Under £400 for a desktop with a dedicated graphics card - ideal for light gaming. I did a quick check of the parts cost and it was over £400 excluding the copy of Windows 11.

CPU has an aftermarket tower cooler and the motherboard has an additional RAM slot. I would add another 8GB of 3200MHZ DDR4 which is cheap. The SSD is probably a Solidigm P41 Plus.

Not a good deal at all this!

Why would you say that? It's absolutely fine for light gaming even if the graphics card is outdated, some games will look fine and would be playable. Would need to add an extra 8gb ram but apart from that, seems a steal at that price!

CEX prices - GTX 1650 - £85
i3 12100F - £75
SSD - £30
RAM - £13
Motherboard from AWD - £80
I don't know how good the PSU is in the Currys one but let's say £50 for PSU and case. Amazon cheapy special. The 1650 doesn't require additional power so it's fine.
£20 - wifi card

£363

By that rationale, it seems alright. Although it's massively outdated.

A lot of PCSPECIALIST systems use Corsair CV series PSUs,but couldn't find if this one did. There is also a tower cooler and copy of Windows 11 also. So at least it is cheaper to buy than to build!

Decent!

it's missing the keyboard/monitor setup from the Amazon one I posted, but even if it didn't have that it would have been posted because of how difficult the prebuilt market is at this low end.

Yes I can do the usual 5600G, that gets mentioned by everyone and count it as a 5500 and add on a GPU RX570 great that would surpass this; but not everyone wants to get inside a PC.

The intel 12100F is i3 beast.

Its got windows, for a retail shop, build very good find.... you could do alot worse!.

A shame those cheap Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs are sold out!

The previous computer I owned was a PCSPECIALIST model. Unfortunately, the RAM and hard drive gave out within the first year, and the motherboard ceased to function after two years. Interestingly, a friend of mine who purchased a PCSPECIALIST computer around the same time experienced a hard drive failure just a week into use.

Is this any good as a plex server ? I currently have a i7 6700 with a nvidia 1080 card as my plex server - but it's eating up electricity as left on 24/7.

Limited storage and a stand alone graphics card are not the right mix.
