  • Yeah, I'm sure peeps said they were a spendy way of buying a machine but I can't be arsed building a machine up. I want it to arrive, I want it working and I want to migrate everything and retire the old machine asap.

    Their GPU options are a bunch of stuff I've never heard of...

    Motherboard video only (Intel HD 530 graphics / triple display out)- £53.32
    Sapphire AMD R5 230 FLEX Fanless 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E HDMI Low Profile ? - £10.43
    Palit Geforce Fanless GT730 2GB GDDR3 Graphics Card ? - £5.93
    Asus Geforce Fanless GT730 2GB GDDR3 Graphics Card ? [Due in 2 days]
    PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 300 x16 Dual DVI / VGA Low Profile Video Card ? + £50.38
    Palit Geforce GTX 750 Ti Kalmx Silent 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card ? + £55.69
    PNY NVIDIA Quadro K600 1GB GDDR3 Low Profile Video Card ? + £96.23
    PNY NVIDIA NVS 510 Quad DisplayPort UHD 4K Graphics Card

    I picked the Asus out of familiarity. Never heard of Palit, PNY or Sapphire.

  • I had never used a PC before let alone built one until I got bored at work and bought all the bits to do so.
    It was very very simple, electric lego you could say, and worked first time (Windows 10).
    If everything is new there is no reason why it wouldnt just work once put together.
    Also, i7 is way overkill.

    This.

    I built mine a while ago.

    The advantage is that you learn how they get built and how to upgrade them again.

  • I've built PCs before, that's not the issue. The issue is time. I'm a contractor - it would literally cost me more money to build it myself.
