I wouldn't say any of those prices are spectacular, if you can beat them you're doing good.
It is a good PSU (there's a review on Anandtech) but the TUF PSUs went up like... £20-£30 at OCUK a few hours ago

hmm.. if something say 'pre-order' how likely am i to get it before Christmas?
ugh, it's the graphics card though, and a good deal says its usually £314.99...
Graphics Card - Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Twin Edge 8GB Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-03197) = £248.99

and the motherboard.
You'll need to look around for other pricing if you need it asap, afraid we can't suggest competitors due to forum rules but there are plenty of places to buy from.
Please dont think about paying £300 for a 4060.

I never normally butt in these threads, but why not just get a Corsair PSU, easy RMA in the UK if anything goes wrong? Phanteks? Who knows . . .
Seasonic is UK RMA I think, and you get a replacement shipped from Germany.
If you order an Antec PSU from OcUK, they deal with the RMA process for the duration of the warranty.

It isn't. It is a good price, but not an amazing price, the 4060 has been falling toward £250 for quite awhile.ugh, it's the graphics card though, and a good deal

If the 4060 gets close to £300 I'd buy a 3060 12GB for as near to £200 as you can instead.

They're both fine - the Asus is arguably more future proof, assuming it's ATX 3.0

Antec has this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/antec-cx500m-rgb-m-atx-mini-tower-black-cas-atc-02734.html for nice and cheap and comes with RGB fans.
Unfortunately the black one is OOS.
But they do have this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/antec-cx800-elite-rgb-mid-tower-black-cas-atc-02739.html Nice case, Loads of RGB Fans, black and takes a ATX board and is Dual chamber so much easier to make tidy.
Hope that helps.

Thanks! Thefirst one is a mini tower which I assume is too small? I think the second will be too big for the shelf it will sit onAntec has this:

Ah My apologies, I missed it being Micro ATX. If you change the board for M-ATX one tho it will fit. When i used to build systems for kids i do tend to go for a smaller chassis as room in bedrooms are often limited and there isnt a huge system to find space for.
This is a decent board for a tenner more but in stock that will fit in that chassis. The cheaper price on the chassis with take up the £10 difference in price for the M-ATX board.

Struggling to find a GPU around budget (£250ish) in stock anywhere
OCUK have MSI's Ventus model for £255 and the StormX under, though I'd imagine the 2 fans on the Ventus would be preferable.
I would go with the MSI Ventus for the 2 fans.
I would not recommend the ASUS EVO as there has been complaints about the cooler not been very good (think this was on the 4070 though).
Thanks! I'll get the MSI Ventus then .
Is there a PSU you would recommend?
I think there are 4 or 5 that have been suggested on this thread and I'm even more confused now
Think i would go with the Phanteks.£120 for that power supply is stupid money.

I e-mailed Phanteks on Thursday, here is the reply back on Friday . . . .
Me: Hello, I'm just enquiring. I am a UK resident, if I purchase a Phanteks PSU, what is the RMA procedure if anything goes wrong. Where would the PSU be sent to, thanks.
Phanteks reply: We recommend to purchase it at our distributor OCUK. Should you require RMA service, they will assist you further in getting it sorted out. Phanteks team

Thanks for sharing this, does that mean it's OK for me to get as OCUK could sort out RMA stuff? (No idea what RMA is BTW )

No prob, I didn't mention anything about OcUK to Phanteks, and that was their exact response, sounds good to me.
You're thinking of the 4070 Evo, and the problem with that is with Asus using the 4060 cooler on the 4070 rather than the original and very well received Dual model hsf. The actual 4060 should be alright, unless Asus have managed to **** that up somehow too since I last checked.
