Posted April 24, 2020 it's pretty bad for £1800. is this a pre-build? they are ripping you off. you can build this for £1000, although I would advise against it, as it has pretty bad components.

On amazon US I found a 24" curved 144hz monitor for $178 USD. Find a highly-rated monitor that's a good deal. I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times. Motherboard Tier List How many watts do I need?
