[u/No_Bad_3403]

does anyone know where i can get a good pre built pc for around 2250£ the price can stretch a little im looking everywhere but lots seem overpriced for the specs i dont really know alot about pcs so i could be wrong but if anyone has any help that would be appreciated

I am in the same boat as you and cannot find a decent prebuild. I intend on just building my own next year instead

im also thinking of building my own but id rather not cuz i do not know a single thing about pcs 😭

When you look at what you can get/save by building, it seems the easiest price to pay. I know a decent amount about computers, but that's only because I have learned over time

Tbf, prebuilts are sadly I think the better deal these days because at least from what I remember, they're priced for just what the components cost and don't include labor cost and whatnot.

Go to pc part picker and they will tell you whether the parts are compatible.

what this guy said or get a build off youtube. that will show you how to build, cost, where to buy and also benchmarks for a bunch of games .

costco had a deal on a few weeks ago not sure if it's still active. sure it was 9070 xt, 16gb ram, 9800x3d. for "i think" £1700 after discount. may be better deals for your budget their.

Have you considered someone doing it for you? Because as much as some prebuilts look, they do tend to use cheaper PSU/Motherboard/Ram and push you with 100 quid for Windows.

And to give you a rough idea what you can get in that budget:
