    Hi Guys, I am looking for recommendations for a prebuilt machine, cant be arsed putting one together myself, Scan.co.uk have a few, Ryzen seems to be the way to go with CPU's so I might consider ditching Intel.

    CPU: Ryzen 3600/3600XT/3700X
    GPU: AMD RX 5700/5700XT or RTX 2060 Super/2070 Super
    16Gb 3200MHz+ RAM
    1Tb SSD NVMe

    I'd say, try spend around €1500-1600.
    Then when the new GPUs release in September/October, use the extra money to upgrade (if desired).

    Agreed. Spec you recommend can currently be had for about €1100 via https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/p300-air-gaming-pc-ryzen-3600-asus-b550-5700xt-anniversary-16gb-3600-mhz-ram-256gb-sx8200-pro-79995-1tb-hdd-83598-at-awd-it-3486893

    €1100 includes changing the base spec to a WiFi motherboard, 1TB SSD and Windows.

    CPU upgrades on offer also worthwhile - even have the elusive 3900, which is some bang for the buck, although overkill for current gaming.

    However, checking review sites, AWD seem to have had some issues recently, so if this is attractive, go into it with your eyes open and check everything thoroughly on receipt. And pay by PayPal for added protection (but pay in GBP, don't accept PayPal's currency exchange offer.).
