Hi all,

Budget is between £800-900 and there are 3 pre builds on the OC website that have caught my attention but I can't decide which is the best rig to buy between the 3 of them!

The options are:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...00-geforce-gtx-1660-super-fs-1dv-og.html#t=b1

Any help would be greatly appreciated, quite a novice to this and dunno which one offers the best value for money/opportunities for future upgrading..
 
Based on what you've provided:

Kinetic > Enigma > Ballista.

All 3 are identical apart from:
- Kinetic has a 1TB SSD and a GTX 1660 super
- Enigma has a 480GB SSD and a GTX 1660 super
- Ballista has a 250GB SSD and a RX 550XT.

I'd be inclined to say build your own, but with OS and security bundled in, it's cheaper to get the Kinetic option.
 
Kinetic has total turd case, whose best before date expired 15 years ago.

And all are likely really bad for upgrading with skimping/plain bad choises in those parts which would be the base for upgrades.
Like case having the potential for being the longest time usable part. (my PC case is from 2008)

Also pretty sure all have really cheapo PSUs.
Which is the second longest usage potential part after the case.

If wanting to upgrade CPU to one not falling behind next-gen consoles also motherboard should be decent.
And without knowledge from its model it's best to assume it's bottom dreg of product barrel model.


If not wanting to hassle with parts itself you can make component list and have OcUK assemble it.
That way you can guarantee base parts would allow upgrades.
Also Microsoft charges ludicrous price for you becoming their unpaid alpha tester for known to be buggy patches.
Honestly Microsoft should be paying people for testing Wintoys10!

Good to know, thanks! Don’t suppose you know or have seen of any setups around £900 that I would be better off going with instead? Thanks
 
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £802.05 (includes shipping: £13.20)​

Something like this would work, you can ask OCUK to build it for you and they'd charge a fee. You'd need to install Windows yourself, but that's easily done via USB and keys are pretty inexpensive. You would get warranty through OCUK for the build by doing this also, if that's important to you.

If you were willing to build it yourself you'd get a bit more for your money, such as a faster GPU or a larger SSD.

While the SSD I've listed is only 500GB adding more storage if/when needed is extremely quick and easy.
