Is this build worth it?

JJ17 · Jun 9, 2017

Hi I'm looking on buying a new gaming pc, I'm not that confident in building on myself so I was going to buy a pre built rig. I was looking at some reviews and apparently this company is supposed to be good, was checking out this build what do you think of it?

Or if you could make any suggestions to which build I should buy and where from. I am hoping to spend around £900-1500

Can you assemble the computer ?
like of course you can, but do you feel like doing it ?
for that amount of money, you can get an awesome PC.

here is an example:
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor (£227.94 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME X370-A ATX AM4 Motherboard (£126.91 @ BT Shop)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£122.38 @ Ebuyer)
Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (£216.30 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition Video Card (£369.99 @ Eclipse Computers)
Case: Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400S TEMPERED GLASS ATX Mid Tower Case (£79.99 @ Novatech)
Power Supply: Corsair - RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£87.48 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £1230.99

What monitor you are going to use ?

I'd rather order a pre built one to be honest, I know it will cost a little more but I'd rather somebody who knows what they are doing set it up for me. I use my TV as my monitor

the problem with pre built computer is that they often use mediocre components like PSUs, MB, RAM etc.
the ones that use good components, cost significantly more.
As a general recommendation, get an i7 or 6-8 cores ryzen.
i5 is too weak for a new build at this price.

Why don't you buy the computer parts n0ns3ns3 is telling you to AND then you can give those to a pc shopkeeper who can assemble those

If you're really unwilling to build your own then use

https://www.dinopc.com

Or

WWW.overclockers.co.UK

To make your own custom build

You'll pay a bit more but get to pick better quality components.

Just had a quick play on dinopc
They don't charge a massive amount for building in all honesty.

Ryzen 1600, nice silent game max case.
Optical DVD drive, 850 evo ssd + 1tb platter drive, 16gb DDR 4 3000, win 10 preinstalled , evga gtx 1060 6gb , & corsair tx650 PSU.
Just over £1k which isn't honestly bad at all with a 5 year warranty.

is this build any good?

Dinopc are thoroughly decent if you're not prepared to build your own.

As long as you go for at least the FSP silver or corsair txm on the psu front (everything cheaper is substandard IMO)

With your budget I honestly wouldn't even consider any i5.

Either a ryzen 1600 or an i7 7700 (k or non k - really doesn't matter IMO) + a 1070

Base that desicion purely on what monitor & refresh you're looking at using.

Base

Ryzen - 1440p 60-75htz
I7 1080p 100htz +
