Gaming PC Advice

The system I linked comes with all the peripherals you will need. The monitors are AOC as well, so kinda branded.

PCs are the best thing ever for specification creep.

Yeah, I was buying one just to have a PC and started thinking I needed the best of everything for gaming but I always get sick of games and in the end didn’t go all out. I’m really not a gamer but still wish I had if I look at the specs lol.

You wish! :joy:

Edit

Seems genuinely bizarre to have a £4k PC and install Win 10 Home rather than Pro!

Bit late with the troll Simon.

Right, you’ve made me start to build the parts I bought around June!

Let’s go.

So, ready to turn on and look into updating motherboard bios then install Windows (don’t really know what I’m doing) and I realise I need batteries for the wireless keyboard and mouse! Ffs.

Just a quick update on where we are at. We tried to order that system from Scan. They need at least 15 working days to get it here so it won’t be available in time. Bollocks.

Overclockers do some nice PC’s but they also quote 10 days plus.

Aria, been around for years, claim to have PC’s ready for next day:

Looks like they are all out of stock though.:rofl:

The schadenfreude is strong in this one

If push comes to shove I can get something similar to the Scan system via Amazon. I would rather not use Amazon though…

It may be that lockdown will bugger everything up whatever, so Mark’s ā€œprint out the voucherā€ plan might be the way forward.

This one says 5-6 days, but express for £49.

Going to order something via amazon I think given the likelihood of lockdown eroding stocks further.

In the end I ordered this

It seemed a close enough spec to the scan machine and was only 2.2 times the original budget…

:grimacing:

Cool. So can we criticise it now you’ve actually ordered it?
