might be worth putting the header as: "Special Needs/Requirements (including wifi):"
it's in the text, but we know the average person never uses the eyeball mark 1s or engages brain, so here, KISS is in order i would suspect

@Gray2233

can you add a header right a the top:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you intending to build the PC yourself?

Please let us know what your intentions are:
(1) You are building your own PC, or will have someone doing this for you
(2) You want OCUK to build your custom PC
(3) You want an off-the-shelf PC

As computer enthusiasts, we normally recommend individual components to build a custom PC, and we can only list parts from Overclockers UK (OCUK) as this forum is owned, operated and paid-for by OCUK
We will also mention parts that not available at OCUK, if we judge that the price/performance of said part exceeds those available at OCUK
Feel free to do your own research and explore around, to find the best prices for yourself
If you do not feel confident in building your own custom PC, OCUK can build you a custom spec at a cost - please budget approx £300 for this service**, and in return, you will also receive OCUK's 3-year warranty alongside it**
If you need an off-the-shelf PC, we can also recommend OCUK's prebuilt PCs, however please note that not all of us are familiar with their range of prebuilts

** : this is correct at the time of the post 27/10/2025

No worries mate, I'll get it done in a day or two, just loaded with cold right now so I've been a touch AFK.

I'm about as coherent as a wet fart so want to properly read/understand before blindly posting.

Edit: Did something crazy just happen? :cry:

I'll do my best I assure you! Not sure of it's Covid or a bad cold but my god I've been ******* with what I can only describe as man-flu.

Not quite as bad as I was and getting better, so I'll get everything sorted come tomorrow evening.

Exact Overall Budget

We need at least a ball park if not an exact, telling us you don't really have one could result in recommendations anywhere between £500 and £10,000, we're not mind readers. No, we do not need the prices you've concocted for each individual component, that wont offer good end results for whatever you're looking to build.

oh and we can expand this bit here with:

Estimated prices for gaming resolution:
1080p (FHD) = £700-£1000
1440p (QHD) = £1000-£1800
2160p (4k) = £1800+

I normally admit patients with man-flu to my ICU :)

Had bronchitis earlier this year and I was coughing up thick yellow piles of plap. Very much not into bothering people when I'm sick so I crawl into a hole unless near death. :p

Will absolutely edit as you advise, keep things coming! Proves the lack of immediacy, have a good ponder and I can do it all at one time.

My mother used to say when I got ill I was like a bear going into hibernation and I can't disagree. I can be a bit of a nasty bugger when I'm ill too, honestly just want to be left alone.

If I wasn't starting to recover I'd have my finger up my nose in bed right now tbh.
