Intel Core i5 6400 - £140
Ram - £40
SSD - £35
1 TB Hard Drive - £40
960 GPU - £160
DVD writer - £12
Total - £427. Aye, I'd call it over-priced.

You're paying £120 for what is probably a poor quality PSU (£30?), a motherboard that isn't stated and a £20 case. It isn't a good deal, it's completely average. You could buy the parts yourself for the same price or cheaper.

Also, you're just going to run into a brick wall with a 960 card over the next 2-3 years. Just buy a 970, it's worth the extra £80-90.

Oh. And it comes with no Operating System, so you'd have to fork out a fair bit for that!

over priced ? .... Really ?
Can you tell me where I can get these parts to build this PC for cheaper if this one is ,like you say 'over priced' ....

I understand the 960 card isn't the best and I don't think anybody here suggested or implied it was either , its horses for courses surely , the 960 is also not the most expensive and no doubt if you pay more money you would secure a better card.

This is quite expensive. Also the three year warranty is a red herring, since if you buy PC parts individually yourself they tend to have AT LEAST a three year warranty any way - some GPUs have lifetime warranties now. In any case, if the thing goes wrong you'll have to ship the entire PC to them instead of just the broken part

Building a PC is easier than LEGO, I build my first when I was in Primary School. Wrap all the parts up together and build it with your son on Christmas morning - it'd be a great bonding experience.

If I was spending this much cash on a gaming machine I'd build this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/ftcp6h

Yes the CPU is weaker, but not that much weaker and the move to DDR4 is pointless for a mid-range gaming PC right now. You're better of getting a better GPU.

960 is fine for 1080p. Don't listen to all the geeks who live in 4k world trying to squeeze every frame per second out of their machine as if their life depended on it.

don't forget to install Windows so not to have massive disappointment Christmas morning.

I too am looking for a gaming PC for my son but am slightly worried re eBay guarantee etc what's to say they will honour it? Are they a real company off eBay? And where would onsite be?

just a small bit of advice. If you understand PCs then i would buy used - far more bang for your buck and that is what the kids want MORE FPS

No mention of the power supply or motherboard (key components) I see.

That's a well balanced system Op! My only worry is what PSU are they using? And is that kingston ssd using the carp nand flash chips bringing speed down considerably? Other than that you'd struggle to build cheaper! I managed £555 before delivery on pcpartpicker, so not a bad deal at all :smiley:

Over priced tbh. A 960? Not the best card.

I think it's a really good deal, I'd just be concerned as to what PSU they will use to power it. It may be worth sending them a message asking for this information.

Id bite if it had windows for that price. Seen options like this without OS or but with older i5 4460 for around £499. Ebuyer did have Zoostorm i5 4460, 8gb,1tb,gtx960 and windows for £499 until it disappeared a week ago. Waiting for black friday now hoping to get it all for £499 with OS.
