OH looking for a new gaming PC, so looking for suggestions on where to get one. Currys have naff all in stock after the Xmas rush.
Looking at probably an i5, 16Gb RAM,6GB 1060 graphics, smallish SSD,2TB HDD, ethernet & WiFi,,& usual keyboard/mouse gubbins. Monitor already sorted.
Where might be the best place to get that online? Any suggested tweaks or alterations?
Budget=£1000-1100 ISH
Thanks

To be honest,I probably could do a self build, but would rather get someone who knows what they are doing ... see my other thread on ethernet issues for my lack of ability biggrin
Monitor is 1440 off the top of my head

Alas I have about 10% of the net speed required for that cloud set up,thanks to BT not bothering to upgrade their proxy cabinet fully.
I will try overclockers later.

She is looking at a desktop,and already bought the monitor,so wouldn't want to waste that outlay. But that's a damn nice machine
I don't think I want to try a self build,not least as if it went wrong then it's ME that gets the st not the manufacturer smile
Found a Decent looking one on ebuyer earlier, lost the sodding link now

Got a slightly cheaper but better spec machine from Ebuyer in the end without the disco ball case.
Good news it comes tomorrow
Bad news it's coming via Yodel
