Conclusion

...fast, well-put together, and an eminently likeable upgrade for those making do with older hardware that's starting to feel the strain.

The temptation to adopt the latest and greatest in PC hardware can be tough to resist, but if you're inclined to save a few pounds in the face of spiralling component costs, there is still value to be found in the mid-range segment.

Appreciating there's more to PC gaming than eye-catching rigs that cost a small fortune, the Scan 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti targets the savvy shopper seeking up-to-date tech at an agreeable fee.

For £970, this tidy base unit delivers a six-core processor, liquid-cooling, fast DDR4 memory, solid-state storage and a graphics card that's well-suited to either 1080p or 1440p gaming. It might not be the flashiest PC you've ever seen, but it's fast, well-put together, and an eminently likeable upgrade for those making do with older hardware that's starting to feel the strain.

Bottom line: both the 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti base unit and a quality QHD FreeSync display can be yours for less than the cost of a single RTX 2080 Ti. What's not to like?
