New gaming PC sub €1500

MarVeL

Looking at going to a new PC for some fairly basic gaming at the moment and budgeting up to €1500. The last PC was bought about 5 years ago and is showing its age on some of the newer games (mostly strategy stuff so not yet totally out of it). Looking over the current market was thinking a spec something like: i5 12400, RTX 3060Ti, 16 or 32 GB RAM with 1 1TB NVME should do me for a few years. Been looking at parts vs a prebuilt as I haven't built out a desktop in about a decade and I don't fancy ordering from multiple suppliers.

Came across this spec on Amazon.co.uk for €1474:

but don't know the company at all. Done some basic research and they look ok but does anyone here have any experience with this company or thoughts on this spec?

Vibox seems to be a real company alright. I'd get the Kolink Observatory Mesh if buying pre-built though, for better thermals & lower noise (since fans don't need to run as fast).

But you get much better performance by using AMD CPU and self-building.

This build would be about 50% faster than the Vibox.

Thanks for that suggestion, looks good alright. I'll see can I pull something together from a single supplier based off it. Have too much fun at work being stuck between suppliers to live with that at home :)

A small bit over budget but not hugely. Any gotchas or things which could be improved in there?
