Which prebuilt is better for gaming?

Hi guys,

I have a max budget of £700 and I am looking at buying a prebuilt gaming PC from OcUK.

Which one out of these would you recommend and why?

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

That's the best one. Would add in an SSD if you can, well worth the extra cost. i5-8400 would also be a big upgrade, but if £700 is absolute max budget ignore SSD + 8400.

I would definitely add in the 250GB Samsung SSD for an extra £80 if you can stretch to it, but the £135 that is being asked to go from a quad core 8100 to a hex core 8400 seems pretty steep. Apart from that it's a pretty good price for a prebuilt if you ask me..

Yeah the 8400 is way more than it should be. At least the Z370 board allows for future CPU upgrades.

Thanks guys, I'll go with that one then! I can always learn how to change the CPU and add an SSD down the line if it's fairly easy to do.

Currently some excellent black fridays deals on SSDs, but it would be much easier buying one with this bundle (saves you the hassle of copying windows across etc).
