Gaming PC recommendation

[Coops]

Hey,

Could anyone recommend a gaming PC that I could buy already complete? My budget is £1k (I know this isn't a large amount)

I know this all depends on my needs etc, too be honest I don't really know much about this stuff. Therefore I would need something that was relatively plug and play. My kids would like to play mainly Fortnite and Minecraft on it and I would be playing games that I grew up with like Doom, Wolfenstein, Jagged Alliance and Dark Forces.

Any help with pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

When I was building a gaming PC for my son, I went over the Overclockers forum, they were able to spec up a PC for me within my budget, if your not familiar with the site, they sell components separately or prebuilt machines.

Something like this looks to fit your budget, but depends if you need a monitor to go with it or not?

Thanks so much for that.

Could be a stupid question but can you use a LED TV as a computer monitor?

Yes, you can use an LED TV no issue.

Thanks again.

I will check that website out over the weekend.

There are several sites to check out for pre-built gaming PCs. Scan, Cyberpower, CCL, PCspecialists...

This is a little over your budget but its a damn good spec for the price, could be a time limited offer though

Curry's site seems to be down? I tried going there the other day and was put in a queue!

Not bad! About the only way to get hold of a RTX 3060 at the moment, too.

I was just speaking to a guy on altspace who said he managed to find one using the hotstock.io tracker. Sign up for alerts and it'll let you know when it finds one. He's from Canada and he did say he still had to pay a bit over RRP, though. Just thought it might be worth a try.

Yeah, it can be a bit dumb, but better than nothing.

Apparently there's good stock checkers on Twitter, too.
