New Pre built, £800-£1000 budget.

[Tethie]

Hello chaps.
As a bit clueless when it comes to specs so I'm hoping someone on here can give a bit advice.
So my current pc is packing up, had it around 8-10 years from pc specialist ( with a few upgrades along the way) and was only around £700-800 at the time so I guess that in itself tells you I don't necessarily need a super duper machine for what I do.
I looked into building one myself but apart from the hassle of building it, it seems with GPU prices I'm better off going prebuilt.

I'll be mainly using it for gaming. Not extreme gaming, mainly things like Warhammer total war, not really a FPS guy. I will be requiring it to come with Windows.
Basically I'm looking for someone to point me in the direction of the best bang for my buck at that price range. Ideally I'd stay around £800 rather than 1k. I'm getting spammed by a ton of smaller companies on FB but unsure how many of these are legit. Bigger company would be safer I guess but happy to go with anywhere that has a good rep and good value for money. UK based.

Thanks guys.

The UK has a lot of prebuilt companies ... too many to list. TBH though you could build it yourself and come out with a better rig. Also check out Scan UK .. didn't link them but they have a pretty good reputation.

Thank you for the response mate. Would you class the ebuyer one as a good deal bang for your buck? Any other particular deals you know of as worth while?

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.

The ebuyer one looks to be a decent deal. Not the greatest psu but I've seen worse.

 

[Tethie]

Should have probably added but my most recent purchase for my pc was a PSU just over a year ago
650W Seasonic Core Gold GM-650 80PLUS Gold, Single Rail, 54A, 120mm Fan, ATX PSU.

With that in mind do you think I'm better off building my own?

That knocks 63 quid off that build I posted which keeps you under £1000 with an RTX 3060. Get the free version of Windows 10 64 bit off of the MS site. You can upgrade to the free version of Windows 11 after they get the kinks worked out.
