the cashback is misleading. I imagine most on HUKD won't have company accounts to claim VAT back as well, so it should be £119.09 after cashback.

As for Gen10, I was not aware until just looking at quickspecs. Seems a weak system for 2017 - and only AMD processor at the moment, along with 32GB RAM limit. I get it's deliberately limited to not interfere with their ML10 line, but this could have so much more potential when you look how far the NUCs have come.

Firstly, why are you shouting?

Secondly, no. Issues with PC gaming right now are that GPUs are expensive due to high demand from the Ethereum miners.

You'll want to spend around £300 for a basic system for Minecraft. My current budget gaming rig recommendations:

Good - £275.53 - Super basic gaming rig, good for Minecraft and eSports, not much else.

so you gave the pre-discount price INCLUDING VAT but the discounted price EXCLUDING VAT.
nice one on the misleading advert. /r/hailcorporate

It's not a joke. I will help anyone, for free, to build their own gaming rig.

I have already helped quite a few members now through posts exactly like this one, I'll admit they don't look great but that's a limitation of the formatting tools available. But thanks for the support mate, I'm so glad you're such an active and helpful member of the community.

You forgot delivery aswell.

just seen your comment regarding the gen10, cant see it for sale anywhere, why would anyone prefer this one?

only reason i kept my gen 7 is the dual PCI slots

the cashback is misleading. I imagine most on HUKD won't have company accounts to claim VAT back as well, so it should be £119.09 after cashback.

ServeTheHome reviewed the Gen10

CPU no longer upgradeable, no iLO. The two DisplayPorts are nice though.

Some info about Gen10 compared to the other ones.

Date and terms sounds dodgy says it has to be delivered before 30th and claim recieved before 31st. of june

Don't need it, have 2 Gen7 that are still working fine. If it was sub-£100 after cashback, I'd have probably bought one anyway, but this price, I'll pass.
