Conclusion

...a modern platform that serves as an attractive destination for users of older machines that are struggling to render today's latest games.

Want to get in on the latest advancements in PC tech without breaking the bank? All the major system integrators have updated their portfolios with sub-£1,000 base units armed with latest-generation components, and in the first half of 2019, an AMD Ryzen CPU paired with an Nvidia GeForce GPU is proving to be a popular choice.

For £950, Chillblast's Fusion Trigger GTX 1660 Ti partners a mid-range Nvidia Turing graphics card with a Ryzen 5 2600 processor, a well-matched combination that delivers in terms of both productivity and gaming. Factor in a fast SSD and 16GB of DDR4 memory, and you have a modern platform that serves as an attractive destination for users of older machines that are struggling to render today's latest games.

Competitive pricing is complemented by a five-year warranty, however there is room for improvement as the end product doesn't feel quite as refined as certain competitors. Chillblast's build isn't the quietest, and we'd like to see faster memory as well as a more spacious SSD, but these are minor critiques of what's ultimately a likeable mid-range Windows PC.

The Good
 
The Bad
Costs less than a thousand pounds
Excellent gaming at FHD, decent at QHD
Capable everyday performance
Tidy build quality throughout
Five-year warranty as standard
 
'Only' a 250GB SSD
Could be quieter
