Highly recommended PC supplier

I've just bought a desktop PC from Palicomp and couldn't be happier with the product, price and service.


These are the interesting parts of base specification machine that I tweaked a bit:

Palicomp Genius Intel 1000

Cost £999.99 (inc VAT)

Overclocked Intel Core i7 8700K - 6 Cores - 12 Threads @ 3.7Ghz/4.7Ghz + 12MB CACHE


CRUCIAL BALLISTIX Sport 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz


240GB CRUCIAL BX200 SATA3 - 6Gb/s


nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB PCI-E 3.0 Ready




I spent another £350, most of which went on upgrading the SSD to M.2 and a 6Mb graphics card. I've benchmarked it using the software from cpubenchmark.net ( Download here )

These are the results:



My trusty I7-3770 with 8Mb Ram, on board graphics and a mechanical hard drive bencmarked at 39th percentile. It feels like I've gone from a Morris Minor to a Bugatti.

Again I should repeat I couldn't recommend Palicomp enough. As I've said elsewhere the support guys at AutoKitchen say it is the fastest rendering machine they have seen to date. I spent £1350 but I still reckon the base spec machine at £999.99 with an SSD and 4Mb video card would be pretty damned quick too.
