PCSpecialist Ignite Black Friday 2025 Review
Introduction and Build Configuration
Introduction
Black Friday. That time of year where we all wonder whether our lives would be improved by a better electric toothbrush, or foot spa, or new vacuum cleaner. After all, when you’re saving £3.99 from the £600 list price, it’s basically free.
One area where savings are legitimate is technology. By which we mean PC Hardware, not smart light bulbs or a fridge that let’s you look it without opening the door. What is the point in those? Do any of us not know what we have in our fridge? Or have the ability to remove something from it without opening the door anyway. Waste of.. Sorry, off-topic. Meanwhile back at the ranch.
PC Hardware is always a great place to find genuine savings, and this Black Friday PCSpecialist have brought out a rig that is perfect if you want to get on the PC Gaming ladder. And why wouldn’t you? Mice and keyboard controls already make FPS games better than they are with a pad. The addition of mods, and the sheer number available for any title you can think of, make every game better than they are on console. The games themselves, with a few key exceptions of especially greedy companies, are much cheaper. Sales are more prevalent. And, finally, graphics are potentially better.
So if you’ve been itching to get on board the PC Gaming train, now is the perfect time. Enter the PCSpecialist Ignite Black Friday 2025 system. £999.99 for a rig that will play anything you can think of at 1080P, and just about anything at 1440. If you step away from AAA titles and live in the world of Ball X Pit, Hades II, Age of Wonders and the many Paradox Grand Strategy titles, 4K is easily handled even at this price.
Build Configuration
As always you could tweak the build specifications if you’d like, but to get this exact model at, most importantly, this price, this is what you’ll get. To be honest there isn’t anything we’d really change other than maybe have the 16gbb version of the GPU. One of the benefits of PCSpecialist is how well they spec their systems. You could have a 2 or 4TB drive, or maybe a flashier case, or maybe… and therein lies the road to a rig that is £1500 but doesn’t really perform any better than this.
What Else Is Available?
Naturally this being part of PCS’ Black Friday deals, there are other options available. So just in case the above doesn’t whet your appetite, here are three other systems you can purchase at a bargain price.
PCSpecialist Vortex Nvidia Gaming PC
For £1799 you can grab the Vortex. With an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti and 2TB of Samsung M.2 storage, it’s hugely capable at a small price.
PCSpecialist Fusion AMD Gaming PC
If you’d prefer to go with a full AMD system, the Fusion is just £1599 and boasts the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics. Like the Vortex you also get 2TB of blazing Samsung storage.
PCSpecialist Ionico Ultra Laptop
Lastly if you prefer your gaming portable there is the Ionico Ultra laptop. Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, Nvidia RTX 5060 and a 180Hz 2560×1600 screen is a bargain at just £1399.
