What PC is better

[louis hills]

Please can you guys help me what PC is better thanks

The top one.

 

Though if youre just gaming, im assuming the bottom one is cheaper so I'd get that. You wont notice difference in performance if thats the case.

Top is better

What do both of these cost?

The fact neither of them is using a Dual channel ram setup makes me sad.  Also these are Ryzen systems and they are only using 2400mhz ram, when the different between 2400 and 3000 is very minuscule these days. So seeing that that Ryzen is very dependent on memory speed the fact these are running single channel low speed ram means you should probably look elsewhere.

Neither, build it yourself. It's not hard.

Both have major design flaws

- Only a single ram chip

- Ram is rated at a lowly 2400mhz

 

I'm not 100% sure, but i guess this is the computer you're looking at? The top one

Note: Upgrade from 2400mhz to 3000mhz is currently free

 

1. Go to the RAM section and swap to 2*8 GB corsair memory for another 60£

3000 MHZ CL 15 kit of 2 chips

 

2. Go to the GPU section and swap to the 1060 3GB for another 47£ OR the 1060 6GB for another 92£. Alternatively if you want AMD. 570 4GB is 83£ and the 580 8GB is 120£. The 570 is poor value, but the 580 is not too bad.

 

3. Go to the PSU section and select the 600W option for another 5£

The standard only comes with a 400W PSU, which is fine, but another 200W is only 5 pounds. So definitely go for that.

 

4. Go to the cooler section and select the Corsair H60 for 27£ or the H80I V2 for 52£

 

5. Paying 10£ or 11£ adds 3 fans

 

With all these options, you're paying 1107£ over the 845£ base price. If building your own computer is out of your expertise, and you cannot feasibly get anyone to do it for you. It's not a bad buy when looking at the UK parts prices.

 

Both of these sites. Cyberpowersystems.co.uk and meshcomputers.com has a stupid policy of only selling 8GB ram chips, pretty much forcing 16GB on the consumer if they want to utilize dual channel. Further more, the standard memory speed is only 2400mhz.

 

Looking at Meshcomputers, it seems to be a scam (liberal use of the word) to me. Cyberpower is asking 47 pounds for a 1060 3GB and 92 pounds for a 1060 6GB. Meshcomputers is asking 84£ and 180£ respectively. 117£ extra going from 2600x to 2700x.

 

If you're looking to buy Intel

https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/CYBERPOWER-i5-Z370-Gaming-PC-CONFIGURATOR

 

Is not a bad pick. But same story here, 10£ fans, 11£ PSU, 47-120£ better GPU.

Corsair H60 is included in price and you still get the 3000mhz memory upgrade for free. The main difference here is that you can feasibly run an Intel i5 system with a single 8GB 3000MHZ chip, whereas you really ought to get two chips running an Ryzen 2700x system.
