I’m looking advice on a gaming pc. Used to playing consoles and wouldn’t know much about building a pc but I’m interested in getting a high end one. I seen one that was already configured called the vortex ultimate. I’m wondering if this is a good choice and whether it’s pre built and can be upgraded when needed. Also it mentions someone installing as well as delivering it. Is this needed too for someone new?
Monitor - Samsung neo g8, 4K, 240hz
Uses - gaming. Vr not necessary but would like to play games at higher settings.
Budget- 3-4000

Specs of the vortex ultimate:
  • CPU - Intel® Core™ i9-12900K
  • Motherboard- ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO WIFI
  • Memory- 32GB Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM 5600MH
  • Graphics card- 24GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090
  • SSD- 1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2
  • 2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA HDD
Power supply - Corsair 850w
Cable- uk cable
Processor cooling- corsair icue h100i
Standard thermal paste
Sound- onboard 6 channel
ASUS PCE network card

Also if there’s any advice on a keyboard and mouse.
Thank you

Thank you. Would that come built when it’s delivered? Also do they check the components are compatible, think I read about that on the website.

Yes to both, the configurator automatically checks most things when you're selecting components but if there's any issues you would be informed as (or immediately prior to) the PC is built and options discussed. The PC comes fully assembled and tested as configured.

When I got mine there was foam inside the pc. Opened it up very ez and took it out.

The people at dpd OPENED my package hoping to get a xbox series x.

No scratches everything brand new in it nothing touched so I left it 😂

Thanks for all the help.
Hahaha I remember when people were taking ps5/xbox out of their box and putting in Pepsi instead. Hopefully it won’t happen.
Just the keyboard and mouse to get
