A 2080ti is a bad investment at this time as they are still wayyy over priced.
Not sure why folks are advising against not self building, its just leecy Lego, plug it all in and go!Agree with all that. I was just picking an example of something comfortably better than the spec for the budget.
Plus you save loads of money.
Don't necessarily agree with that. The Alienware/Dell I have was the first machine I'd bought off the shelf for 15 years instead of building it. I couldn't have bought the parts for less than the cost of the machine, not even close. I'm not completely convinced Dell didn't misprice it at the time.
I wouldn't advise against self building. I quite like picking the parts and, as you say, it's a piece of cake to build. I'd advise against self building if it's because you think you'll save loads.
Probably the same arguments as building a bike / buying OTP in the sales.
Comfortably that spec for under 2k.
Don't need to build your own PC unless you particularly want to.
Just looking at the 2k figure, if you can find a student to get the 20% then Dell Outlet would do you this for £1972.80 (2055+VAT -20%)
The 'scratch and dent' is almost always extremely minor
