Ryzen 5600X - RTX 4070 - 16GB - Starting with 480GB (+17 1TB) - A520(b550 +37) Gaming System from £940.49 with code at AWD-IT

Sadly, I had a similar problem with AWD. When the PC first arrived the GPU was dead, got a replacement about two weeks later, and a week after that the CPU's AIO cooler started failing.
On closer inspection, I noticed that half of the cooler's fasteners weren't properly installed with one not making any contact with the case.

With spending almost £2k on the system I expect it to be built competently, and/or tested before leaving the shop.

Some people seem to have a great experience with them but not in my case. Refunding my PC but will buy elsewhere.

Shows how little you know. The 5600x is fine and is still very much in production.

The base unit for £940+17 1TB offers a very good standard.

The A520 is limited in many regards, not 4.0 but we aint missing that much and this MSI one is really good, can even take a 5700X no problems.

if u wanted bluetooth, 4.0 wifi, higher VM board then +50 then that can take higher 5000Series cpu now or later.

going for the higher psu, offers even futher longlivity, in regards to qualty control and boost control, so u can go higher into another gpu laters, this gen highs or next gen highs.

- u can pitch them for 850w too.

cpu: 8Core spec, more games down the line, this will help so 5700X and obvious if ur streaming, production, multi doing anything this helps.

cooler top up offers longivity on parts, so the entry 3rd party cooler to the next one up for the 5800X3d

todays 8core are tomorrows 6cores, a 5800X3D battles Ryzen 7600...

if u do go to far on this line then it maybe worth kicking of with: Xhantek Series Range
that opens at £1299.99(select 32gb ram) vs £950 Here +170 5800X3d

= £180 Gap, (35 PSU, 50, board jump, 35 32GB Ram jump inc) so £60* more gets u onto the 7000series *based on takening them elements. (edited)

That is correct, it does not have o/s activated.

some system builders have a agreement with microsoft that once tested with windows it needs to be stirpped down and removed if its not bought with.

I.E Stormforce/CCL/Box/chiliblast.

the ones that dont; can leave it on or can remove it.

i.e AWD-IT / Palicomp.

and i know one of them remove, so it doesnt overshaddow their "management package" that inc windows, which many have done some nicely pitch for a twisted deas, and the other well the first one well we can just buy a code, (they dont suggest or support that, but they cant stop us). (edited)

£950 Link Vs £900 Link.

- "BBURGER" can be used on both.
-Storage edits need to apply to both.
- Start of with the same ram.

5600X/4070 Vs 5600/6800 is the battle, plenty of videos what the non x means under, what the x gives, also what 6800 does and doesnt do against say a RTX3080 and then what a rTX4070 offers against a 3080

so in repect of all that; research is key on them elements with the video reviews is my suggestion.


Back to the prebuilt:


5600/6800 is £50 Less on the opening price.

Lets look at the other parts.

The board in repect is a DS3H AX(AX means wifi for giga) which is as equal to the +50 upgrade MSI VDH WIFI on the 4070

Your also have the Higher PSU on the 6800 (£35)
You also have the better case (£35 last time i looked ish via phone call.)
50+35+35=120

So You got £120 worth in cash terms of parts, and a less cost of £50
So thats £170..........

We need to remove -£30 from the drop of X to non X. = £140

a £560 RTX4070 Vs a £425 is as close to that ur going to get.

now a little more in depth, the current card on the rtx4070 is a palit, so decent but budget.
the 6800 is actual the msi one, and its not an msi one its the bleeding msi of msi its MSI Gaming Z current on the market at £500 (£70 more then ur cheap ones), awd would of had a support in respect of giving u this then £500 so dont worry about that to much, just means that one day soon enough self builds can take it for £430 if they overrun and have enough overwise it wont and it become obsolete dissapear,

so in hindsight u are getting bettter parts on the 6800 in all fields, and not that much drop in overall performance.

but its not nvidia and it will never be nvidia and this one will out sell that one so much more, such a shame, so take on board the advancement areas ive mentied, and then go and look at the two compares on the cpu and on the gpu against the other, (edited)

If u aint bottling somewhere mate u are doing it wrong, throwing money on fire. u got to bottle somewhere to enjoy the value,

so they go T/o/A in respect of it, however that storm force one isnt friendly.
- they have some good ones though, that hit the mark.

is ur budget around the 1k mark a take it?
