Hi, I’ve owned a gaming PC for some time now and I’ve been tasked with finding one for my brother. I found this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyberpower...SPL&ascsubtag=pcg-1151842153356046390-21&th=1
My budget is around £1000. It should be able to play games like PUBG and Overwatch effectively. Would it be worth investing in any upgrade (from experience I’m thinking RAM)? If anyone could offer any advice it’d be much appreciated
 
Solution
all retailers on the list were in the UK as far as I know.
I went through the list and the new list everything is available from AriaPC in Manchester. the power supply is available from several UK retailers but everything else is now an ariaPC option.

as an example.
twice the SSD space 50% more HDD space, a newer faster GPU, and a much better more efficient Gold rated PSU to feed everything.
no monitor or peripherals listed so I assume they are not part of the package.

Thanks for the reply. I built my previous PC one problem I found is most parts aren’t available in the UK and need to be shipped from the US. The tax often made the parts much more expensive than their listed price. Still thanks for the advice I’ll look into it.

Building in the UK is easy, you shouldn’t need to ship from overseas. Check sites like scan, aria, Ebuyer for parts.
