I need help

Okey so I’m relatively new to pc gaming and I have always used consol to game on but I’ve been using my laptop which is literal trash to pc game and I’ve started looking for a decent desktop for the £1000 or about $1250 the best I’ve found was a cyber power linked here, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B074J98ZCG/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

with the specs of intel core i5-8400, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 8GB ram, 480GB ssd, 600w 80+ psu, WiFi, windows 10, lite 5. Any advise on the pc or if anyone knows a better prebuilt option would be appreciated.

Is building your own PC an option?

Thats not a bad PC for its price, it should be able to run about any game on high/max settings. if you do go with the prebuilt I would suggest you upgrade the RAM to 16GB and get like a 1TB HDD for games storage. But, if you can build your own PC, you could make something similar (likely with more RAM and a HDD) for a bit cheaper than the prebuilt.

I’ve never built a pc and just don’t wanna fuck it up and from what I’ve seen the pc linked is pretty good for the price and building my own wouldn’t be to much cheaper.

Don't buy a pre-build pc from the likes of Amazon. Get one from an actual pc store such as Aria (Gladiator), Scan or Overclockers etc. 

 

The one in the link more than likely has a crap power supply, as they have to cheap out somewhere to keep the cost down.

 

I would look at a Ryzen R5 2600 build for this sort of budget. A good pc store should be able to build you something to your own spec if you buy all the bits from them. 

 

 

So here is a rough idea of what I would look for.

 

You can use W10 unactivated to start with. You can buy cheap W10 keys from places that sell game keys but not sure how legit etc.
