    Can you link it? We'd be able to get a better idea of what its worth.

    There's an adverts user called Bloodbath does custom builds for people, not sure if he still does it, or frequents boards but he was supposedly very good value.

    Most people just build their own, give a budget here and me or someone else will give you the best list of compatible parts you can afford, you click them together and done.

    I've bought two machines from overclockers.co.uk down the years and recommended to some friends and family. Can't say a bad word about them. Price wise it also worked out about maybe €50 extra then buying and building myself, and was happy to pay €50-80 to have a company build it properly and overclock it if I requested.

    Their parts are usually good quality and it was a good 2-3 years before I made my first upgrade to the last machine I got from them.

    It's rare that I buy a totally new machine (last time was maybe like 7 years ago) as I normally just upgrade a part, or a bunch of parts.

    Granted the Euro is in bits at the moment and most retailers had to up their price after the GB -> USD currency issues, so might not be that close in regards buying prebuilt and selfbuilt.
