Pc on finance help

[mpickstonbishop]

Hi everyone, thanks for reading.
I'm looking for a gaming pc that I can pay for monthly with relatively good specs. I can't afford to build one so was thinking finance was the best way to go. I found a deal on ebuyer which seamed reasonable but was just wondering if anyone knew of anything better before I purchased.
Thank you again!

I know UK prices are different. However...


That same (or better) parts list in the US can be done for only $1580.
vs your £1469.99 (conversion = $1956)
Add on financing, and you're paying $1,000 more for that thing from ebuyer.


They conveniently leave off the details.
What PSU?
What specific SSD?
What make/model RAM or motherboard?

Such a money conversion does in practicallity not work,if you take your list and at the right hand top switch country to UK it will show £1474.68 without windows added.
I do agree on the parts,where with your system it does give good parts while with that pre build you might just get a (if your're lucky) meh psu and somewhat decent ssd.

What do you mpickstonbishop actually mean by "I can't afford to build one",cause can't afford sounds sometimes like don't know how to ... and if really a money issue,what would be a max budget for you? If i may ask of course ...

Really need the i7? Not that it isn't a good choice ... ,but the 8400/8600 are for gaming purposes mostly good enough.
