Planning a prebuild [have a few questions]

Dcully

Im considering going the prebuilt route for a new rig as cost seems to be as before and not changed since the whole GPU price increase so it might be a good time to buy a prebuilt system, plus im too ould to have to deal with the stress of a PC not working after a build :P
Past experience has put me off building myself so any excuse really :P

Im just looking for alternatives to the usual suspects ocuk and scan.
My brother got a prebuild from Dino PC last September and it was €250 cheaper than OCUK , seems a good solid build so im definitely considering them.
Anyone ever deal with cyberpowerPC or chilliblast before or have an other suggestions?

Finally for a 1440 144hz build what CPU would people suggest?
[A constant 144hz/fps is not a must 90+ and im happy with gsync]

I have an i5-7500 with a GTX 1070 and am up around the 90's on high settings on most games.

Sorry this post is not helpful but regarding OCUK I do not find them competitive at all compared to German retailers but unfortunately they do not ship here any more.

I agree they are probably the most expensive in UK along with Scan.

First one is yards better overall in my opinion.

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ is another well known one that you can configure to your needs

Try and get a review PC if you can. They're submitted at almost 0% margin to win reviews. I can't believe we might be returning to print magazines to buy PCs again.

The DinoPC is a better buy.

Thanks guys , my brother got a build from Dino PC late last year and is very happy with it and their service.
The i5 8400 seems a very strong gaming CPU, somewhat limited overclocking potential but should be good for a good while yet i hope.

Yeah, if you ever find yourself CPU limited at least it has a Z370 motherboard so you can drop a K chip in it & overclock.
