Pre built gaming PC

Sorry, I know this is the PC building forum but just looking for some advice.

I'm looking for a pre built gaming PC that will play all games at 1080p with no problems but the main games I'd play is Cities: Skyline, Planet coaster and games like that. I was going to get a laptop but I think I'd prefer a desktop.

I have no interest in building a PC myself though. I'm useless and even watching YouTube videos I'm none the wiser. I'll always be convinced I've done something wrong.

I'm just wondering is there any pre built PC out there that will do the job with a budget of E1200? I don't mind if it costs a few hundred more than building it myself. I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Thanks

Sorry if the wrong forum.

You'll find something that will crush those games and much more for about 5 or 600 on Adverts.

Anything with an i5/i7 or i3-8xxx or Ryzen as CPU and an RX470/80 or GTX1060 as graphics card will be perfect.

Those are the key words to look out for in the ad.

1200 would get you a top of the range PC but that is way beyond your needs if I'm reading your post right.

Thanks for the reply mate. Is there any known trust worthy sellers on adverts you could recommend?

Yeah if it's a lot cheaper than my budget that would be great. Any big games (GTA, COD etc) I'd just play on my Xbox tbh but games like Cities: skyline (or any sim city type game) and planter coaster I'd prefer to play with a keyboard and mouse. Football manager is another game but I think that's not too demanding.

Thanks again for the help.

A few of the regulars off here used tobuild nice rigs to sell on Adverts, may still do.

Looking on Adverts there and there is an awful lot of overpriced garbage. It's probably the Covid thing with everyone in and looking for PCs for home use.

This is good... if you get him down a bit.

This is fantastic but you'll have to add a graphics card for 200 approx

This is also fantastic... if it's only a PSU problem as he says
https://www.adverts.ie/20432140

This one should do you fine as well

Thanks mate, I appreciate the links. With Adverts though it would take someone with brilliant feedback to make me spend that much money. First link has no feedback, and 3rd link has 5 negative reviews out of 9 haha. Anything missing parts like the 2nd link with no graphics card would be a no go as well because I'd like the full package.

I'll take a look on the site and hopefully something will come up. I'll post specs back here if that's ok?

Thanks mate.

Yeah, at the money asked on Adverts at the mo, definitely go with one of these.

Way better upgrade path and new.

PSU that he has in that costs just £14. :pac:

idk maybe it's fine, but PSU is somewhere I want to spend money, not save it.

I bought a gaming computer from CCL at Christmas for my son.
It arrived damaged though I think it was the courier company, DPDs fault.
It's been a bit of a nightmare since with another problem where it kept crashing.
They've been quite decent to deal with, I think I may have been unlucky. Thankfully it's fine now.
You get a 3 year warranty with another company called Mendit who also seem genuine but it can be slow getting a repair done as they have to get the part from CCL.
Definitely check that the warranty works in ROI as I'm in UK.

I was flying thru adverts, nearly everything else is either rubbish or mad money.

But yeah, he says in the ad it doesn't post cos of the PSU so that makes sense, I'd be heading out with a decent PSU and watching it post before handing over any cash though.

Is he the guy with negative rep on Adverts? I wouldn't have even put it up if I noticed that, massive red flag

Thanks everyone for all the advice!

I hope I don't come across as an idiot but would anything off Argos do the job? - https://www.argos.ie/static/Browse/ID72/50000592/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice%2C+PCs+and+phones%7C14418968/c_2/2%7C14418968%7CComputers+and+monitors%7C50000565/c_3/3%7Ccat_50000565%7CDesktop+computers+and+all-in-ones%7C50000592.htm

I have a E100 voucher from Christmas so just making sure that (unlikely) anything would be good value with E100 off.

Cheers again.

No, wouldn't go near them. For 1200 there's better options on Adverts
