I was just after some advice, on what are the best components to buy, as I can see there is a code for Ebuyerat the moment for video cards, so a good time to buy. I have listed the parts I already have, and the parts in my very novice opinion will be good/offer value for money.
Please could you let me know of any changes that you would make. I would massively be appreciated.
I have a budget of around £800-£900 remaining and the machine will be for gaming. From my understanding I need the following components:
- CPU
- CPU Cooler
- Motherboard
- Video Card
- Case
I am a complete novice, but was thinking of this:

\"DDR4 System cos u got the ram\"
would be to drop that 6750XT and crack in the 6800 that is on here at £369.99
if we are doing 12700K: drop the cooler increase the board spec."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50906519","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarden84"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T12:29:09.000Z","text":"uk.pcpartpicker.com/lis…BbL
still keeping to a \"cosmetic\" white theme AIO, as obvious that has caught ur attention, if not we can work other ideas.
This means boosting in cashflow to the board spec from matx to a ATX with better VRMS, then exchanging the 6750XT to 6800 that is on offer.
thats my suggestion on the 12700K, Qs now is, is the 12700K the most suited for u?.
Whats the intention of the system."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50906425","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bozo007"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T12:14:25.000Z","text":"Paging "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50907108","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarden84"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T14:25:49.000Z","text":"Any movement on the Monitor, its not bad for less 100 quid.
\"were doing a system thats kicking the ten tons out of that monitor here\".. can u do a U/Turn on that?
Becuase its a Gaming Rig, Spend another £100 on the monitor, drop the CPU down a £100. 13400F"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50906533","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"allsa001"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T12:32:12.000Z","text":"Thanks everyone,
So the computer will be for my 13 year old, and used primarily for gaming.
He will also use it for homework, but that requires very little processing power, mauinly just google and youtube.
I have no preference for the 12700K, it was just one that I had saw on another build on PCPart Picker.
The only parts which I do have a preference for are the parts that I have alsready purchased, anything else is open season.
Oh, no real preferecen on cosmetics either, he would like a bit of RGB, but happy to forgo that if needed."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50906615","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"allsa001"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T12:45:19.000Z","text":"So with the purchased parts, and the 6800 ordered.

Went with the i7-13700K, and kept the motherboard and cooler which @Sarden84 added to the partpicker.
Should I pull the trigger and buy these components: CPU, CPU Cooler, Motherboard and Case?
Many Thanks"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50907295","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SoloKingxRobert"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T15:02:35.000Z","text":"For the GPU I would get GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6 since it has better Specs for £329.49 from Amazon.
