Question Which Gaming PC for £1500

[Insayness]

Hey guys, I been looking around for past couple of days for a good gaming PC.

I found 2, completed different, but wonder which one would be better. In terms of CPU +GPU

Lenovo Legion T7 Gaming Tower 26L Desktop (AMD Ryzen 7, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, AMD Radeon RX6800XT https://amzn.eu/d/7v5SbNv

Or

Acer Predator Orion 3000 PO3-630 Gaming PC - (Intel Core i7-11700F, 16GB, 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 https://amzn.eu/d/4KuwZ1a

I know I can upgrade the RAM and SSD.

So my main question would be, which one would offer better performance in CPU+GPU? And also what about cooling? Would it be enough for these systems.

Casual gaming in 1440p and 1080p

And if you have any hidden gems around £1500 would be great. Thanks

The problem with prebuilts from the big-wigs is that aftermarket tinkering with said prebuilts are going to be little to none. Watercooling? Where, neither of them have it stated in their product description nor their images.

If it's something you need out of the box and you won't be tinkering with the innards, I'd side with the Lenovo in your listing. The Acer looks like a hotbox, provide the top and front of the case are actually meshed/vented panels.

Okay so Lenovo is better. I would imagine the cooling is just a Fan. Just can't find a good prebuild within my budget. And if I do custom builder, any specs higher than 3060 is way over budget.

You can always build it yourself so you know the components your receiving. Get yourself a cheap USB flash drive, download Windows installer and use the free version of Windows 11 for now. If you find yourself needing more storage you can get yourself a cheap 1TB SATA SSD in the future.
