I've got to decide between two itx systems both of which have a gtx 1070, 16gb Ram and the same hard drive and other peripherals. The differences are this:
PC 1:
i7 6700 and 600W PSU
PC 2:
i5 6600 and 500W PSU

and PC 2 is £120 pounds cheaper so which one should i go with??
Thanks

For buying a prebuilt PC in the UK I would look to https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/

I have brought a few laptops via them and they have been seriously impressive.

The PSU's are correctly specced on the site as well and cost at most £109 above the standard price.


I only know its a 500w for PC 2 as overclockers doesnt say what it is exactly but for the first pc it is a Kolink 600W 80+ Bronze Rated PSU
 


With that PSU, neither. What's the point of paying through the nose for a prebuilt PC with expensive parts only to power it with low-grade Huntkey-manufactured junk? It's the equivalent of using the money for your insulin to paint a racing stripe on your car.
 

Oh then I'll have to pay maybe £200 quid for a configuration with a gold rate 600w psu would you say thats worth it?
 


£200 to get a competent PSU which can be had for £60? Who is the builder? This is a near-scam level of markup.
 

Its oveclockers who are a good company in the uk for pcs but the problem is that they have different configurations so whether through accident or on purpose I cant change the PSU on these configurations but only through a configuration which is more expensive to do
