Yup that looks better. What speed is the memory ideally want cas 30 6000mhz
is this 2nd hand? If its a complete PC what else does it come with like PSU\case and what brand NVME drive as there is DRAM-lesss drives which are quite cheap for 2TB

I think it's one from the river store
Would be lucky to even get the PC then in that case.
If GPUs and IPhones are swapped out I would not put it past PCs as well lol

On eBay? Lol good luck with that. My sister was about to buy a system with a GTX980 and a Core 2 Duo for £850 before I stopped her. And it was advertised 'as new'
If you must buy a pre-build, I'd highly recommend buying from somewhere such as OCUK as they tend to offer better value and components vs the likes of Acer or whatever nonsense people tend to stick on Ebay.
For a new £1500 system I'd be looking for an AM5 build with a 7600 or better, and a 4070S or TI Super (preferably the latter) or a 7800XT or 7900XT, again preferably the latter. You want 32gb of RAM, a case with good airflow, and information on what PSU is being put into the system as many are utter crap and it's one of the first places people cut corners with.
A 1TB NvME should be the minimum, ideally 2TB given the size of games, but in fairness storage is usually easy to add.

yeah doesn't make sense to go am4, granted it's cheaper but am5 gives you longer life, ie eventually a 32core x3d chip could come out on my am5 so I'd upgrade from 7700 to that.
You're welcome. Always nice to help out a fellow Scot. Unless you're not Scottish, then ye kin get ti ****
