Our youngest is off to Uni soon to study Computer Science. He's going to need a new PC for his studies / gaming and has been looking at his options. PC Specialist seem to be the place he wants to get one from but when I've spoken to them theres no discounts / promo codes available. Considering he'll be spending near enough £2k I was hoping there'd at least be a bit of negotiation to had

Anybody got any experience of companies that'll do a custom built PC? It'd need to be built & delivered within 3 weeks but I can collect it anywhere within an hour or 2 of Sheffield, Manchester or Derby etc.

Not tempted to DIY it if he knows what he wants already?

Ok, the savings aren’t huge but gives you more freedom with cosmetics and upgrade paths.

We decided against that option pretty quickly. If I had more time then I'd like to be a custom PC but also with it being for Uni work I didn't want to risk it. Son doesn't fancy doing it as he's never done stuff like that before either.
