Best place to buy a PC online
Looking to replace an ancient Win7 PC used by my mum.
She mainly uses Photoshop and other photo-tweakery tools, needs a graphics card that supports multiple monitors and has fast local storage. Would anyone have recommendations as to where to purchase such stuff? TIA Mark |
I've been using www.ebuyer.com quite a lot
Here's some with SSD https://www.ebuyer.com/store/Compute...-PC?a06201=SSD |
I always used scan.co.uk
|
Been using eBuyer at work and home for years. Can't fault them at all with supply or customer support.
|
If you spec one up using scan/ ebuyer, Ive found local PC shops will try damn hard to match it and the price, I dont mind paying a little extra over scan / ebuyer as it is local, and if there were any issues its a lot easier to get sorted, and quicker.

Thanks, guys. I'll have a look at ebuyer and scan. The local PC shop supplied her current PC and it's not been a great experience, TBH.
|
www.pcspecialist.co.uk is one of the best for retail prices, ebuyer and scan aren't as competitive.
Chillblast.com are good too but expensive. |
Dunno what your budget is but I knocked up a rig from PCS that I would use for pshop, probably slight overkill. This is using the latest coffee lake core i5 cpu, overclocked. You can make it a lot cheaper obviously with lower spec mobo, ram an SSD instead of a m.2 ssd etc etc

self build or prebuilt?

Thanks, everyone.
Ended up sourcing a pre-built PC from Scan plus a memory upgrade from Crucial. Here's the spec About 830GBP, all in |
I know it's late on this thread but for anyone else looking Hotukdeals is the best place to look in the computing section as all deals with the best prices people have found will be listed there and some bargains to be had at times.
