At KitGuru, we are always on the look-out for a great deal when it comes to buying a new PC. Overclockers UK have definitely caught our eye, then, with their new Neuron system. Priced at £1333, it sports an overclocked i5-6600K, an Intel NVMe SSD as well as a Gigabyte GTX 1070 graphics card. Built in the excellent Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case, too, we were looking forward to getting a hands-on.

At a total price of £1333, the Overclockers UK Neuron system sits almost exactly between the AWD-IT Aura (review HERE) and the Cyberpower Infinity X55 VX (HERE) – two PCs I have reviewed recently. As such, it will be very interesting to see the Neuron's relative performance when compared with those two PC systems – particularly given the similarity of specification across all three PCs.
