Hello

I need help in choosing a gaming computer, I am looking to build one or buy one but unsure on a good pick or good parts for one.

I have looked online for some pre-built ones and came across these.

But I am unsure whether any of those are any good or if there are other out there that are better.
I am looking for a pc within a budget of £600 to £900, with about mid-high end gaming.

Thanks

gaming laptop is never a good idea, too small space for heat dissipation, so overheating is kind of normal.
BYO is the best choice:

For 1080p/60hz, something like this should be pretty good...
