AWD-IT remain one of the best shouts for getting a next-gen graphics card at a reasonable price, so I thought I’d share what I think is their best deal of the moment - their TD500 build, which combines a bleeding-edge Ryzen 5 5600X processor and RTX 3070 graphics card for a system that can handle 1080p, 1440p or even 4K gaming in AAA titles. It’s been discounted from £1500 to £1210, a reduction of £290 from its list price and a great deal for a machine of this calibre.

The CPU and GPU are an incredible combo, but the RAM is limited to 8GB (thankfully still in dual-channel mode) and the storage is just 240GB. I’d probably upgrade these myself using what’s in my current PC if I was changing to this one, but you can also pay a small amount to get a more standard 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD - an extra £41 gets you 16GB of Crucial 3200MHz CL16 RAM, while an extra £24 gets you a twice as big and much more than twice as fast Crucial P2 NVMe SSD. That brings the total to £1275, which feels reasonable to me.
Looking at PCPartPicker once again, we can put all these components into the system and see how much it would cost to assemble a like-for-like system yourself. With the case, motherboard, CPU, upgraded RAM, upgraded SSD and PSU,I got a sum of £683if you get every item from the cheapest possible retailer. That leaves £592 for the graphics card - to say nothing of the building, testing, shipping and three years of post-sale support. Given that the RTX 3070 is retailing for £700 to £1000 on Ebay right now, £592 for a 3070 and all that work of actually building a computer and sending it to you sounds pretty darn reasonable to me.

If it sounds reasonable to you too, then check out the deal link above. This will be a heck of a gaming PC, and all of the parts are off-the-shelf so you can upgrade as you please down the line - something that can’t always be said for PC makers like MSI, Dell or HP who tend to use proprietary cases, power supplies and motherboards.
