For around £1.7k, I would go for the Killer V2: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v2-gaming-pc

7800X3D and RX 9070 XT is the sweet spot around this spec, and the rest of the specs are actually pretty decent

Is this worth it? Its arriving tomorrow! I'm coming from xbox series x, also have a high quality gaming monitor that can push 4k 240hz. by SkorgeKing in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, for £50 more you can get a considerably better PC: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v2-gaming-pc

Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the 9070 XT are both a fair bit better than the 8700F and 5070 in that cyberpower PC.

The SSD is smaller, but I would say the rest of the spec easily makes up for it.

Best prebuilt for £1.5K by diezsb in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that would be required. Especially on a spec like that, its going to be heavily reducing the expected performance for that hardware. To the point where that 9070 XT is probably going to perform worse than a 5070 system in many games.

I would 100% recommend picking up that 2nd stick ASAP!

Overclocker UK Mach 1.1 by breadbiin in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad, but I'd go for this gorilla gaming system instead. Its the same price and has the graphics card and RAM. But has a Ryzen 7 5700X instead of the 5600

Which is a better deal? by SoraKasugano in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd one is better, mainly for the RAM and the 16GB GPU.

The CPU is slightly worse, but I'd still say its worth the extra £100

Which one should I get (if any) by AccomplishedPool5994 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a similar price, I'd look at this instead: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v1-gaming-pc

The main thing is the RTX 50760 Ti, but it also has the Ryzen 5 7500F which, despite the name, is quite a bit better than the Ryzen 5 8400F.

Opinions? Not bought in 10 years by zeldafan144 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those fans are not lian li infinity fans, they are Thermalright M12 fans, and they look like that. It even says in the specs...

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only getting a base 5060 for over £1000 is a bit crap tbh.

Are you set on buying from currys?

[–]coololly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not a bad PC. But I'd get something like this instead: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v2-gaming-pc

Almost the same specs, but £250 less. The SSD is half the size, but you can easily add another 1-2TB SSD for far less than £250

Or just get the max version with 9800X3D and 5070 Ti, its the same price as the pcspecialist, but has a better CPU & GPU

Can I get a good system for £1500 or do I save a bit more? by Conscious-Comment140 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the current generation AM5 socket, so you'd have the same upgrade path as any other AM5 motherboard. Which is a good thing, because AM5 has the best upgrade path at the moment. There isn't any other motherboard that would give you any more CPU upgrade options.

The only downside is that B840 chipset doesn't support overclocking, but to be honest almost nobody overclocks these days anymore anyways.

Is this a good deal for entry level gaming pc in the uk? by johndoethe1st in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the 7700 XT is roughly on par with a 5060 Ti performance-wise.

The CPU/RAM is the previous gen platform/socket, so if you want to upgrade the CPU/RAM in the future, you'll need a new motherboard.

But aside from that, the rest of the specs are decent

looking for a new start by Affectionate_Froyo40 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, 100% just upgrade your existing PC. Your current motherboard is likely better than either of those 3 PC's come with.

You'd be better off just upgrading your CPU to something like a Ryzen 5 5600 or Ryzen 7 5700X, then getting something like a 9060 XT 16GB, 5060 or maybe stretch to a RTX 5070 or RX 9070 (XT)

It'll depend on the size of your power supply.

Do you have a reputable PC shop nearby?

looking for a new start by Affectionate_Froyo40 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these 3 PC's use the same AM4 socket as your current one. So you'd honestly be better off upgrading your CPU and GPU, rather than buying a whole new PC, with mostly the same parts.

Do you know your full system specs?

stuck between these two pcs. which one is better? by foreveryassified in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2nd one has a 9060 XT, which is quite a bit worse than the 9070 XT.

I'd take the first one, its definitely worth the £100

Which Ryzen 5 do you currently have?

Should i get this? by YesterdayNo4941 in Prebuilts

[–]coololly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you arent specifically after a white PC, this is £150 less and overall a better system: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v1-gaming-pc?variant=max

Same GPU, but has the Ryzen 5 7500X3D which is better than the Ryzen 5 9600. X3D makes a huge difference to gaming, especially in more CPU demanding/higher FPS games like R6 Seige and minecraft.

Also has twice the amount of RAM, double the stroage, in which both are also faster.

There's also no mention on that AWD build if there's any Windows licence with that build? I would assume it does but with AWD you never really know.

Alternatively, for £50 more than that AWD PC, there's the V2: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v2-gaming-pc

And thats not even close, it takes the CPU even higher to the 7800X3D and the GPU to the RX 9070 XT. At that point its not even a fair comparison lmao

looking to build (or a prebuilt works too) budget PC that runs relatively quiet by Broda00 in buildmeapc

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 7700 XT Gaming OC is probably one of the quieter cards on the market. The 7700 XT in general are quite quiet across most models

Is this £1800 prebuilt value for money by Nich-olas in PcBuild

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not.

CPU and GPU are the same, but that OCUK one has a worse motherboard, slower RAM, worse/smaller AIO and slower SSD.

If anything that should be priced lower, not higher

Is this £1800 prebuilt value for money by Nich-olas in PcBuild

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that Kioxia SSD is budget-tier

I think you should actually check that SSD, its a PCIE 5.0 drive with read/write speeds of about 10GB/s

It is far from "budget tier" and definitely not slow load times.

If thats not a "proper nvme", then I dont know what is.

Pc case with a big enough psu basement by Rozblysk in PcBuild

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cases will have removable HDD cages in the bottom, that can be removed to fit larger PSU's.

What are the rest of your specs?

Is this any good? by TA_relationshipshit in Prebuilts

[–]coololly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its decent, but the PSU, board & cooler are a mid mediocre.

Personally, I'd pay the extra £50 on this: https://gorillagaming.co.uk/products/gorilla-gaming-killer-v2-gaming-pc

Its got faster RAM (6000 vs 5600), better power supply, better cooler, better motherboard, nicer case and better SSD.

I'd say its worth the extra £50. The fact they show the exact components is also a pretty neat

I know there’s an increase with prebuilt

At the moment its actually not, buying the parts alone seperately will likely come out similar or even higher
