Looking for First PC Recommendations with a £1000 Budget

Hey everyone! I’m excited to be getting my first gaming PC and I’ve got a budget of around £1000 GBP. I’m opting for a prebuilt system, so I wanted to know if anyone has any solid recommendations. Also, I came across this one from Overclockers: the Kestrel Micro ATX with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Radeon RX 7600. Is it worth it?
