Whats the price? Can't access it from germany

#

Also: 16GB o' RAM is way too little for a new computer at this general price point

karmic thorn
#

Yeah, the seller should be embarrassed that’s the amount of ram they’re including

#

I know it’s marked down but I would look elsewhere

rocky merlin
#

Currently putting together a comparable list on PCer... There's already a good handful of things/"issues" coming to mind with the system above

karmic thorn
#

Lol I’m doing the same

#

I think I would look for a build with a 40 series to begin with

#

In that price range

#

If you’re spending that much money might as well future proof as much as is affordable

My issues with this are specifically:

  • 33% build fee on "offer"
  • Ryzen 5800X***3D***
  • unspecified SSD
  • 360 AiO (fans from InWin??) that is not available publicly for a CPU that would probably be better off Air cooled
  • unspecified Motherboard
  • unspecified GPU brand, description says "3080 Ti"
  • PCIe WiFi card instead of motherboard integrated
  • unspecified Power supply, tho 850W apparently
  • description says 6 RGB fans, images clearly show 9

Unspecified mobo was one for me

You could save 30 dollers by not getting RGB

karmic thorn
#

But the rgb makes it go faster 🙃

Also what resolution you gonna be playing in?

#

If you are gonna be in standard 1440p or 1080p that 5800x is not gonna keep that GPU fed particularly well

Yeah, I didn’t think it looked too great. We’d be looking for something prebuilt, he’s not concerned about super high quality graphics or framerate, but enough to run an fps smoothly. Would appreciate suggestions for something better

karmic thorn
#

Run what smoothly? Minecraft? Cyberpunk? Doom3d?

#

He hasn’t said anything too specific, but coop/competitive multiplayer, most taxing one that comes to mind would be Hunt Showdown. Probably also stuff like darktide

coarse garnet
#

Because he doesn’t want to/know how to build one himself?

rocky merlin
#

Did you tell them they can save 33% / 500 bucks by doing it themselves?

thorn dragon
#

That is an insane build fee

#

Usually build fees are closer to 100-200

coarse garnet
#

I guess I can give him a part list

rocky merlin
#

Could also forward them here in case of any questions or requests - with an investment of about 2 hours they'll be fine just fine having built their own

That's really overpriced for what you are getting

#

Look at that PC, which has a much better CPU, twice amount the RAM, a GPU that's better at Raytracing.

thorn dragon
#

A GPU that's better full stop

#

4070ti is equal to the 3090 in pretty much every way performance wise

The 3080ti is only slightly slower but due to its fewer cores than the 3090 it can't trade blows quite as easilly in raytraced content like the 3090 can

Yea

That too

What about "future resistant", copying water intrusion language?
