[SOLVED] CCL Prebuilt PC (is it worth it?)

[lucaparkes21]

I was thinking of building my PC but since graphics cards are overpriced, I want to buy a pre-built PC.

Opinions on this build:

Also, are pcspecialist PCs overpriced compared to this?

The RAM speed is going to slow you down and I'm curious as to what psu they're using seeing how they don't specify it.

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.

Thanks for the advice!
What is your opinion of PCS?
I have this build at the moment which amounts to £1100. I'm planning for gaming on a 1080p AOC 24g2 144Hz monitor which seems good in the price range.

This system has relatively slow 2666mhz ram and a slow Adata SSD, but otherwise overall seems decent.

Pricing wise it seems expensive for what you get

I'm curious as to what psu they're using seeing how they don't specify it.

They actually do. Its a Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 650w. A decent unit.

Extremely overpriced.

How much is it overpriced would you estimate and could you recommend any better pre built pc companies?
Thanks!

Just replace the RAM to 2x8GB 3600Mhz. Ebuyer usually has the best deals for RAM. You can also give this outfit a shot. One of the best in the UK although there's a few other decent ones.

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.

I was watching some GN as one should and I saw a $1000 prebuilt that might fit your needs.

Here is a link to the video ^-^

It looked fairly decent for a prebuilt , the one from CCL. You will have to pay for someone else to build it and for the warranty though so it is always cheaper to build it yourself.

Yea man there no shame in buying a pre built. Its just good business . 2666 isnt bad at all but remember Ryzen likes higher clocked ram. Maybe try intel build where ram speeds in that range are not going to break the build as bad.
