I'm considering buying a prebuilt PC from PC Specialist for about £2700. Since I have no experience in building PCs and I'm not really keen on doing it myself, I would love some feedback on whether this setup is overkill or if it's a decent deal for the price. Here's the link to the build I'm looking at: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJDsNz. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, that setup is pretty overpriced. I found a similar one for under £1700. Plus, you don’t need to buy a Windows key at full price. You can snag one online for just a few pounds!
For £2700, that prebuilt setup seems excessive. The parts are marked up, especially the motherboard and the RTX 5070 Ti. If you swap a few components, you could build a strong rig for less than £2229 and maybe even upgrade to a 5080 without breaking the bank!
I get that I need to choose better parts, but I'm just unsure about brands and what would work well. I’d prefer to have someone help me with that since I don't know much about PC building!
