September 30, 20241 yr I've always built my own PC's and for my son and friends. But my son is now in the market for a new PC and I can't build it for him as I now live in a different country and shipping costs would be extreme. So who is regarded as the best UK based company these days. Would appreciate your recommendations. 🙂
September 30, 20241 yr I used PCspecialist to build mine 2 years ago. The website is easy to use and staff are at hand If you need any help. I started with one of their pre-built options and modified it for what I needed and to fit my budget. You can also start from scratch and select your own parts right from the start. I received updates all the way through the process and some recommendations from the builder. The process took just under 2 weeks. I had a couple tech issues at first, but the support was amazing and got me up and running in no time.

Anyway, my son has decided to leave it a few weeks till he gets paid and has more dosh. I think I've configured a decent PC on Cyberpower, good price. I will try Chillblast, though.

I lost confidence in Scan a few years ago when I had an issue with them, returning a damaged monitor. I will check them out, though.
