Any decent deals on desktop pc? (£600 - £900 budget)
I am after a new pc as mine has now died :(
I do a bit of gaming and movie encoding and my budget is as per title.
Any decent offers on at the minute to get the most for my cash?!
I have seen:

No self-build and require a fitted CD/DVD drive.
Also, if i get a system with no OS, i have seen keys for £10 - how do i use a key to install a new OS (or can i not and need the CD/DVD?)
Ta!

You can create a USB install media for the OS and enter the key during install :)

Any of these any good?
Re: Any decent deals on desktop pc? (£600 - £900 budget)
do a self build you will save hundreds, ive a pc same spec as this http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default...CT&KEY=1258716 except my GPU is a GXT960 built 18mths ago and still runs like a dream £700 to build.
It's really not hard to build your own pc and the lads here can spec up parts with urls to each bit.

I struggle to change a light bulb. I'd rather get a prebuilt and then any issues i have the warranty and the fact it wasn't my cold dead hands that fecked with anything.
Re: Any decent deals on desktop pc? (£600 - £900 budget)
I think when it comes to self-builds, the cheaper end of the market (£299-£499) tend to have a very tight margin. The savings for self-builds really come into play when you are talking about gaming rigs of upwards of £750+.
When I was younger, I would build systems for me/family/friends or for profit no probs. These days I honestly can't be arsed. My current one is self-built but my next will be bought as is with probably a seperate GFX card added.

The Vanquish Impact III looks good value for your money. If you sourced all the parts I don't think there would be much change from a grand. The warranty would worry me. You only get 1 year parts. So if you had problems with the graphics card (worth £550+) after a year you would have to bare the cost of a replacement -most graphics cards are usually sold with a 2 year warranty.

But there is a £50 discount code for this model - so possibly £974 - any good?
Also, for my lad, i have seen this:

He is after a gaming PC, but we cannot afford a similar spec to the above - would this run the likes of The Culling, CS GO etc?

Have bought hundreds of things from them and never an issue.

If you look again you can "advanced customize" their PC's as they are all built to order.
If the website doesnt have the option contact them as I have in the past and they will do pretty much everything.
DVD & 5.1 will probably only add just over £50 to that price imho
Edit: It already has inbuilt 5.1/7.1 sound so will be even cheaper.

If it was a choice between Mesh & CCL, I'd go with the latter. Plus they offer a 3 year parts/labour warranty. https://www.cclonline.com/pc/gaming-...02030201000001

Scans 3XS Custom builds with professional overclock are worth a look too.
You can customise to what you want power and look wise also.

i've decided to wait for any Halloween/Black Friday deals - maybe get more for my cash that way.

The biggest problem with this article is that there's no actual content. It's just a heading, a picture, and a comments section.
