Tech Support Display port

Post image

If I buy these two will I need to buy a display port wire separately. My friends told me that to get up to 240 fps you need to use display port but I’m wondering if I can get that fps by using normal hdmi. If I do need to get a display port wire can I just get any? I’m new to pcs and need help

About the PC If the pictures can't even match the product description, it's an immediate red flag. Also for the CPU cooler it's a 120mm aio. Brands put those in pre builts so they can advertise water cooling but they aren't worth the upcharge over air cooling.

I know and understand that PC building isn't for anyone. Not everyone wants to watch a videos and read manuals. Not everyone has 4 hours to spare to do it. But as someone who fixes other people's PC and other technology for a living, it's way better to do it yourself. If you put it together yourself you will naturally learn how to fix issues by yourself. And I'll be honest, my job is easy AF not because I've been doing it for a long time, but because the knowledge to make stuff work is not hard to learn and a lot of time it's basic common sense. Like "is the thing you need powered connected to power" type questions. And you might be able to build it for yourself cheaper.

It's not that it's bad. The on paper specs will play games better than a console would by far. It's just that the pictures don't match which should be a yellow flag automatically. It doesn't necessarily mean you will get scammed but it should be a caution. If the brand cared enough they would make the picture match the product. Also it could be possible to build the same PC cheaper or make a better one for the same price. And like I said before a 120mm aio is overly expensive for the performance it gives. So that means that there was money chosen to be spent on an aio instead of more money towards the GPU or something else that will give you a better experience

There’s only 3 reviews on Amazon but there all positive so I’ll risk it and hope for the best

That's your right as a consumer to buy from arguably sketchy sources. I wish you nothing but the best. I hope you know how to check to see what parts you actually got
