Help with 3 PC builds for max £1100 - buy or build?

[PC builder]

I've been looking at 2 pre built options: I am literally looking for value - I dont want to get ripped off! While trying to get decent mid range gaming pc
Build 1:
Asus ROG G15Dk (AMD Ryzen 5-5600X, NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 SUPER, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) & Windows
for £849

Build 2:
ADMI, Ryzen 5 5600x 4.5GHz Six Core, Asus A520M-K Motherboard, Asus RTX 3060 Ti 8GB LHR, 15GB 3200MHz, 500GB NVME SSD, MB320 RGB Glass case, Wifi, Windows
for £1,065

Build 3
Cyber Force Wyvern Gaming PC - AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Nvidia GTX 1650 4Gb, 16gb RAM, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 450W 80+ PSU, Wi-fi, Windows, Onyxia III RGB
£739.20

Which of these builds represents best value for money & how much of a difference could it be if I try and build these PC's myself rather than getting them prebuilt?

Thank you for any suggestions or help!

Hey dfour, Thank for the reply, seen you on a couple threads and really appreciate your advise - So build 2 is the best value wise, do I get more value from trying to build your build instead, or as you said is it "as close" as you could get it?

Also is there any swaps in there I can make to make it at most £1100? That was really my ceiling....

I will consider what you've posted though, thank you for building that!

For start you're going to get ripped off by Microsoft, if you get Windows installed.

Even if taking hardware with prebuilding better buy license from web than pay ridiculous amount for becoming Microsoft's unpaid alpha tester for buggy patches.
Microsoft literally fired most of their own internal testing department half dozen years ago.
Honestly Microsoft should be paying its users for all that and adware and spyware.

Fair enough! Do you have any advice re the builds though?

If you want a good gaming experience I would go for build 2. The two others have really poor gpu's unless your just playing in 1080p medium-ish.

This is the closest I can get to it building with the items in the build with no windows.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x CoolerMaster MasterBox MB320L ARGB Micro-ATX Case - Black Tempered Glass= £54.95
• 1 x ASUS PRIME A520M-K (Socket AM4) DDR4 mATX Motherboard= £61.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £250.99
• 2 x Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS416G320C6K)= £59.99
• 1 x WD Blue SN550 250GB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS250G2B0C)= £39.95
• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 3060Ti Twin Edge OC LHR 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £599.99
• 1 x be quiet! System Power 9 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply Bulk= £54.95
• 1 x ADDON Wireless AC Dual Band 1200Mbps PCI-e Adapter (AWP1200E)= £24.95

Total: £1,220.05 (includes shipping: £12.30)
​

I would make sure its a dual channel kit and not a single stock of ram otherwise you will bottleneck the ryzen.
