The RTX 3080 delivers incredible gaming pace, and PC Specialist’s system is attractive, sturdy, accessible and capable – and it has a low price. AMD chips might tempt you elsewhere, though
The PC Specialist Obsidian I is the first review system to arrive at Tech Advisor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, and this fearsome Ampere GPU is paired with an Intel Core i7-10700KF processor, a super-fast SSD and loads of RGB LEDs.
Surprisingly, the PC Specialist Obsidian I only costs £1,899. That’s still a huge amount to spend on a PC, but it’s relatively affordable considering the sheer performance on offer – especially when you consider that a PC like this can keep you gaming smoothly for years.
Design & Build
The high-end hardware is packed inside a Lian Li Lancool II. It’s a bold, impressive case – the front panel is dominated by strips of mesh that are illuminated by RGB LEDs, and both sides have tempered glass panels on hinges – which makes it easier to get inside. There are buttons on top of the chassis to alter the lighting, and build quality is tremendous: the glass, metal and plastic are rock-solid.
The lower thirds on both sides of the case are covered with sleek metal shrouds. They’re hinged, and flipping them down reveals some extra features, like hard disk and SSD mounts. They’re a smart addition, although those hinges are the only weak point in this case – they’re a bit too flimsy.
