Is the Abyss G50 a good first pc for gaming?

[pale raft]

What games do you intend to play on it?

[winter walrus]

its fine, you're not gonna be getting 200 FPS @ 2/4k, but you've very comfortably be able to play most games at 1080 high 100fps

it's not gonna be great for VR, not because of the GPU, but because the MoBo is very anemic as far as USB ports

load times won't be amazing as it has a HDD for the main storage, but thats easily upgraded

this might be better value https://www.pcspecialist.ie/computers-for-next-day-delivery/1383/ however the Arc GPUs are still in their infancy and have trouble with drivers, I've read most have been resolved, but it all depends on what you want to play

@blissful tide you’d likely find better value and performance from an AMD system 5600 and 6600 is a smashing combo and should come tk about the same price

[blissful tide]

Ight thanks

[blissful tide]

Things like fivem, sea of thieves stuff like that

[pale raft]

I think @fallen pasture makes a good suggestion above if that is your budget 🙂

[blissful tide]

My max is abt 1.5k

[blissful tide]

Also thank u

[pale raft]

If you can go up to 1.5k then you could get a lot more gaming PC for your money

Probably a 3060Ti build

[blissful tide]

Yeah it’s just that idk what parts to get, and also it’ll be my first pc

[pale raft]

then you've come to the right place - I can have a look at a build and others can also offer suggestions to put something together for you. Is it just the PC you need or will you need a monitor, mouse and keyboard?

[winter walrus]

if you do need a monitor, what are you looking for? 1080, 2k, 4k(probably not feasible for 1500GBP), and what sort of refresh rate?

[blissful tide]

I’ll need a whole setup, I have an idea of what mouse and keyboard imma get

Just dk about monitor

[winter walrus]

cool, is the 1500eu/gbp budget including the mouse and keyboard?

[pale raft]

So yeah, is the £1,500 budget for everything or just the PC?

[blissful tide]

Just the pc

[blissful tide]

Nope just the pc

[blissful tide]

Gbp btw

nothing great, but nothing to sniff at, the processor and GPU are straight from Master Junior, and the front USB is not compatible with any of the MoBo options, so it won't work.

the Power supply is overkill, but will allow plenty of headroom for upgrades

[fallen pasture]

Any reason for X570?

[winter walrus]

I picked what showed as available, only that and one other was available in the configurator

That or I was blind

[fallen pasture]

I'm managing to proceed with a B550 AORUS elite

Would be a more acceptable 5600 6600 build imo

There's a tonne of future upgradability built into this system. If you don't see yourself uprading at all, then we can probably spec it down a bit

I'd aim for a 1080p 144-165hz monitor with a setup like this, should make for a nice pairing

[pale raft]

This was going to be my suggestion for the base for an Intel build: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-z690-pc/uKnekSs5WD/

32GB RAM would come in at £1,510 - a smidge over budget.

[fallen pasture]

If you wanted to utilise the full budget then I'd probably just go for the same build with a better GPU. the 6800XT is a 3070TI-3080 level GPU, but is less than a 3070TI price wise. Would aim for a 1440p 144-165hz monitor for this one

[fallen pasture]

👀

[pale raft]

Or that ^ 😉

[blissful tide]

Yeah, I will take all of them into mind

Thank you all for helping

[stone pine]

Hope you get an awesome PC and don’t forget to post some awesome looking photos
