Have a look at all of Scan UK’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals here.

CPUs

Every PC needs a CPU, and as time marches on software has become increasingly core-heavy. The good news is that CPUs with six cores are now available for under £100, and strong gaming processors are available at very reasonable prices.  

AM4 Ryzen

For AM4, AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors are available for lower prices than ever before, making now a great time it upgrade an aging AM4 system or to create a low-budget gaming PC with an affordable AM4 motherboard. 

Even after the release of AMD’s AM5 platform and Intel’s Raptor Lake processors, AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains a strong contender within the gaming market. While its single-threaded performance is not chart-topping today, its additional L3 cache allows it to Blitz though some gaming workloads, with games like Factorio, Stellaris and many others seeing huge benefits.

– AMD Ryzen 5 4500 Zen 2 6-core 12-Thread CPU – £79.98

– AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Zen 3 6-core 12-Thread CPU – £139.98

– AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Zen 3 6-core 12-Thread CPU – £169.98

– AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Zen 3 8-core 16-Thread CPU – £209.99 

– AMD Ryzen 9 5900 Zen 3 12-core 24-Thread CPU – £349.98

– AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Zen 3 8-core 16-Thread CPU – £354.98

AM5 Ryzen

AMD’s AM5 series processors have recently had their prices slashed at UK retailers, making AMD’s new Zen 4 processors a lot more appealing than they once were. That said, these new processors require new motherboards and DDR5 memory to function, both of which are expensive. 

– AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Zen 4 6-core-12-thread CPU – £265.98

– AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Zen 4 8-core-16-thread CPU – £365.78

– AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Zen 4 12-core-24-thread CPU – £479.99

– AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Zen 4 16-core-32-thread CPU – £599.99

LGA 1700 Intel Core

When looking at these Intel offers below, all we can say is that most consumers are likely better off buying a Raptor Lake CPU over its Alder Lake counterparts at these prices. An i7-13700K is the same price as a i9-12900K, and the i7-13700K has the same core/thread count, higher boost clock speeds, and larger caches. 

Moving down to i5 K-series processors, Intel’s new Raptor Lake models feature more E-cores, higher clock speeds and a higher levels of multi-threaded performance. For £30 more, the i5-13600K is a solid step up from the i5-12600K.  

– Intel Core i5 12600K 10-core 16-Thread Alder Lake CPU – £299.99

– Intel Core i5 13600KF 14-core 20-Thread Raptor Lake CPU – £309.98

– Intel Core i5 13600K 14-core 20-Thread Raptor Lake CPU – £329.99

– Intel Core i7 12700KF 12-core 20-Thread Alder Lake CPU – £339.98

– Intel Core i9 12900K 16-core 24-Thread Alder Lake CPU – £449.99

– Intel Core i7 13700K 16-core 24-Thread Raptor Lake CPU – £449.99

– Intel Core i9 12900KS 16-core 24-Thread Alder Lake CPU – £479.99

 

Motherboards 

For socket AM4, most buyers will want a motherboard that is affordable. Following the launch of AM5, AMD’s AM4 socket has been moved into the budget end of the PC spectrum, and in this area of the market value for money is king. An affordable B-series AMD motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600 would give PC builders the trappings of a great budget gaming system.  

AMD AM4

– ASUS Prime B450M-A II Motherboard – £83.99

– MSI B550 Gaming Gen3 Motherboard – £109.99

– ASUS Prime B550M-A Wi-Fi II PCIe 4.0 motherboard – £114.98

AMD AM5

– ASRock AMD B650 PG Lightning DDR5 Motherboard – £199.99 

On the Intel side of things, it is hard to argue with the value proposition offered by an affordable B-series LGA 1700 motherboard, a decent DDR4 memory kit and an i5-class Raptor Lake series processor. This is a solid setup for gaming, and for creative tasks. This kind of system is a lot less expensive than an equivalent AM5 system, thanks to the high cost of DDR5 memory and AM5 series motherboards.

Intel LGA 1700  

– ASUS Prime B660M-K D4 DDR4 motherboard – £99.98

– Gigabyte B660 Gaming X DDr5 motherboard – £131.99

– MSI PRO 690-A DDR4 Motherboard – £179.99

– MSI Z690-A Wi-Fi DDR4 Motherboard – £189.98

– ASUS Prime 690-P WiFi D4 DDR4 Motherboard – £209.99

– ASRock Z790 PG Riptide DDR5 Motherboard – £229.99

PC Cases

There are so many PC cases on the market that choosing a new chassis for your system can be a difficult task. Here are some of the offers from Scan that caught our eye, with the NZXT H1 being of particular interest given its inclusion of a PSU and an AIO liquid cooler (don’t worry, models for sale today don;t have any design flaws).
