Be aware that the Terms & Conditions say that....

7.9 We reserve the right to suspend the warranty or refuse service if your Case, Motherboard, CPU or BIOS have been replaced without authorisation.
Any tampering, repair or modification by unauthorised personnel voids the warranty.

Having someone else just install Windows for you should be fine IMO, as long as it's a genuine and properly licensed copy of Windows (check that it is), but don't let anyone else do anything to your hardware or BIOS.

hi! i’m planning on buying this pc today, but i’m kinda worried about the airflow as it’s not that good but i’m really looking to get a white case. i’m not looking to play many games, mainly minecraft and a few others, and streaming minecraft. i’ve been streaming on an i3 laptop which can’t handle 2 windows open at the same time ahaha but it’s been doing the job.

also, can i stick to the standard cpu cooler? and is this the right amount of fans? i really don’t want it to overheat.

i’d really appreciate it if someone could check this spec for me, as it’s my first time buying a pc

my budget is below £900, as it is my first pc i don’t want anything crazy.

PCS has a send in your own case option. So if you were to buy a case from a website, You can send it to PCS and then they can get started on your build.
I recommend the Corsair 220T RGB Airflow but it is not in stock right now and is relatively cheap
Google Chrome is a RAM stealing spy don't install it.

Hope it helps,

Agree with all the above. Just want to add that I've changed Chrome to Firefox a few months ago and am very happy about it. It took a few days to get use to, but now it's so much better: a bit faster, but most importantly - I don't give free data to Google (and feed an already multibillion worth company) as much as previously.

but do you think the temperature would be fine with the specs ive chosen, if i do choose the nzxt case?

and i didn’t actually think about the browser thing, thank you!

I'm not the best person to ask about the temps, but 3600 should be fine with an AMD air cooler. Well, it depends on what software you'll use, games play and tasks do on this PC. Try to see the videos on Youtube comparison and temps for particular software and games with 3600 stock cooler. I personally will take Noctua air cooler on 5600X, but just because Noctua is quieter as a stock cooler is also good. I don't know if 5600x and 3600 has same stock coolers.

Here's a bit out it.
