I can't edit the configuration at the minute, but I'd look at this one and change the spec as follows:

Upgrade to 32GB of memory (£40).
Upgrade the 4060 Ti to a 7800 XT (£102).
Upgrade the WD Black SN770 500GB to 2TB (£85).
Remove the 870 QVO (-£80).

My basket at OcUK:
  • 1 x OcUK Gaming Oxygen - AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, GeForce RTX 4060Ti Gaming PC (SKU: FS-1BZ-OG) = £1,199.99
    • Case: 1 x SYSTEM OFFER - APNX Creator C1 Blue Mist Limited Edition Mid Tower Case
    • Memory: 1 x Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C40 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit
    • Graphics Card: 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4060Ti TUF OC 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card
    • M.2 Solid State Drive: 1 x WD Black SN770 500GB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS500G3X0E)
    • 2.5" Solid State Drive: 1 x Samsung 1TB 870 QVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 64 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-77Q1T0BW)
    • Operating System: 1 x Build Stock Microsoft Windows 11 Home Advanced - Systems

Total: £1,199.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​
 
I've not bought a new gaming pc in over 7 years now so out the loop with Ray tracing is it much of a thing and if so won't I need something like a 4060ti

The 7800 XT is (at TPU's GPU database) 38% faster than a 4060 Ti without ray tracing and it has double the memory (unless you buy the 16GB version of the 4060 Ti, which is not on the Oxygen's configurator).

It is often faster than the 4060 Ti even with ray tracing enabled, because it has such a big performance advantage.

If you want ray tracing, I'd ask OCUK if you can switch the 7800 XT option to a 4070 non-Super, which is a big chunk better/faster than the 4060 Ti. Though, they're likely to cost another £30-£50 over a 7800 XT, depending on the model you choose.

E.g. The Sapphire 7800 XT Pulse is in the configurator is priced at £450, whereas the lowest 4070 non-Super is MSI's Ventus at £480.

Tetras' advice above is on point.
Maybe speak to OCUK about getting the CPU swapped to a 7800X3D (it's the best gaming CPU right now, period), get the RAM swapped to something 32GB 6000MHz C30 which shouldnt be THAT much more expensive, which is the sweet spot for Ryzen, and take Windows off, and get an OEM key off the net for £10 IF you feel comfortable installing Windows yourself. The £100 you'd save could then be put into the other components :)

7800XT GPU is a really decent GPU, a bit faster than the 3080 was, just not as good at Raytracing. If there's any budget left at this point, see what an upgrade to a 4070 Super would cost :)
Only other thing I'd ask is maybe what the cost would be to upgrade that SN770 NVME drive to the SN850X, as its just a bit all round faster due to having onboard memory, but realistically that's last in line as the SN770 is still a good drive!

you can just put your own build together like below. You then phone up OCuk and email in the spec. They tot it up and give you a build cost. You'll still get the warranty as a prebuilt etc, but you're speccing your own componenets so don't have to keep swapping out the lower quality components OCuk like to sneek in. Used to be about £200 on top, but that was a couple of years ago...can of course swap stuff to lower price etc...
definitely worth asking...price depends also on number of fans added, but these are prinstalled so shouldn't really be adding that much

if you are someone who upgrades every 7 or so years then definitely try and get 7800x3D CPU and 4070 Super as a graphics card in that budget. Install windows yourself and put the £100 extra towards the better cpu and graphics card you wont regret it specially if you have long upgrade cycle. Basically the advice below is spot on.
