850 to get a PC fully done & upgrade the parts as you go onstead of saving up for ages.
looking at 2 in front of me,
Eur840 gets you a box with Intel i3 with GTX 1650 & 512 GB SSD. Oddly enough an extra tenner gets you 256GB SSD. I dunno either.
So, are they duds for sale? If someone got them in easy refit boxes, what needs swapping out?

I assume it's this computer? https://www.currys.ie/ieen/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-pcs/pcspecialist-vortex-g30-gaming-pc-intel-core-i3-gtx-1650-512-gb-ssd-10236924-pdt.html
New CPU but only 4cores/8threads + 3yo budget GPU that was terrible when released. Bad value.

If you want cheap, Lenovo have i5-10400F+1650 Super for 680: https://www.lenovo.com/ie/en/desktops-and-all-in-ones/ideacentre/500-series/IdeaCentre-Gaming-5i/p/90N900FDUK
Or better, i5-11400F + 1660 Super for 920: https://www.lenovo.com/ie/en/desktops-and-all-in-ones/ideacentre/500-series/IdeaCentre-Gaming-5i-Gen-6/p/90RE00KDUK
Decent Ryzen 5-3600 + 1660 for 800 on Paradigit: https://www.paradigit.ie/msi-mag-meta-s-3si-020mys/21195793/product/9641
