Overclockers UK is a brand synonymous with gaming PCs in the UK, offering quality options no matter the budget. The major PC retailer recently introduced its latest range of gaming PCs to the world – Spectra. The Spectra lineup brings the same quality we have come to expect from OCUK, only now with Windows 11 pre-installed in every system.

OCUK, based out of Staffordshire, is famous in the PC enthusiast community, and generally offers hardware with superb performance at competitive prices. Overclockers have a solid reputation in the gaming industry, with excellent customer service and a long history of quality PC building practice.

The Spectra systems in question are OCUKs latest custom-built range, with six differently spec’d systems to choose from. Regardless if you are looking for an entry-level gaming PC or an all-singing-all-dancing 4K machine, Spectra has you covered. These systems are built using off-the-shelf parts and ship with three years of warranty, covering parts and labour.

These plug-and-play computers are designed for the casual gamer, and you hardcore nerds too, working straight out of the box with no fuss, and Windows 11 pre-installed. As you can probably tell by the name ‘Spectra’, each model is split into a spectrum of colors and named accordingly.
