Which will be best also Zotac Asus or Gigabyte?

I'm not really fussy when it comes to some things tbh. Single monitor display at 1080p is what I'm running now.

Was looking at buying a GTX 1060 6GB, however, someone locally is selling 3GB models at £110 each (New). Has good reviews etc. Would it be worth spending £100 more for 6GB model?

Thanks for your help, hes gone with a cyberpower machine. I'll check it over for him maybe. see that its OK. I did try right before he bought it, but his mind was set.

Thanks for this input and research, I will look into it. I have tried so hard. He said "Maybe for his next build" (He said this when he got his last laptop...) He says its cause he's lazy Its been a while since I looked at PC parts, didn't realise how cheap you could build this PC for yourself... My last build last year (i5 7600k, 8GB DDR4, 1TB, 1060 GB) was fine and took no longer than 40 mins? He is adamant on prebuild and is planning to buy today, so on a side note, I need to delete this post when it goes dead, so he cant find it... Will try one last attempt... Thats fair, I will look at this build. Don't know much about the AMD chips, so will look into it. Will try to, but can't see it happening any time soon. I would kill to save £100+ on a custom / spend £100 more on parts if someone offered it to me.

I did have a look Works out more expensive for the same build. the only over option was this https://www.cclonline.com/pc/gaming-pcs/ryzen/ccl-ryzen-gs-gaming-pc/ (get OS ISO from MS and get a code from ebay....) I think he prefers intel, but this may work out better on his budget.

That was his original plan, however as above, this pre build is same price and better specs than his "configured" build/ (e.g double amount of RAM, 6GB instead of 3GB card, 240GB SSD instead of £120...

He was gonna get a company to "configure" a build to his specs, but this pre build is same price and better specs (e.g double amount of RAM, 6GB instead of 3GB card, 240GB SSD instead of £120...

You think I haven't been trying? XD. All my friends have, but all have given up. I'm basically gonna help him find a good value system, rather than spending a lot and getting ripped off..

Personally never had a problem with Ebuyer,

I've offered to build it out right for free for him... still no.

Lazy..... I've tried everything.... tried for 1 year. He finally has money.

My friends looking for a pre build, I've offered to build one, but he said no, so I've looked at pre builds. Is this OK, could I get anything better for the budget? https://www.ebuyer.com/859688-cyberpower-gaming-paladin-elite-i5-8400-gtx-1060-6gb-ebu081810

Got a friend adamant on a prebuilt. I've even offered to build a custom one for free, but still no. His options are pre-build or pay a shit tone to get a "custom one done" on a website. Before he buys, is there any good Black Friday deals on any?

Turns off after a couple mins. Yes trackpad... Couldn't think of the name for it... Fn+F6 (screen sleep thing) works. Thats all I can see working anyway Will check device manager,

Mouse and keyboard was working fine, but had forgot the password, so booted windows 10 onto it. Now the mouse isn't working and the keyboard works briefly. Touchscreen works fine. I assume this is a OS based issue as it was working fine. Not in tablet mode. What could be the issue?

Edit: It was booting in the wrong mode. Literally fixed it in the car on the way home from picking it up. That's essentially why I bought it. I knew if I couldn't fix it, I could sell individual parts easy enough.

Thanks for the help.I'll go visit them and buy the laptop.

I'm fine with trying to boot from another hard drive and checking BIOS. Is there a chance its related to something else? If I end up buying it, I'll be sure to try this first. I dont have the laptop on me as I dont own it yet.

Someone local is selling a laptop cheaply that wont boot past the inital black screen. (see photos). I used to trouble shooting desktops, but whats it like with laptops. Is it going to be an easy fix or hard? Don't really want to buy if its going to be a massive headache. https://gyazo.com/c84de6738269e33dfd31d8afecbee49e Laptop is an acer V3-112P

Applied for the P20 for £20/month. Hope I pass credit checks...

Thanks for your help. Would it be a noticeable difference in performance etc. I will probs get the p20, but it has a higher upfront cost.. Any other devices I should consider before buying?

Looking at these contracts and lots of the spec seems similar and the price looks similar also. I prefer the look and headphone jack on the lite. is the P20 worth the couple of pound extra a month?

Things I would like in a phone - Fluid - Large display - Android Added bonus -Nice camera - Headphone jack - Long battery Looking at around £20 a month with a max upfront of £20 I use about a GB of data, a few texts and hardly any mins. I was looking at the Huawei P20 , but can't decide on normal or lite as there doesn't seem to be a huge difference, and tbh, I prefer the look of the lite.. Maybe a galaxy? Anything else I should look for? I was looking at using Mobiles.co.uk as its so much cheaper than offer places. Thanks for the help/.
