PC Specialist (Curry’s Nexa 950)
So I posted about a year ago on some PC from Costco for £2,200 (intel i9 14900kf, rtx5080, 32gb ram). Didn’t quite need it at the time.
However a year later, I took a plunge and ordered a prebuilt from Curry’s, but made by PC Specialist in the UK.
Currently branded as a Nexa 950 on curry’s website. But made and shipped by PC Specialist.
Spec list:
- Case
CORSAIR 3500X ARGB TEMPERED GLASS MID-TOWER
- Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core CPU (Up to 5.2GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)
- Processor Cooling
PCS FrostFlow 240 Series ARGB High Performance Liquid Cooler
- Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, M.2 PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7)
- Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (2 x 16GB)
- Graphics Card
16GB ASUS PRIME GEFORCE RTX 5070 Ti OC - HDMI, 3 x DP
- 1st M.2 SSD Drive
2TB CRUCIAL P310 GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7100MB/sR, 6000MB/sW)
- Power Supply
INTEGRATED CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES™ (3500X PCS CUSTOM SKU)
Currently listed at £2499.
Ended up costing me a little over £2130 GBP through the use of a 10% staff discount code, and then £113 gift card obtained by way of a points based system at work (so free to me).
I then rescued 1tb of storage before I even switched it on from my almost 6 year old Alienware Area 51m r2 laptop (i9 10900k desktop, 32gb ram, RTX2080 super -200w so about 50w lower than a true desktop 2080).
Compared to pcpartpicker and scan, it comes out around £4-500 less than just buying the parts. Even PCspecialist are coming out at around £2700 for the same spec, so I think I ended up with a good deal.
Thoughts?
