It's a sign of the times that every review system in our line-up is outfitted with an Intel CPU and a discrete Nvidia graphics card. The premier choice at this price point is the GeForce GTX 970 and Cyberpower's implementation of an overclocked MSI card delivers top-notch performance from a sub-Ā£1,000 machine.

This is a hardware configuration that's capable of more than just full-HD gameplay. Framerates at 2,560x1,440 remain perfectly playable in modern titles, though 3,840x2,160 (4K) is one challenge too many.
