    Recommendations for Ryzen 5 1600 rig

    I posted something against the 1600 vs 7600 thread previously - in hindsight, ought to have posted here. Any recommendations for a decent brand and build for a Ryzen gaming set up. I'm not a hard core gamer, more after something as a day to day PC, with decent performance at 1080p that will replace my ageing self-build, which is beginning to creak and groan.

    Thanks in advance

    Scan? They've got some of their support handled through this forum, so if it goes wrong at least there's someone convenient to moan at

    Re: Recommendations for Ryzen 5 1600 rig

    Thanks - I should have started with Scan I guess. Just configured a "Pyro Reactor" model from Wired2Fire. Upgrading to Ryzen 5 1600 and downgrading the GPU to a 570 - it comes out at just short of £1100 with 16gb memory, Win 10 included, SSD and HD and 3 yr RtB warranty. Are there much better deals or brands out there? Will try Scan myself next. Thanks

    ** Edit: configuring a Scan Custom built gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 and an 8GB Asus Radeon RX 580 STRIX OC to more or less the same spec as above worked out at about £99 more, although a better warranty comes as standard by the looks of it.

    Well I've never used these sellers but both have been around a while. Maybe worth looking into?

    Chillblast, and Yoyotech (hit customise in the bottom right and set it out how you like it). Might edit this post with more later if I can remember them.

    I've never used them but CyberPower might be worth looking at. They've offered a few systems as prizes in the competitions here lately.

    Thanks all - CyberPower do indeed look to offer a decent bundle for a similar price to my other configs, but with some additional fans and noise reduction built into the mix. Good call, thanks.

    I would have a looked at Overclockers UK too. Also make sure you get a bundle with decent speed RAM too.
