Is PC Specialists good? is the specs I have researched and selected good? is the pricing good?

I like them. I've ordered for myself and for others a few times from them with satisfactory service, including support after for replacement parts.

 

I might consider one of the big deals about getting a prebuilt is the support and service - check the pricing for additional cover, such a more years of parts rather than just 3y of labour. Up to you.

 

Decent spec. What's the 4tb external drive for?

Budget (including currency): 

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Destiny, Assetto Corsa, Borderlands, Revit, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Twinmotion, Sketchup, Rhino

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I have very little idea about how to build a PC, hence why I don't trust myself to build one myself. Is PC Specialists good? is the specs I have researched and selected good? is the pricing good? Do we think it will run my software and more? From my research this seems reasonable for a custom PC, including peripherals, delivery and warranties. Please see attached.

 

Cheers.

Ok didn't realize there was several pages lol

Exact same build on DIY is just short of £2000 with VAT, so they take quite a margin

RAM isn't very good also
