Need suggestion for a pre-built.

[kingu9]

Hopefully this is right place to post this, but I'm interested in buying a pre-built PC.

Right now I'm looking at This and This but happy to change if theres a better option

I want it for gaming mostly. The only thing I know I want for sure is a 1070, but everything else I'm open to suggestions.

So question is, should I get one of those or is there a better option? I saw the Z270 Pre-builts but seems like they are mostly for SLI which I'm not interested in.

Also I read that there is a one click overclocking option on the Z170, are those good/reliable or is it better to just do it yourself? I've never overclocked before so the easier the better.

Also what are the differences between the Midi and Pro ones? Is it just the option for SLI in the pro one and the cases? Bit unsure what to go with. Thanks.

Give us your max budget and we will get the best option for you, the z270 are virtually the same price and cpu wise perform slightly better.

Also out of the 2 you sugested the pro has a higher watt psu.

£1400 at most I guess, a little over is fine if its worth it.

Another thing I forgot to mention is I don't need windows so thats a little taken off.

Can you wait a couple of weaks as AMD should release the Ryzen 6 cores cpu's so we can see how they perform against the 4 core intel ?

If not this overclcoked system looks good.

I kinda need it soon, like within 2 weeks, so rather not wait that long, and I prefer intel products anyway.

If not this overclcoked system looks good.

Whats the benefit of that one over this one? Seems the one you linked has less options, is the PSU good enough? Have 650W in my current PC and only have a 660 and i5 2500k, is 550W really enough?

The benefits of my system is that its overclocked and has a fast m2 drive and gives you what you asked for. 550 watt perfectly fine for a single gpu set up overclocked otherwise overclockers wouldnt have put it in the system.

The system you linked is not overclcoked, has a slightly better motherboard and a 850 watt psu for going sli and wequivalnt spec to mine would cost this.
