Rank #5 in Best Gaming PC Under £1000: Where the Card Gets Real
Veno Scorp Gaming PC, i7-3770, 16GB DDR3, RTX 3050 6GB
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Veno Scorp i7-3770 costs £479 and is rated 3.6 stars from 20 ratings, with an RTX 3050 6GB in a 2012 platform.
It takes fifth because it is the cheapest way here into a current graphics card, while its DDR3 memory and 16GB ceiling will hold that card back and its reviewers say so.
How those 20 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 3.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
“does the job but the older CPU and Motherboard (DDR3 ram) may come back to bite you in the ass, and the older CPU especially really throttles the performance of the otherwise half decent GPU in my experienceyou can always upgrade it obviously. just know what you're buying5 stars because it's not like i was mislead or anything, it's just information i feel like one should know”
