Part II
PSU - Corsair AX1600i

Monitor - AOC Q3279VWFD8
Now going by the name of Q3279VWFD8, this 31.5in successor touts significant colour enhancements, including wider coverage, improved uniformity and vastly superior out-the-box accuracy. All for less than Ā£200!

PC Base Unit - Corsair One Elite
Corsair One remains a very good example of a small-form-factor gaming PC. Building on the foundations of the award-winning Pro, the Elite raises the bar with a hexa-core Intel Core i7-8700K processor, 32GB of memory, a fast M.2 SSD and meaty GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics.

Laptop - Microsoft Surface Book 2
In our opinion, Surface Book 2 has raised the bar for versatile laptop design and sets a high standard for other PC manufacturers to aspire to.
