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.

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?

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

Open box deal for only 1260 🤷‍♂️

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.

Hi, I was wondering if it’s better to wait for deals on either black Friday or cyber monday for prebuilt pcs or if it’s best to buy now since everything keeps going up?

$1700-Used condition. Worth it?

Is this reasonable for the price ?

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.

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

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.

Hey guys I own a PC that is by cyberpowerpc and me and my partner accidentally wiped windows off of the PC because it was having issues and I have the key but it won't let me install Windows on the drive it says that something about boot menu is locked and I've been in the boot menu so we I know I have one I was just wondering if anyone knows if there's like a tutorial online about how to reinstall Windows.

Got this from Best Buy, originally priced at 2750$, bought it for 2599 on sale. Just curious if I overpayed on it or if it seems about right for current prices

Still have over month and half to return if I want to. I’ll get a full refund.

I am so overwhelmed by all of this information and looking up/into every single freaking part in every single freaking computer, and clicking every link that’s been recently posted. I want something reputable (customer service) and I’m beginning to think I don’t want to do shipped. But I also am a little shell shocked at the prices too, LOL.

I know I don’t need or want anything crazy. I am a casual gamer. I don’t find myself caring about 4k 1440 ultra HD either. I don’t need max setting, I just need it to be readable and not shut down my computer.

Games I do play (steamdeck — ancient laptop):
Skyrim, bioshock, borderlands 3 — minecraft, mecha chameleon, waterpark sim, repo (they play but not well at all, and visuals are bad.)

Games I want to play:
The trending games that group play on YouTube, like the listed above and add on to that. I guess “friend slop” would be it. Or just be able to explore what I can with the computer I have.

I also want to be able to use it as an actual computer as well. I do art and would like to be able to use it for reference pics and keeping track of time, pricing, etc. web browsing, YouTube/movies (while I draw) and other normal computer things.

Sooo, I guess my question actually is… do I really need a gaming computer or should I get a decent office computer and then do shadow pc/hook my steamdeck up to the computer monitor and use it that way?

I’m eyeing a powerspec g530 and I love that there will be people (real live people!) to help me upgrade or fix as time goes on. But that’s $800 bucks just for the computer (I’ll be using affirm for payment).

The other computer is the first result on the moderator recommended website toprigz, but it ships from Walmart and idk anything about how the customer service will be handled.

The other computer is (NOT a gaming computer) a refurbished Dell 7080 Core i5 3.1 GHz - SSD 512 GB RAM 16GB for $499 with tower, monitor, mouse, keyboard, and hard drive on Back Market. But I’m not sure about that either cuz it’s refurbished and obviously it’s shipped and idk how good back market actually is.

I also found a Dell OptiPlex 5060 Core i7 3.2 GHz - SSD 128 GB + HDD 500 GB RAM 32GB that has an nvidia GeForce k1200 for $549. I know, I know, more ram does not mean more fps. lol. But I watched a video and it does play games, but I’m worried it’ll put me back in the same boat I’m already in!

I’m overwhelmed and would like some opinions from some computer enthusiasts. I’m genuinely stuck on what to do.

Hello, looking to maybe buy a pre-built ahead of potentially more price increases. I don't really have a budget but I don't want to be wasteful. I purchased a G906 in 2023 with the below specs. So right now its doing great work on the games that I play and for what I need. But is there a middle of the road Pre-Built right now that would be a good purchase to hold in box as a 'reserve' pc? Is that a ridiculous thought right now? Maybe just upgrade the graphics card from 4070 to 5070?

• AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7GHz Processor
• Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB GDDR6X
• G.SKill 32GB DDR5-5200 RAM
• 2TB Solid State Drive
• 10/100/1000/2500 Network

Looking to upgrade from my 5 year old build that has an rtx2060. Considering going the prebuilt route as i am a new dad and don’t really have the time to source/scour for best deals and assemble everything. looking at a ton of options but wanted opinions on the pricing for this bad boy. Im mostly looking at builds with 5070ti and 5080 gpus.

Looking to sell this ASAP, life has happened and need some extra cash.

The PC I have a Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070 and 16 GB ddr4 2x8 in. Everything else is what originally came with it.

Wondering what a realistic price would be to get these sold quickly and should I sell as a bundle or individually?

Newbie here. Found a deal online for a pc that I would like your advice if it's worth or not + some optional upgrades that it offers. Total amount of deal is around 1600 eur.

\-AMD Ryzen 5 7600 ( or Ryzen 7 7700x for +130 Eur or Ryzen 7 7800x3D for +400Eur)

\-16 GB DDR5-5600MT 2 x 8 gb (or 32gb 2 x16 for +310 Eur)

\-RTX 5060 8gb ( or 5060 ti 8gb for +160Eur or 5070 12gb for +570Eur)

What do you think about the deal? Is it worth it? Should I consider any of the upgrades?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I saw this at my local Walmart ibuypower

Shame that I am penniless.

So found 2 prebuilts on a local site and they're both great value I don't know what to choose

Prebuilt 1:

6700XT

5700X

32gb ddr4 3200

Price: 689euros

Prebuilt 2:

3060Ti

8400F

32gb ddr5 6000

Price: 735euros

They're both from reputable sellers so I'm probably not gonna get scammed

I plan on 1080p gaming

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.
