The RTX 3060 TI alone seems to be £650.
I'm certainly tempted by the cheaper i5 - might that be a false economy, and the i7 is the better buy? I like messing about with the latest 3D games and have been thinking about an Oculus Quest VR hook-up machine for a while
Also, is it possible to throttle these cards so they're (near) silent when not
in gaming mode?

They look to be pretty sturdy! But cards are
just too pricey right now - the Aldi deal looks
to be approaching sane.
And as pointed out upthread, I wouldn't be sure
what I'd be getting with the Aldi machine -
although my expereince of their stuff has been
pretty good.
Overall I've gone off the idea and think I'll
just get a mid-range card off ebay for now so I
can at least play the games I've got on the
Windows PC. Looking at 1060 or similar.
