Hi Daniel Z, thanks for providing input and a parts list. I have a question on the RAM you chose it it a slower speed and CAS Latency than G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) which is what I selected. What is the reason you went with it?

1. Budget & Location My budget aim is to land around $1500 but there is flexibility there. I am located in Denver, Colorado, USA. 2. Aim My goal here is two fold. To be able to game with Triple A titles at as high a graphics as possible with at least 60 FPS. I also do some video and audio editing my current laptop lags with both, I hope the new experience can be cleaner/ 3. Monitors Currently I run two 1920 x 1200 monitors at 60 hrz. I would like to in the future upgrade to an ultra wide at 1440 in the future. 4. Peripherals I will be sticking with my current peripherals. Also I have Windows. 5. Why are you upgrading? I haven't have a gaming PC since 2010. Also my laptop doesn't play games well at all, and they must be set to low graphics. Here is my list currently: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kvlfrog/saved/#view=bdkqpg I have one major concern which is the motherboard cpu combo. I found it on a bitwit build guide but PC Part Picker says it may need a bios flash. I have no way to do that. Please let me know your thoughts.

In that case what do you think of this machine? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-3600-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-1tb-hdd-500gb-ssd-black/6360136.p?skuId=6360136#tabbed-customerreviews

What about Intels CPUs do you not like? Is it just the threading problem?

There is this one though: https://www.microcenter.com/product/610898/dell-xps-8930-gaming-computer

What do you think of https://www.microcenter.com/product/610896/dell-xps-8930-gaming-computer?storeid=181 it looks decent to me? Never mind it is marked as sold out in Denver.

Hi LTT Forum I am planning to buy a prebuilt gaming PC under $1000. The help is I want to do this today and haven't really been up on specs since 2007. Given the rapidly evolving life situation right now a prebuilt seems smart. Building my own and getting support if pieces don't work. (Almost every machine I built in the early 2000s had one or two) Between Micro Center and BestBuy in the Denver Area which prebuilt PC would you recommend?
