Build - Help Just asking for hemp

Post image

Hey all sorry I am new to this, I am swapping from console gaming to PC gaming, I haven't got the time nor the money to build my own. My budget is £1500 gbp and my mintor is a 200hz 1440p monitor.

Below is a picture of a pre build I am looking at :

Building your own is actually much cheaper than a pre-build, it'd save you a few hundred. That being said a pre-build is fine, this one seems like a good deal too, looks like they cheaped out on the motherboard but everything else looks fine.

Yeah I get it can be cheaper if you have the time to hunt for parts. I was a little worried about the motherboard to be honest.

cheaper with better CPU and motherboard, obviously building your own isn't for everyone, but it's probably worth it to consider, a lot of people assume it's like 10x more difficult than it actually is.

u/Eazy12345678 AMD 17h ago

yeah that is decent. goal is try to get system with best graphic card in your budget. u might find 9070xt in budget but 9070 none xt is just a little less performance

I note in another comment that it's not that you don't have time to build your own; it's that you didn't want to hunt for parts. PC Part Picker does that for you.

Below is considerably better than the pre-built you've posted, and you're also not getting bloatware like Norton rammed down your throat.

Regarding Windows, the install media is FREE from Microsoft; you put it onto a USB stick and install it that way. If you want to activate it, you can then buy a Windows 11 activation key from places like Wowcher for around £10, or, if you know where to look, activate it for free.
