Hi just a quick heads up, it's against forum tos to link competitor sites so your best removing the link and just listing the components.

In terms of value I would say around £700 would be about right but is it worth buying? Answer no.

Thank you for the heads up, just removed the link! Is that £700 for the desktop alone or including all the add ons?

the trouble is if you buy that then your buying a PC that's already out of date, 6-8 core CPUs are the go to option for gaming.
You would be better off building a new amd ryzen system especially if you have around a 1200 budget.

Appreciate the help, I'll stay clear of that one then. Trouble is I've no idea where to even start when building one on here, my budget is around £1200.

If you don’t want to build one take a look at the pre-built ones from overclockers.

I'm doing that right now, lots of options!

You better believe it. Could you imaging the options if you built the system? A world of choice at your hands!

It doesn't help when I've no idea what I'm really looking at, if only there was a forum for this kind of thing!
