5* recommendation for UKGamingComputers.
byAdam Bailey
Posted on
I initially decided to upgrade to a PC following seeing Battlefield 3 in all it's glory on youtube. As a previous PC Gamer turned console user (5 years - due to Uni/laziness/commitments etc.) I decided it was time to get back into PC gaming.
However, I wanted something that could run anything flawlessly today and for alt east another 2 years or so.
I was unsure what to buy and emailed through, speaking to Daman. From the very start he was very helpful, guiding me as to what was needed and not to waste money on certain aspects. I had a fairly long chat with him on the phone and decided to go for the Cerberus PC with some upgrades.
I went for the standard model + extreme over clocking / Watercooler and an extra 8GB or RAM to ensure it would chew up anything I threw at it.
Unfortunately. the bank holiday got in the way and I had to wait for the PC a bit longer than expected (but still within the 3-5 working days PCGAMINGUK promised), but the wait was definitely worth it.
It arrived the very next day it was being shipped and was thoroughly protected...
I have attached the PC to a Philips 21:9 56 inch TV and have it playing at it's native resolution of 2560x1080. Even at such a strange resolution the GTX680 just plays things seamlessly.
Battlefield 3 I'm playing MP with every setting cranked to Ultra/AA set to max etc. and it averages between 85-120 FPS. I've also been playing Skyrim using 20GB worth of texture packages and lighting effects to get the most out of the game. It looks unbelievable and churns at a steady 60FPS (not higher due to Skyrim's hard-coded caps).
With the recent news of games like Max Payne 3 and it's insanely high recommended settings, I don't for one second doubt that the Cerberus will play it maxed without a hiccup. And with games like Crysis 3, GTA V, Assassins Creed 3, Metro 2 on the horizon I can't wait to see what this is capable of.
I cannot recommend this PC enough and the 1,750 was well warranted.
5* recommendation for the PC.

strongly recommend

I recently purchased a Cerberus with a number of small upgrades as it was important to me that it was quiet. I wasn't able to afford watercooling, but Damon was very helpful in balancing cost and noise reduction and responded promptly to my emails. The end result is an impressively quiet system - certainly quieter than my old Xbox 360.
Performance so far has been flawless - I am running Max Payne 3 on maximum settings using my 42" TV as a monitor (connected via HDMI which made set up very simple) and the frame rates are excellent.
Build quality looks good, and the machine is very nicely put together. Delivery was within the promised 10 working days, and I was kept up to date by email as the order went through.
Overall I am very impressed by the PC and the level of service provided by UKGC, and strongly recommend both.

Fantastic PC.
byAlexander Eagles

Customer service was really helpful with my questions. It took a few days longer than the indicated time to build but it's more than worth the wait. Completely flattens every game I throw at it, including Battlefield 3, Shogun 2, Sims 3 and Skyrim, all on the highest settings and all with at least 80fps.The SSD and monstrous processor means it does everything phenomenally quickly as well. Fantastic PC.

Had this gaming PC for around a month now, and I am very pleased with the quality. It came arrived well packaged and protected, and is performing excellently. Also pleased the guys went the extra mile in providing me with some case components I needed to add some hard drives of my own to the machine, after they were junked as they didn't know they were needed.

UKGC will be highly recommended to friends and family.
byDaniel Blackburn

I ordered this computer because I wanted to get into PC gaming after years of mainly playing on consoles. I also specialize in visual effects work and it was vital I needed a fast processor and good RAM. I was unsure at first about the graphics card because I had read reviews saying that gaming cards weren't very good for 3D work. So I gave rang them up and talked me through my custom build and reassured me of what to go for. The computer is rapid fast, looks very professional (Obsidian 650D) and I couldn't be more pleased.
I haven't played many games on it yet due to a busy couple of days working. But this weekend I will be installing some of my games and I am very confident that this machine will eat up anything that's thrown at it.
I had a fair few upgrades on the base model which meant I had to wait slightly longer due to a longer testing period. If I had the option again, I would have gone for the 3-5 day delivery because I had to wait just over 2 weeks for it to arrive and I can tell you, that was a long 2 weeks.
Overall great service, and UKGC will be highly recommended to friends and family.

This gaming pc is a bit of a brute.
byphillip graham

This gaming pc is a bit of a brute. I'm very pleased with the service from UKGC and the quick response to emails. I did have a small issue of a noisy fan on the PC but they did send me a replacement that I fitted myself so that got sorted. Be warned this PC is very big and heavy, I had a job to take it up 2 flights of stairs! I think its a good thing though because it allows for expansion and good air circulation. It is very fast and loads up windows in about 8 secs and it plays borderlands 2 with max. settings very smoothly. The only critism is I couldnt get the asus soundcard to work through my 5.1 speakers properly, no matter what connection I tried nothing came out of the sub or centre speaker so in the end I've had to use the onboard sound which works fine.

i have been thinking about a gaming pc for awhile,all the big company pc were lacking in one department or other and terrible customer service. especially one that has an alien in the title :).customer service is as important to me as buying from a reputable company.ukgc could not be more helpful especially daman on live chat with me constantly bugging him with questions so thanks guys
my pc is as described,very very fast, quiet and eats up any game i load up(inc far cry 3 on max settings good fps),im not very technical about the specs but im really impressed.i have been a console gamer for years but i can honestly say ukgc have converted me to the dark side.
thank you for getting the item made well within the time estimate and was kept informed all the way.came very well packaged,even though i was to impatient to wait until the following tues to pick up i drove up my self and collected it
finally thank you daman, charlie (who was especially helpful on the phone)and rest of the guys.
have a great christmas i no i will :)

I here add another glowing review for ukgc!
byNigel Cloutt
Posted on
Like many it took me a while to find and decide upon a custom pc specialist. I read many reviews and all seemed glowing about ukgc, I thought this cannot be right hardly any negative comments, but I took the risk and was proved wrong.
Ordering from the site was simple and made choosing my components easy, I did not have to scroll through lists of hundreds of different manufacturers or lots of different combinations. Starting with a base Cerberus extreme model I quickly tweaked the pc to how I wanted it.
After ordering I had a few queries about exactly what the pc could do (namely Bluetooth compatibility and future upgrade options) and within an hour had a reply from the Daman which answered all my questions fully.
I ordered just before the Christmas period so the delivery time was edging towards the longer end of the estimate, but it still arrived within it, incredibly well packed and clear instructions on how to get the pc set up.
Another part of the reason for choosing UKGC was the 3 year warranty, now i'm a tinkerer so decided not to place the sticker on the pc which activated the warranty but it does add comfort to know they are willing to offer that much guarantee and have confidence in their builds.
Having used the pc for a couple of days now it is a power house and eats everything I throw at it, and the build quality is superb and gives me plenty of room to upgrade in the future. I here add another glowing review for ukgc!

byAndrew Conden

Had this for about a month now and it is a monster, runs everything from Crysis to battlefield 3 on ultra settings, didn't realise games could look so good after being a console gamer all these years, would definitely recommend this if your in the hunt for a gaming pc
