Hi all,
I've been looking into buying a custom/pre-built gaming PC. I would not feel comfortable enough to build my own, and do not have the time to do so either.
I'm looking to spend around £1400-1500 (Inc VAT and OS) and I've found various builds for this price range, however I'm struggling to make a decision. I'm looking for a high end PC, which can run most games on max setting in 1920 x 1080p at the least.
I would appreciate anyone to point out bottlenecks in these builds or any changes I should make. I would also be extremely grateful if anyone would be kind enough to build me a PC on a website of their choice (Must ship to UK), as I feel you guys know a lot more on the subject than I do.

2: Chillblast
I have also glanced over https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/Infinity_Xtreme
Infinity Xtreme with a few upgrades (e.g upgrade to GTX 980 over the 970)
I have not had the chance to look at Overlockers UK or DinoPC yet.
Thank you very much,
Georgia Hand
P.S I am open to suggestions!
