But you can, easily. Deals come up all the time, could have even gone to the local second hand store if you don't want the latest tech where you get 2 year warranty - Custom i7-10700/16GB DDR4/1TB HDD+256GB SSD/2070 Super - £550, minus 15% if you buy the vouchers off forums, that's £470, for a pc which has a miles better processor, gpu, with more storage..

Again, I want to avoid anything 2nd hand.

For my direct family member sure id take the risk. But for somebody I have met twice, ill hand it over and hope to never see it again in my life.

5600G pre builds are everywhere for circa £230, add a 6600 for £300..

IMO, if that's the case (lol pun)...i'd probably say that not getting involved in the first place is the best option.
just point them in the direction of a decent pre-built and be done with it.

To be honest, I ignored the request twice. So I eventually reluctantly accepted. Its a decent rig either way so im happy with it for the cost.
