Can overclockers do a better deal?

Hi

I'm looking to buy a new desktop PC. My current rig has lasted me about 8-9 years, I invested in the first place and then have been tweaking it here and there over the years. It has served me but I want something new. Looking to spend around £1,000 preferably below but I don't mind slightly above.

I used the PC for office and gaming. I want to be able to play the latest games when I see something I like without my system holding me to ransom! recommended me:


It was ok but I saw something seemingly comparable (slightly better, esp GPU) on MESH.co.uk. This is where I got my existing desktop from but I know the owners have changed due to the recession. It made me worry about quality. Here's the link:

I know that these overclockers forums have a group of experienced users and wondered if you think that I would get a better deal from the overclockers.co.uk shop as you are quite au fait with the going rate for newer components.

Hope you can help.

Oh it's been a while since I've posted on here. My aim was for someone to show that overclockers is cheaper if they are rather than advertise anyone else.

If the site needs to be cagey then it's leads me to think there might be a reason. Not a problem as I have other options.

You should have asked for someone to provide you a spec based on your budget, then you could have compared.

There is no bad intentions here just a business protecting itself on its own forum that is run at no cost to the users.

I vaguely remember the spec you linked to, and it included a gtx1060 and a rubbish PSU for your £1000
