX 580 and RX 590 having same prices if not higher before mining .

gtx 1060 was £240-275(FE)

havent read yet if it powers on 400/450w yet though

gtx 1660 in two weeks, hopefully see rx580/90 drop more

1070 non-FE was $379 at launch, 1060 6gb non-FE was $249

1660ti is $279 - still ~$20 higher than it should be though...even accounting for inflation

im going at OCUK launch prices , not dollars ( since stock is bought two months ahead of time and in dollars not sterling ,this effects retail pricing)

UK and US prices never match up, looking at Strix 1660ti trade prices... haha

@ChaotikRogue

im useless with keyboards etc, would touch it over 1k though but OCUK to build and warranty with 144hz 1080p screen. Naff bit in the system is PSU but 2 free games

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,011.88 (includes shipping: £15.90)​

no point asking now, then if still more than a month away. prices can change (sometimes significantly), so what's best value today, might not be best value next month.
