I want to know if a pre built is good

vast vigil
#

A) whats your budget

B) what prebuilt(s) are you looking at

C) what do you plan on using your pc for

wind dragon
#

but if i was my budget would be around 1000

#

(Little bit less)

vast vigil
wind dragon
#

I want to ask

#

If the power supply company

#

Would made much difference

#

And if there a big performance difference between h m.b and b m.b

wind dragon
#

@vast vigil

vast vigil
#

I'm not sure what that means

wind dragon
#

Brand

#

Matters?

#

And is there a big difference between b760 motherboard and h610

vast vigil
#

Brand does matter with power supplies, they aren't created equally at all and ones with short warranties should probably be avoided.

And there is quite a big difference between B660/760 and H610 motherboards. H610 limits the amount of PCIe lanes available and doesnt support memory overclocking / enabling XMP profiles at all.

#

H610 should really only be considered if you're making some sort of home or office pc with very low power consumption, it's not very suitable for a workstation or gaming computer

wind dragon
#

Oh ok

#

So i should only get b760

vast vigil
#

B660 or B760 are what you should be looking at if you're on a budget yes

wind dragon
#

And what some power supply companys that are decent

vast vigil
#

phanteks, seasonic, corsair & be quiet! are some brands i'd recommend for power supplies

wind dragon
#

And can you give me an advice how to get the best price vs value pc

#

Because if i want to build the parts my own

#

It costs so much more than

#

A pre built

vast vigil
#

typically BYO will be cheaper over a prebuilt. however you should look around reputable online stores for your region for the best prices on the components you need. typically i'd say do this with pcpartpicker, but it doesnt appear to support your region.

so have a look around on stores that you trust or have good reviews from other (real) buyers to find the best deals you can on parts

#

when it comes to motherboards specifically its very easy to overspend, so its a good idea to compare some that you like and which one offers the best value. this can include how many m.2 slots it has, what the rear I/O offers in terms of connectivity, and how well the VRM performs

wind dragon
#

And should i buy now or save my money for a month or two

#

Because i saw so many posts

#

Saying the ram prices will go even lower

vast vigil
#

the memory market is extremely volatile right now and i dont want to say you should panic buy anything, it could get cheaper or even more expensive at any moment. things appear to have plateaued a little bit for now, but this could change drastically in the next few days

#

so buying memory is up to you

#

it might be a good idea to buy your memory FIRST if youre worried about pricing rising further, but thats my opinion

wind dragon
#

Oh ok

#

Ty very much for helping me i appreciate it

vast vigil
#

👍

wind dragon
#

A pre bulit

#

In mind

#

Can i show you?

vast vigil
#

go ahead

wind dragon
wind dragon
#

Mouse and keyboard

#

With it

#

In dollrs this costs about

#

830

#

Dollars

#

This price for the pc alone

#

I have a monitor

vast vigil
#

on the surface, its fine. but it says nothing about the speed of the memory, what TYPE of ssd it uses and what "air cooler" it uses

#

not a fan of the extremely mis-leading ai slop for the promotion

wind dragon
#

Oh ok

#

I asked them

#

They seemed annoyed

#

So idk

#

What should i do

vast vigil
#

annoyed by what?

wind dragon
#

Not annoyed sorry

#

But i didnt want to keep

#

Asking

#

When i am not

#

Going to buy it for sure

#

u know

#

So what should i ask

#

Exactly

vast vigil
#

You'd like to know the following:

  • What speed is the memory
  • What type of SSD is being used
  • What type of air cooler it uses
#

although i did just notice one thing

#

and its using an H610 motherboard, which is not good

wind dragon
#

Thats the best thing i found for my budget

vast vigil
#

I see

wind dragon
#

The memory you mean the ram?

vast vigil
#

well, ask them the questions i provided

vast vigil
wind dragon
#

Oh ok

#

Ty very much for your help

vast vigil
#

👍

wind dragon
#

The

#

H610

#

Kill the preformance?

wind dragon
wind dragon
#

Ssd 6000

#

Samsung

#

The air cooling he didnt reply yet lol

wind dragon
#

He sensed voice note he said something

#

Thermnal 3

#

And the motherboard from

#

Asus

wind dragon
#

Is it a good deal?

#

And is the pc good

vast vigil
#

memory speed is decent, and the SSD being from samsung is also decent too.

#

I'd say its a reasonable price

vast vigil
# wind dragon Kill the preformance?

H610 will limit connectivity and definitely could throttle the CPU if the VRM is pretty of bad quality (which i imagine it is), so if you were to ever upgrade your CPU, a motherboard swap is going to be something you need to do as well.

wind dragon
#

Ok

#

With the h610 i will get the pc next week

#

But with the b760 i need to wait a month more to get the money

#

Is it worth the waiting?

#

And i dont know what gpu to choose

#

3060 12 gb

#

Or

#

5060 8 gb

vast vigil
#

I'd say so yes, and it should last much longer than H610 in terms of upgrade path

wind dragon
wind dragon
vast vigil
#

The 5060 has better performance, so i'd say to just stick with that

#

the extra frame buffer/vram the 3060 has is nice, but at your current pcs spec, its not going to really be worth it

wind dragon
#

Ok got it

#

That helped so much

#

I really appreciate what you helped me with

#

I was lost lol

vast vigil
#

No problem. Hopefully everything will get to you without any problems and more importantly

#

enjoy what you have

wind dragon
#

I will , i hope you have a wonderful day

vast vigil
#

If you have any more questions later, feel free to ask and ill try to help

wind dragon
#

Yeah i have one

#

So they are saying they would download windows on it

#

Should i just let them do that

#

Or refuse and do it my own

vast vigil
#

If you're confident enough to do it on your own, i would

wind dragon
#

I am afraid it will be cracked or something

vast vigil
#

Yeah, im glad you even thought about that at all

#

if thats a concern, do it yourself

wind dragon
wind dragon
#

I should just buy a usb drive from a library

#

And thats it right?

vast vigil
#

theres plenty of tutorials out there on how to do it. the only thing you'll need is a memory stick (or two) to have the windows install media on it

wind dragon
#

Memory stick you mean

#

As

#

Usb drive?

vast vigil
#

Yeah

wind dragon
#

and they should be empty right?

#

Because i have a few but they have some photos

vast vigil
#

Nothing else should be on it, correct

wind dragon
#

Is there a storage should be minimum on each?

vast vigil
#

32GB minimum

wind dragon
#

ok ok

#

And how to get the windos on the usb

#

At the first place

#

And be safe

vast vigil
#

youll need another laptop of pc to download the files onto it

wind dragon
#

Cant i do that from my phone?

vast vigil
#

No

wind dragon
#

And i have a hdd drive

#

I can plug it into the motherboard right?

vast vigil
#

You can if you have some sata cables, yes

#

sata cables should come included with the motherboard

wind dragon
#

Bring the hdd with me

#

When i want to get

#

The pre built

#

And let them

#

Install it?

vast vigil
#

You could yeah

wind dragon
#

Is so bad and could make so many problems

#

I dont know i am thinking now i shouldn’t get a pc at all the prices are actually insane

#

And the most reasonable price for a pc with solid parts is rtx 3050 and i think it is a bad gpu

wind dragon
#

@vast vigil hey

#

So i got a pc

#

How can i shut it down

#

Completely

#

When i shut it down it still some how open

#

Even with shift + shut down
