PC Specialist Enigma Pro (i3-8100 w/ GTX 1070)

Rating: 8.5.

With the launch of Coffee Lake and Z370, Intel is looking to stand firm against a peppery Ryzen architecture. Intel’s 8th generation parts ramp up the core count, led by the six cores and twelve threads of the Core-i7 8700 and 8700K. Further down the CPU table, Coffee Lake’s Core-i3 CPUs are now affordable quad-cores. These could be perfect for budget conscious, punchy, gaming systems. PC Specialist thinks so, and has kitted out its Enigma Pro with Coffee Lake’s Core i3-8100 and a GTX 1070 for added spice.

 At just under £900, this system is immediately enchanting. PC Specialist has put together a really attractive package in the Enigma Pro, and at this price we’ve high hopes of a strong showing. Everything inside this system hints at a PC which can handle most things and – importantly – provide good gaming performance. Let’s see what this Core-i3 8100 powered system can do.
