    Hi. Would appreciate some advice ! Back in the day I picked parts and built my own but I dont have the time or the knowledge now with all the advances to do that.

    I have an i5 2500K, 8 gb of ram and a GTX 1060 3GB. It served me well for a long time but I don't game much anymore. The odd time I fire up some older games it works fine.

    With the end of Win 10 support and no option to upgrade to 11, a bit more time on my hands and going to give more gaming a go I'm looking at prebuilds.

    I know theres a mark up on everything going this route but I don't mind that once its not ridiculous.

    I mostly play FPS like Ready or Not and some flight sims at 1080.

    I saw this on paradigit. Its pretty much my budget. Is it reasonable for the price ? It doesnt have to have all the bells and whistles just once its not massively overpriced. Again I'm not going to build my own anymore just asking ifs its a fair price or maybe somebody may have a link to a better prebuild.

    Thanks !

    Long story short, its a perfectly good deal. The motherboard, RAM (DDR4-5200 isn't great but not a show stopper) and PSU might be a bit cheap and not top but as long as they function it's a good system.
