I've been out of the windows hardware situation for a good decade and I need to buy a gaming pc with a budget off £2k
I don't want to build from parts at all.
I have no idea whether intel or.AMD is the way to go these days in either CPU or graphics.
Can someone recommend a PC builder that they have had positive actual experience with and what is the best spec to aim for?

thanks in advance

this is what I am seeing in this price range - any good?

Other than the rightfully ostracised 14900KF CPU, the relatively slow RAM and the Norton malware there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

I'd prefer a 9800X3D CP, 9070XT GPU, and 6000MHz RAM...but that's just me!

I wouldn’t touch Intel for gaming at the moment, as above you want an AMD AM5 based system, ideally a 9800X3D. GPU wise high end Nvidia 5080 is preferable to an AMD 9070 XT if you can get it in your budget, but if not the 9070XT would be my pick over lower Nvidia cards. Whatever GPU it must be a minimum of 16Gb VRAM.

The bonus of an AM5 based system is that it will be upgradable to at least the next one, if not two generations of AMD processors providing a future upgrade path for 5 years or so.
