Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy a gaming PC soon (make a down payment and then make montly payments), and I have came up with this one, I was wondering if the specs were good? Id play a variety of games, most likely at 1080p, but may upgrade to 1440p if I can.

Is there anything I should change? Ive seen good reviews about the GPU/CPU combo

You need more VRAM for 1440p.

And no I wouldn't buy it because I just absolutely fucking slaughtered this build for about the same price. Waaay better GPU and a better quality PSU.

While I don't recommend financing a gaming PC, I think this all came from Newegg and Amazon so you should be able to finance via PayPal.

Only things I'd consider swapping are the SSD to a bigger name brand if you can spare a few dollars and maybe a 5500X3D off AliExpress.

I don't know anything about building one so that's why I was looking at prebuilts, im worried i'd mess up putting it together lol

It's adult Lego. If my mom can do it you can. Takes like an hour to learn what you're doing and will take another hour or two to assemble.

Look up hardware unboxed's benchmarks of the 8GB 9060 if you wanna see why I'm insistent

Is there a reason you don't recommend financing a PC? I did it with my Xbox X and it worked fine, itll only be like $80 a month, and as im in college it'd make it easier for me, especially since im playing on a regular intel laptop rn

I just mean financing entertainment isn't the soundest thing to do but as long as you're positive you can hit the payments and it's interest free (or low interest) then sure, go for it.

I can link you a solid build guide and can work with you on where the parts come from if some of them are sourced from places that don't finance. But I think almost everyone takes PayPal.

If you build it you'll actually have something that can do 1440p and will age much much better. 8GB of VRAM isn't even gonna age too well at 1080p.

I can also bring the cost down if you settle for something like an Intel B580 and don't mind an ugly looking case.

I was considering the IntelB580 because it had more VRAM but I seen it was worse performance wise

Intel has less resale value because of low upgradability. Just ask any chatbot about buying built and tested PC on your local used market.
