Hey everyone, I’m new to PC parts and building, and I’m considering buying a pre-built gaming PC. I want to make sure I’m getting good value for my money, especially since my main preference is to run most games smoothly, no matter the graphics settings. Could you help me assess whether this PC is worth the price tag? Price tag for this build is $1,530USD.

Hey everyone, I’m new to PC parts and building, and I’m considering buying a pre...
can you build yourself, or do you have to go prebuilt
nimble crescent
country? budget? general aesthetic preference? use case? purchase timeframe? hardware preference?
worthy cave
I mean that build is passable, pay another 40$ and get another pair of 16gb of ram and you will be fine
not optimal for the price
nimble crescent
16 usually means 2x8
worthy cave
but fine, functionally
nimble crescent
not really
worthy cave
16 usually means 2x8
I assum that mobo have 4 ram slot
worthy cave
yeah yeah "half rank" 8gb stick
nimble crescent
still awful
at that pricepoint it's better to find one that comes with 32gb from the start
also @pale sentinel why can't you build yourself?
worthy cave
I don't shop in Au, so idk much about pricing there, especially prebuilt so can't really find one with 32gb
pale sentinel
1,342 USD for this build
worthy cave
1,342 USD for this build
that actually looks more reasonable, still not great though
pale sentinel
also <@330874954398564362> why can't you build yourself?
built one before but just a big muck around with building it
nimble crescent
then why not just build
worthy cave
idk about Au pricing, can you provide me some link where I can check out product sold in Au
nimble crescent
better price/performance
pale sentinel
i don't know how to build them, i'd rather pay the price for something that i know it built properly
i'm not fussed with the price tags
worthy cave
to be fair, at 1350$, it's still pretty hard to step up to a 4070ti/super, maybe rx 7900xt build in in budget though
pale sentinel
so the 2 builds that i've sent i should stay away from?
worthy cave
If you can build it yourself, then yes
pale sentinel
i can't build myself, when i got mine built i had a friend come over.
worthy cave
Otherwise, it's perfectly usable
worthy cave
I personally still rock a pretty weak laptop beside my pc, and I can do everything on it beside AI stuff, which is what my pc are for
pale sentinel
i don't need anything crazy just want stuff to run games smoothly
@worthy cave if you had to choose out of the 3 that i've sent what one would you choose?
nimble crescent
thoughts on the one i've just sent?
it's a weird one
got strengths in some areas
but weird weaknesses (psu, gpu)
pale sentinel
jolly would you mind if i keep sending ones through?
and you can give me a rating on them 🙂
please man
nimble crescent
yeah
pale sentinel
legend man!
nimble crescent
but if there's someone who will build a pc for you that's near, i'd suggest buying these and letting them build it
pale sentinel
yeah i've got no one atm.
nimble crescent
nobody on fb market?
pale sentinel
nah not here in aus lmao
nimble crescent
sad
worthy cave
i don't need anything crazy just want stuff to run games smoothly
What game do you play though, and what resolution
What fps would be "smooth" to you
pale sentinel
all main stream games, gta, cs, warzone, cod
nimble crescent
so you're streaming with it?
pale sentinel
What fps would be "smooth" to you
stable 144 without massive frame drops
pale sentinel
so you're streaming with it?
depends really. more than likely no but thats not my focus atm
nimble crescent
try looking at radeon ones too then
worthy cave
all main stream games, gta, cs, warzone, cod
What resolution though, 1080p, 1440p, 4k?
pale sentinel
1080
worthy cave
Welp if it's 1080p it's way more than enough
pale sentinel
1,275USD for this build.
@nimble crescent
@worthy cave
thanks so much for helping aswell guys!
pale sentinel
no i'll look for another
worthy cave
It's ok, but yeah psu kinda sus
It probably works just fine though
Cpu, mobo,and all the fan probably eat at at best 200w total
Gpu is another 250w
pale sentinel
so it suits? right?
are the specs good on that build?
@nimble crescent
lmk if you dont want me to @ you
pale sentinel
so out of the ones i've sent what would you say is best for valve?
nimble crescent
do you have a jw near you at all
pale sentinel
jw?
nimble crescent
yes
pale sentinel
just don't know anything bout pcs
so even the parts go over my head
would it be best to buy pre built of jw?
nimble crescent
you can custom select parts
pale sentinel
@nimble crescent 1,270USD for that build ^
pale sentinel
i'll see if i can send the full custom link
Budget is around that 1.5k - 1.6k USD
jolly appreciate you man!!!
nimble crescent
aw, looks like i can't
but go to the custom built-to-order
and grab these parts

pale sentinel

the only RBG is the CPU cooler right?
just double checking ^
@nimble crescent
nimble crescent
