Read before relying on this check
- RAM: the product page only says “32GB (2x16GB) 3200Mhz DDR4 Memory”. AWD-IT’s customer service told us by email on 21 October 2026 that the system currently uses “Origin Storage 32GB (2x16GB) 3200Mhz DDR4 Memory” and that this “can change depending on stock levels”.
- AWD-IT didn’t give a part number. We priced Origin Storage CT2K16G4DFRA32A-OS, the only Origin Storage 2x16GB DDR4-3200 desktop kit we found at a UK retailer. It’s our best match, not a part number AWD-IT has confirmed.
- Power supply: the only in-stock listing we found for the Gigabyte GP-P650SS ICE was in AWD-IT’s own parts shop, so that’s the price we used.
- Prices are dated. Each part shows the retailer, stock status and time we checked it. The builder price and every part price were checked on 21 October 2026, and they change often.
- If AWD-IT corrects anything, or the RAM or any other part changes, we’ll update this check and note it here.

“Named” means a brand and model that identify one retail product. When the builder doesn’t say which version (colour, timings, revision), we use the dearest in-stock version so the gap is never overstated. Sold-out and pre-order prices aren’t counted. Full method.
