PC Specialist’s Vortex 2500 is one of the prettiest, most powerful, and yet most frustrating Intel Skylake-X PCs around. It’s housed in a beautifully lit Corsair chassis, can chew through games and productivity tasks without breaking a sweat, but needs too much tweaking out of the box to get the most out of the hardware on show.

You need a great screen to make the most of your rig, so check out our pick of the best gaming monitors.

And that’s what you pay the big bucks for, right? That’s why you go to a system builder to create your rig rather than piecing it together yourself on the kitchen table. You want someone reliable to go through the whole fiddly process so you can just unbox it the other end and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
