OC Build Service

Paul Duggan · 7 Jan 2020 at 12:03

Looking for a low (but not basement) budget gaming PC and I want to specify all my own components. The snag is I don't want to self-build (I know it's not hard and I can get more performance cheaper, but I have my reasons). Posts in other forums here imply that OC will build from a basket of components (for a fee) and not just configurator. Is this the case? Is there a price guide? I can't see anything related on the site.
Thanks.

Budget’s about £850, without W10 and I’m only interested in 1080p performance.

I have posted in CS thanks. That forum didn’t appear until I signed up but now I know it’s there!

Firefly Essential looks reasonable but I think I can make do with a 1660ti/super. I also can’t specify my preferred PSU. Would add more RAM and bigger SSD. They can be amended but I’d also rather choose a SsD that is not available to choose.

I COULD have it all wrong. Haven’t had a new desktop PC in a long time.

Thank you for the suggestions and your efforts.
I think I have seen you recommend mATX cases elsewhere. Do you have a preference for them?
I’m sure I’ve seen someone recommend Intel specifically for 1080p-targeted builds but I don’t know why. Do you consider the Ruben just as good?

Thanks for the explanations. I really appreciate it.

Cheers. Ryzen 5 is now inked on the list.

This is what I've done basically

Put the parts together then contacted CS for a quote with them building it for me.

All ordered now, just waiting for it to arrive

Exciting. I hope you're pleased when it arrives.
