They are a german company who assembles computers. You can order a computer from them through their pc configurator. I found that the prices are very reasonable. For example this system would cost me 682 euros with assembly and express shipping to my country : 

 

• Case (Case) :
  Wildrabbit Black Rabbit Green LED Light FAN
• CPU (Processor) :
  Intel Core i3-9100F 4x 3.60GHz (BX80684I39100F)
• Mainboard :
  ASUS Prime H310M-R R2.0 (90MB0YL0-M0ECY0)
• Video Card (VGA Card) :
  MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor OC 8G (V341-064R)
• System Memory (RAM) :
  16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX schwarz DIMM Kit DDR4-2400 (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16)
• SSD :
  240GB Crucial BX500 High Performance SSD (CT240BX500SSD1)
• Hard Disc (HDD) :
  1TB Western Digital WD Blue 64MB Cache (WD10EZEX)
• Power Supply Unit (PSU) :
  600W be quiet! System Power 9 (BN247)
• CPU Cooler (Cooler) :
  Arctic Alpine 12 (ACALP00027A)

 

 

But I've not heard much about them. Any experiences here ?

have not dealt with them personally, but to put it simply, this is a horrendous deal.

dead platform. 600w is not needed. the cooler is bad afaik. a really bad cpu. meh board. 

i would not get something like this, build your own pc, for 700 pounds, you can get something that is so much better.

I mean....it's not horrible value if you're going on the price of the components. It is, however, a horrible build. I wouldn't even bother paying money for that cooler, the CPU isn't a great deal, I'd ditch the SSD/HDD combo and just get a 1TB SSD, lower wattage PSU, etc.

Well about the deal I don't think it's THAT bad as you mention. A better cooler can be installed for around 20 more euros. The CPU is exactly the one I have and I don't think it's bad. I play AC : Odyssey (demanding game even by 2020 standards) on average of 53 FPS everything on ultra 1080p. My system is paired with a GTX 980, identical to performance to the GTX 1650 SUPER/RX 580 (the same as the system above) and I built my own system for 600 euros.

 

600 euros (self assembled and second hand GPU)

vs

680 euros (ready assembled and brand new GPU)

 

Seems like an ok deal to me.

No, that build is pretty atrocious and I'd say close to malicious. It's incredibly bad value and incredibly unbalaced. You can get MUCH better for the money.

ok then, how can I get 'MUCH better' for my money? I live in Sicily. An island below Italy. Find me a single place where I can buy much cheaper compnents for my money then *shrug*

You're buying a CPU that is already not enough for many modern games and will bottleneck the card.
A board that is so low quality and so barebones that is should be free

Extremely slow memory that will only further cripple the CPU
The lowest end power supplies available without ordering from China

An SSD that is infamous for mediocre performance and poor value
A useless cooler that won't make any tangible difference in performance

 

A MUCH better approach is to go on Amazon Italy and other etailers, get a 3100, B450 board, 16GB DDR4-3000 (because you can literally get upward of  5 - 10% performance on both AMD and Intel by going from 2400 to 3000), an RX 580 or 1060/1660 (even used is fine), a cheaper case and a CX450 and you will have a system that is higher quality and over 40% faster on the CPU side.
