Buyer's Handbook

Buying & Building Advice for the United Kingdom

UK Consumer Rights Act & 3-Pin Plug

Under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, hardware purchases come with statutory protection and 30-day return rights. Ensure power supplies and cabinets include a certified BS 1363 UK 3-pin fused plug. All estimates include 20% UK VAT.

Power & Surge Protection

UK domestic 230V/50Hz supply runs smoothly with standard 80 PLUS power supplies. Use a quality surge-protected extension strip (e.g. Belkin or Masterplug) to protect against grid transients.

Recommended Monitor Pairing

A great 1440p setup: pair with a 27" 1440p 165Hz IPS gaming monitor with DisplayPort 1.4.

Future Upgrade Path

Plenty of thermal headroom and motherboard expansion slots allow simple RAM and storage expansion in future years.

PC build under £1,500: questions

Can you build a good PC under £1,500 today?

Yes. This list comes to about £1,500 with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB graphics card: smooth 1440p gaming at high settings.

Are these the final prices?

No. They are estimates from recent store listings and exchange rates (updated 2026-10-30), not live prices. Prices change every day and differ by shop and city, so press a store button to see today's price before you buy.

Can I change a part?

Yes. "Customize this build" opens the whole list in our PC builder, where you can swap any part. It checks that the socket, memory type, case size and power supply still fit.

Does the price include a monitor, keyboard and Windows?

No. It covers the PC itself: processor, motherboard, memory, storage, power supply, cabinet and, where the budget allows, the graphics card and cooler. Budget extra for a monitor, keyboard, mouse and a Windows licence.

Is it cheaper than a prebuilt PC?

Usually, and you know exactly which parts you get. Prebuilt PCs at the same price often save money on the power supply, motherboard or memory speed. Building it yourself takes a couple of hours; our step-by-step guide shows how.
