I've been keeping my eye on PC deals since I missed out on an amazing Costco one a few months back
But these 'build it yourself' sort of sites that the recent deals are, are absolutely baffling me...can anyone help?
I need a computer for video/photo editing. Premiere pro and Photoshop. Lots of internet browsing, often all at the same time!
I was looking at 6 core minimum, 16-32GB Ram, 1TB-2TB SSD, wifi, with Windows 11 installed. - £700 budget
(I already have large external hard drive, monitor, keyboard, pen tablet etc)
By the time I tweak some of the options on the recent deal links, it then looks far less of a good deal because the options are a bit overwhelming and the price creeps right up! I've also never installed any hardware myself so something ready to go would be preferable lol
Can anyone point me to what I should be looking for? Thanks!

sorted byYou can get a bigger drive separately from Amazon M2 screw into motherboard. SSD take a SATA power cable from your PSU and you might need a sata data cable which is a couple of quid max if buying one from eBay.
But I think some of the sarden84 deals should have 1tb storage already. (edited)
I’m adding windows 11 as none of the builds come with an operating system included, and also the WiFi as it doesn’t state if it’s already included 🙈 basically I’m reading the options but it may aswell be in French I might be adding/paying for things it already has 🤷♀️ it’s then shooting up above my budget.
The Costco deal included everything above for £679 but I just didn’t have the funds when it dropped, and now it’s out of stock.
Just my luck!
Can put extra hard drive external storage into usb ports
