Buying a pc

Hi, im trying to get a new gaming pc but cant afford to pay it all upfront and i dont want to build it myself as i would prefer to have a warranty and it means issues would be easier to get solved. What im asking is where is the best place to buy a pc on finance? I dont mind paying the extra. Like fierce pc have a 10 month plan where i pay 20% or 30% of the full cost and have 10 monthly instalments. Is there anywhere similar that would have better prices?
why not get a refurbished PC. they often have a 6 month warranty.
Wheres the best place for a refurbished one? Whats the difference?

they have been used but given a thorough servicing before selling to you.

my last 6 computers have been refurbished... no problems at all.

On fierce pc i have a built set up. Its got intel i5, 16gb ram, gtx 2060 but might do a 1060 instead not sure yet, 240 ssd, 1tb hdd. Thats for 160 upfront and around 70 a month roughly.

I would go with refurbished just not sure what to look for tbh.
Apply for an Argos card and get a brand new one with up to 12 months interest free.
Are pc's from argos good?

Fierce pc is prebuilt but custom i think
Look it up and check, it’s worth the try. Personally I have no idea, sorry.
I checked argos but the prices were really high for the specs.
Pre-built is bad value, unless it's a specialist website where you pick the parts.

Really, just save up £500 or so, then do your research, ask around and buy the right parts, and have a PC shop or friend build it for you.
