The Achilles i5, I decided to up the spec to include an uprated power supply unit, cpu cooler, extra RAM, a 500gb SSD uprated GPU and uprated, quieter fans, this machine is so much more than i expected, boots up incredibly quickly (thank you SSD) and is quiet as a whisper even when put under a graphics heavy work out. The PC arrived when specified, despite the delays caused by the corona-virus pandemic, and has given me a machine capable of both gaming and working from home when required. My PC is future proof for the next few years and has clear upgrade paths available left to me,
I first bought a PC from UKGC in 2011 and I can't believe how good these guys have been - any query dealt with promptly and efficiently, patience beyond belief in an industry that is so fast paced. In fact this is my third PC from UKGC, my son has also bought one and a work colleague has placed an order thanks to my reccomendation of UKGC as a custom PC builder that competes on all counts of reliability, quality, customer service and price.
Will I buy from then again? of course I will !

6 Years of Goodness
byKevlar

Got a full 6 years out of my rig before I even had to consider an upgrade (purchased 2013)... Bearing in mind the current system still annihalates Witcher 3 / Doom 2016 on max settings at 1440p without breaking a sweat. Service was amazing and so was the build quality; not a single issue in those years, and the team were incredibly helpful when i mentioned i was considering a new system. Cant say enough good things about UKGC.

Excellent Machine

A friend recommended UKGC to me as I was looking to get a new gaming PC after having my previous build for 6 years. I usually build my own, but after seeing the value here the small extra cost was more than worth it for the sake of warranty and convenience. UKGC communicated well throughout the process, stuck to their estimated time and the machine I've received is incredibly well put together - cables are managed nicely, the fans are quiet and everything worked as expected right out of the box (I also added an operating system, which UKGC installed and updated as part of the build process). If you're used to building your own PC I'd highly recommend pricing up your parts and comparing to machines on here - the markup more than covers the peace of mind and 6 year warranty.

A great gaming pc for a great price, should have excluded the VAT to make the pricing happier.

I would highly recommend UKGC
byPaula Moore

Thank you UKGC!
After much deliberation deciding to build my own PCs or purchase them, I decided to purchase them from UKGC. I was not disappointed with any of the straightforward steps to completing my purchases as well as the friendly support which kept me up to date with all stages of my computers build. The delivery came extremely quick after an email was sent informing me of my several options in which to choose from which best suits me so I can be at home when the computers arrive.
The computer itself is superb, which is what I expected since both computers have relatively high-end parts. One thing which stood out is the actual build itself. The wiring is extremely well managed, and is very neat from both the computers I ordered.
I would highly recommend UKGC to anyone looking for a well-built gaming PC. I was very impressed and somewhat shocked about how well UKGC kept me informed with all stages of their build, how well the computer itself was built, the speed of the delivery and the straightforward steps to attaching the warranty sticker to the computer.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from UKGC again
byCLIVE D HOOPER

From start to finish I was impressed with the order processing, I was kept informed at each stage. The machine is a dream and runs all my games on highest settings. Also, music production software can be run at a much lower latency and I can have many more instances of instruments. I upgraded to SSHD and I am amazed with quick bootup. The build quality is exceptional with the wiring being very neat and tidy. The Antec 1200 case is so quiet, you can hardly here the fans on there low setting which is giving me 25 C on idle and 62 C when stress testing with Prime95. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from UKGC again and would recommend them to anyone wishing to acquire a top quality machine.

Fantastic system, runs smoothly and quickly with all programs that I need. The service from UKGC was superb too. From the very early stages of my order to the final delivery, everything was clear and self-explanatory to make the order process as easy as possible. I will defiantly recommend UKGC to my friends/family when its time for them to upgrade! Thanks again guys, very impressed.

5 out of 5.

After the disappointment of next gen console reveals, the time is NOW to jump on the PC badwagon. And i have not been let down by what I paid for.
GTX 670, 8GB Ram, i5-3570k... Easily handles starcraft II on Ultra, with 130FPS. For someone who console gamed their entire life that is simply ridiculous. Couldnt be happier with the results.
The only point ill really press on is this - get the priority build status... The wait was near unbearable by the time my rig was ready to ship.
UKGC have met an exceeded my hopes and expectations. Now i can simply sit back and smile as i look at the 2 new 'next gen' consoles, and know I still have the edge of them.
5 out of 5.

Well what can I say. This is the greatest thing I've ever purchased. Forget next gen consoles this PC is the way forward. An amazing piece of equipment and what can I say about UK Gaming Computers, possibly the greatest customer service, with a quick build and amazing updates which kept me excited until the day it arrived. If you want to buy a PC from anywhere then it should be from here...thank you and good night!!!

very happy with this set up.

Since early this year I was interested in upgading my incredibly outdated PC. This would be the first high-end PC that I would have owned and I wasn't confident in buying parts and building one myself so I looked up a few sites that offer this service and checked out the options they gave me.
I eventually settled with ukgamingcomputers for a few reasons. Over the past few months I have been e-mailing them back and forth with questions about parts and what would be best for this and that etc. I was surprised at the fast replies I got back with helpful information, I was also researching and learning about what I feel is best for me during the time up until purchase. During this time before I settled on the build I wanted I discovered another reason to stick with buying from these guys, the flexability, I wasn't too keen on the options available so I just asked via e-mail about adding in these parts instead of this and that and to my surprise again I was able to build what I wanted and not just select from the current listed specs.
The only problem I encountered was when they temporarily updated the site options and included my specific parts. I felt a sense of urgency and somewhat rushed selecting the parts and purchasing the system. After the purchase they realised that the prices were off on a couple of items that they added for me, so before they started on my system we had to sort this out and we did. Even though I was content selecting my parts quickly for them and made no mistakes during purchase, I feel that this could have been handled with more clarity and less stress. You don't want to purchase a system and think you got a good deal then you realise they made a slight error on pricing. They also informed me of this not being the ideal way that they would have gone about this type of custom build, so I'm glad that they know this and have another way of doing this type of customisation.
When this made it to my doorstep and I got it all hooked up, running and tweaked a few things to my liking, I felt content and very happy with this set up. I'll thank them again for putting up with my numerious e-mails during the time leading upto my purchase, lol.
The system I selected and customised started as the Achilles - High Spec i5 Gaming PC on their site. The parts I chose to change specifically were the GPU manufacturer type, the CPU Cooler, the SSD manufacturer.
