This maybe old tech but the 4790 still sits on top/on par with the 6700k and the 980ti will still be useable for years to come.

980ti is comparable to 1070 as well, for now.

Where are you going to get the best processor and graphics card for around £400? When it was published that was hands down the best deal I've seen for the hardware installed! Of course it's expired so moot point now.

is this not a better deal? you can change to the best processor and graphics card and it is still under £1000

actually a good value prebuilt - the GPU and CPU may be older but more recent equivalents have been more geared toward efficiency than outright power so you aren't losing much real-use grunt. nowt beats building your own but if you factor in the hours spent researching bits, ordering from cheapest supplier, waiting for everything to arrive bit by bit then the assembly, cable routing, fan flow tweaking, then all the windows installing and driver updating then having it show up in a nice ready-to-use package doesn't seem that bad.

me i'd never give up that magic moment when you power up for the first time whether it's a naked motherboard , sat on your desk with cables running in every direction to the dissected components around it turned on by jamming a screwdriver across it's power button pins or when you finally get everything in the case with wires hidden away and the satisfaction of a job well done. after several heart-stopping moments where a new build has failed to post because i've forgot a fiddly extra 4-pin power cable or similar i would consider going the easy route though :S

and for all that typing, i've checked the link and it seems to be over 2grand now anyway, expired ?

that's a sweet-looking case but seems a little steep for the privilege of having a PC with those parts pre-built for you.

Shows as over 2 grand?

Should be able to get a 6700k and GTX 1070 for this price then it would be worthwhile...nothing special here otherwise so not voting either way...

For £1000 this is really good imo, if building this pc I would calculate all the parts to cost a minimum of £1400

980ti is comparable to 1070 as well, for now.

You probably wouldn't buy some of these parts, but for the price it's still a good buy.

Only thing I can say is, is 32gb ram necessary? Lol

This maybe old tech but the 4790 still sits on top/on par with the 6700k and the 980ti will still be useable for years to come.

Only thing with this is that the no-one is going to buy a 980ti for £499.99 and i7-4790 for £285.27

Do you have a Titan X, if not then your 5 generations out of step. Yes I think this logic is stupid.:smirk:

Pc part picked it using bottom basement options https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LTpbRG looks like a good deal if a generation out of step.

indeed old tech

good spec pc but older tech, in my opinion i think you could build a better spec cheaper, although i think for a pre-built with high spec it may be worth it for someone. nice find op.
