Total Self Build Price (approximately) £1663.55
Building it yourself could work out at £211.45 cheaper, at current sale prices. That could be around £150 cheaper without the deals. Of course, with DinoPC, you get a full system warranty for 5-years, 30 days money-back guarantee, and their amazing UK support team. On top of that, they build the PC, configure the hardware and software setup for you, and provide their overclocking setup too. They also offer a price match promise, free delivery, and bring their 11+ years of market experience. That’s a hell of a lot of peace of mind for a little extra cash. Plus, it means you can simply open the box, plug it in, and get right to installing your games; easy!
Remember you can configure the product too. If you tweak it to a black H100i rather than the white one, it’s £24.04 cheaper. You can save £103.86 without the OS installation too if you already have a key. Plus you can save another £85.86 without the keyboard and mouse bundle. Play around the configurator and price up your own build here!
Honestly, I find no fault with this system at all. I think the strongest thing it has going is how damn good it looks. The white Corsair Crystal Series 280X RGB is by far one of my all-time favourites. Mixing that with the white Corsair AIO does cost a little more, but honestly, it really helps complete the visuals of this build. Not to dismiss the performance of the components they chose either. The 280X has superb airflow and that AIO does a great job of taming the fantastic AMD Ryzen 3800X at overclocked speeds.
I’ll admit, I don’t think you need to overclock the 3800X, it’s pretty happy left on auto, especially with a big cooler installed on it. Regardless, the performance is hardly lacking here. They chose one of the best AMD 5700 XT graphics cards out there, and it’s a good pairing for those wanting high-frame-rate 1080p and 1440p game, without compromising on quality. Triple digital FPS are easily attained with this setup. Of course, at this price, you should hope so. This is a high-end gaming system and it does exactly what you ordered.
The PC is no slouch outside of gaming though. The combination of a slick M.2 drive for those ultra-fast loading times is welcome. Plus, it’s backed up with some mass storage for everything else. Personally, I would pay a little more for a bigger M.2 or a second SSD in here, but that’s just me. Each to their own! The 3800X is a great CPU though, it’ll render videos all day, and works great for streamers and other multi-core demanding tasks. Plus, the overclocked CPU means that it’ll deliver great gaming performance at the end of a day’s work.
I know there are people who scream “Uh, I can build my own K thx bye” and that’s fantastic, go do it! However, don’t dismiss the work from DinoPC. They guarantee components will be compatible, plus they do a fantastic job of building the system.
Not everyone has the experience to build a really good looking PC. Then there’s those who are too busy to source all the components, deal with the multiple deliveries of that, then put it all together and set it up. With a pre-built, you take one delivery, plug it in and get playing. Plus, with their support team and warranty on the whole system, you have that extra peace of mind.
I think they’re right on the money with this PC, although I’d likely ditch their keyboard and mouse bundle in the configurator as it’s a little overpriced. Beyond that, I highly recommend this system, it’s just a shame they want it back when I’m done, ha!
