AWD-IT X= Air Mesh Ryzen 5 Six Core Radeon RX 6700XT 12GB Desktop PC for Gaming from £699.99 at AWD-IT

Hi Sarden

I just wanted to say thanks for the comprehensive message. I did read a few of your recent threads and someone was saying that you don't post deals... I just wanted to say that all I'm looking for is the best value bang for buck deal, which from what I can make out this is (when compared to the recent offers from Costco).

I think that if you had a sticky thread where you post latest deals that increment by £200, that would help people with budgets.

One Q I have is with regards to OS, what version of Windows is best for gaming as it seems that most builds don't come with a installed OS.

many thanks

use code: BBURGER for an £9.25 off.

Min specs

6Core 16GB will be great for his needs, the 5700X is an 8Core spec cpu, great for devs and has more future appeal should u wish to add a higher GPU later, however, it is still on the AM4 Platform, so when it comes to upgrades in 2 years time he might desire a full system upgrade, CPU+MB on to am5 which is out and will be even better in two years time, hopefully at better cost, but will be more widespread, so if that is the aim then having a 5700X now will be pointless unless ur getting the use out of the CPU, if he;'s doing any dev work, or if he plans to stream a higher core system will benefit this area but not always needed.

#5600 will still be workable even with a higher GPU laters, but the 5700X will have that more bite,
## upgrade to the gold psu, and higher wattage, is done, for that partial our full flip laters, to keep within 750w watt GPU's

same goes for the ram, 32GB on site, will help some games now, and as newer titles come out, more ram will be needed, so that could be a good investment to get now, and the cost gap is pretty low, only another 22 gap for the adata 32gb to 40 for the higher mhz ram.

optional on the wifi ive included

#Headset is also on a massive reduction if needed, not added.

and placed on a higher board,

hopefully this helps, (edited)

I agree

Though do upgrade the CPU/motherboard/SSD if your budget stretches to it - and I wish AWD-IT would offer PSU options other than Gigabyte on more of their builds - I agree with sarden84 on the 6650XT vs 6700XT, partly because the lesser 6650XT has only 8GB of VRAM, where the 6700XT has 12, which as Hardware Unboxed and others remind us, 'future proofs' you a bit with future games. Anyway, another HOT find.

Don’t worry about bottlenecking, it’s fine. I would personally upgrade to 1TB SSD and Ryzen 5 5600 though.

Lower CPU/GPU.

lets say if windows added to this (which im not suggestion to do so) +90
+35 1TB

Now we got it at 699+90+35=820
# which is the same price as that with windows/storage.

4500/3060 vs 5500/6700xt its a no brainer = 5500/6700XT

However, dont buy windows, do windows urself, exchange the 5500 -> 5600 at £50 and top up the board to B550M

if u desire windows and u desire an nvidia card:

AMD VELOCITY 5600x/3060Ti/16gb/600w/windows at £800.00
with the option of 12400F/b660 at £30 and option of TX550 Gold PSU at £25 = £855

much better windows/Nvidia system.
