    I think you should self build. I cannot see what MB or PSU they are using. If you choose the Ryzen build then upgrade to the 3700X for small money and it is a much better CPU. Minus the operating system as you can install that yourself save over £100 and minus the anti-virus small saving plus minus bloatware installed on comp. One good thing about the Ryzen build is the RAM, 3600MHz with really tight timings for that speed, CL16.

    You can see the MB & PSU if you click on configure

    I cannot see them listed under configure but I see the MB listed alright if I scroll further down the page. I still think a self build would be better.

    Before Kiki comes with pcpartpicker list, I can say the same as wotzgoingon. Selfbuild will give You better value, just quick go thru uk.pcpartpicker with decent case and almost the same parts: 1100£ and I wasnt picking the best value/performance parts. For example Psu, 1000w? What for? The 550/650w is enough and hits the sweat spot of psu efficiency.

    The Ryzen one is much better if you upgrade to the 3700X for £30 extra and it's a very good PC. You can also not include windows for £110 of a reduction and install it yourself for free, works forever without activation these days. It seems pretty good value in general to be fair.

    The Intel one is bad value don't buy that one.
