New PC build

[niowen188]

Hi

I'm looking to build a new gaming rig, I've come up with some options from pcspecilist and ukgamingcomputers. Both companies seem good and reasonably priced. I wondered if anyone has had experience using either of them

I keep hearing "build your own" which is an option but using overclockers for parts, the price isn't that much cheaper then the companies above

Any advice would be appreciated. Budget is 2k possibly slightly more if makes a big difference and I'll prob wait till December time as hoping for some price drops

Is 2k euro? Pound? Usd? Aud? Cad?

Which country are you buying it from?

niowen188, familiar with pcspecialists but not UK Gaming Computers. pcspecialists have a forum section that is very useful in case you need support one day.

you can wait for the performance benchmark of rtx series card and decides, but generally, this setup give a strong base for overclocking the 8700k, you should be able to achieve 4.8 ghz + all cores on the 8700k with reasonable temperature.
