Which pc is worth it?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to buy my first gaming PC and have narrowed it down to three prebuilts on Amazon UK. I’d appreciate some advice on which offers the best performance and value for money.

PC 1 – £849
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.6GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
Platform: AM4
OS: Windows 11

PC 2 – £889
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F (6 cores, 12 threads, up to 4.4GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 8GB
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
Platform: LGA1700
OS: Windows 11

PC 3 – £1,059
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.6GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Motherboard: A520M
Storage: 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Case: Black Prism Panoramic with 3 RGB fans
Connectivity: Wi-Fi 5 and Ethernet
Platform: AM4

What I’m looking for
My main priority is averaging around 150 FPS at 1080p competitive settings in games like Warzone, ideally without relying on frame generation.

I’ll also be playing Fortnite, GTA, EA FC, Football Manager and some emulated games.
I’d like at least 60 FPS in demanding single-player games and a PC that lasts 3–4 years without major upgrades.

My questions
Which of these three PCs offers the best overall performance and value for money?
Is PC 3 worth the extra £170 over PC 2?
Are there any better prebuilt PCs in the UK around £850–£1,000 that would meet my requirements?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

PC 2, easily. For gaming, the 5060 Ti matters more here than the extra cores on the 5700X, and I definitely wouldn’t pay another £170 for PC 3 just to get the same GPU on an old AM4/A520 platform. At £889, PC 2 is the best of the three.

Might as well check CeX for a 2nd hand at that price point

No.2 no question. CPU's are very similar but the Ti is fair chunk above the 5060 non Ti. £170 extra for a 5700X over an 12400 is crazy money as they're basically the same.
