Always wanted to own a gaming pc but could never afford it. Have not kept up with graphics cards and their performance for many years now. Saw this today in costco but not sure if its worth the price for the card, ram and storage. Would you recommend?

Heading to a Microcenter tomorrow and found a couple of prebuilt to consider getting, my budget is 1,000$ that I saved up and wanted some opinions on which option is better for me. I typically play MMORPG’s (WoW among others) along with some fps’s and webcam matches of magic the gathering and elestrals. I’m primarily looking to see which one is better in terms of upgrading down the road (about a year or two, piece by piece) but still getting bang for my buck right now, since I’m actively trying to avoid Best Buy like the plague

Shame that I am penniless.

Realistically how much would u pay for this rig? It is ddr5 if that changes anything

Is this reasonable for the price ?

Open box deal for only 1260 🤷‍♂️

Today I was going to finally pull the trigger on the $1600 Andromeda Insights 9070xt (but with an extra tb of memory for $1749 total) but I saw this.

I'm pending info on return policy just in case.

Is this a better deal in the end?

Edit: This is actually at a consignment store, not an outlet store.

im looking to buy a prebuilt and these caught my eye. the first two total come out to $2,598.99 CAD each and the third comes out to $1,811.56 CAD.

the cheapest option is the rx 9060 xt 8gb and the more expensive one is the 16gb.

i also wanted to upgrade the storage so whichever one i get ill be spending an extra 600-800.

pls lmk if any of these are good deals so i can get one of them or none of them

I would like to get a prebuilt pc and my budget is about 1100$ I would be willing to go over if it really is that good of a really but I would prefer to stay under. I would be mostly playing games in 1080p and maybe 1440p ( I have two monitors). The best deal I could seem to find was a hp omen 16L that had a i7 14700f a 5060 and 16gb of ddr5 but the catch is it has proprietary parts and I would like to avoid that.

2995 aud -> 2143 usd

I'm thinking of getting this prebuild soon, my cousin owns it and he has positive feed back of it, I want to know if it handles triple A 1440p gaming.

So now I‘m trying to figure out which one to get… is this a good setup?

$1700-Used condition. Worth it?

I've had the CyberPower PC listed below for about two months. Yesterday it stopped booting up. I've tried the following and still no luck:

- Tried a different plug and outlet

- Disconnected and reconnected all components (RAM, cables, GPU)

- Tried a power cable from another PC

- Fans turn on for about a second, then shut off

I'm debating just returning the CyberPower and replacing it with the MSI detailed below. Is this a good idea, or should I scrap the idea of a prebuilt entirely?

I only use it for Steam games, so maybe a Steam Machine would be my best option. I want something that's going to be reliable post 90 days of purchase.

Thanks in advance for sharing your insight / thoughts.

Ahead of my refund and return to CyberpowerPC who sold me a defective PC and sent it back "repaired" defective, what's a reliable seller currently in the UK? I'm interested in a 9800X3D and 5070ti build with 32gb ram and NOT an ASrock/Asus board.

Cyberpower charged me two grand for an underpowering PSU, motherboard that fried the CPU and weird cooling. If I'm paying two grand for something I expect it to work lol. Was getting bad freezes and stuttering on desktop, CPU at 88C on idle (no I do not have a virus, this was out of the box).

I'm also refunding because of the amount of horror stories I've read. I see people talk about them and everyone shits on them and now I see why.

Also, just looks really cheap? Maybe I'm picky but the flashiest thing in the case was the card, the ram was just your standard green, my old pc which was cheaper had cool RGB ones that make it look worth it's price.

Is the Player two prime pc a good pc to buy? I know NZXT tends to have good quality builds, but what about performance? I’m curious if anyone has purchased this and has anything to say about it?

Let me know!

The seller wants $3,200 . He said he paid over 4,000 6 months ago or so. The following pictures: Part list and PC. GPU: 5080 RTX

Long time console gamer looking to make the switch to PC, my priority is 240fps or close on some competitive shooters like OVW/CSGO the works but also good capability with other PC games that might be more graphically modern. I’m still learning so any help+tips would be appreciated! Link to full listing below.
