How is this for a prebuilt system?

I spent some time trying to customize this prebuilt system to try to make it affordable (for me) and have some power behind it. I'm new to PC building so I would appreciate any suggestions or changes I should make before purchasing this PC.

(I play MOBAs, some FPS games, and casual games. I also create content using Photoshop and Blender)

Build it yourself, it's significantly cheaper.

if you build it yourself, you could get an RX 480, R5 1600 (which will help for content creation), and higher quality stuff (like faster RAM) for the same price.

You Can't find a rx 480 anywhere

I'm not to comfortable with building my own PC. I would rather have it built by someone who knows what they're doing

$900 USD for a Ryzen 5 1500X, GTX 1050Ti, and no SSD is a hard pill to swallow. I'm assuming you're new to building, that fact remains that you found yourself on LTT's forums, so you're probably cognizant of that fact that Linus has dozens of how-to build videos.  Good place to start if you've never built before.

That's changing now.

the bubble is on it's way down right now. I'd give it another 2 weeks for prices to return to MSRP, and another month after that for prices to go below MSRP, like we saw before the mining craze. (RX 480 for $160, RX 470 for $120, etc.)

Honestly, it's not that hard.

you've probably heard this a million times, but seriously... it's like legos. you can learn how to build a PC just by watching youtube.

 

this list offers a better CPU, MUCH better GPU, faster RAM, better PSU, an SSD, all for less money.

 

this does, however, rely on you being able to buy an RX 580 at MSRP, which is hard to do right now. wait 2 weeks and it should be back to normal.

All you need it the windows os of your choice

 

 

Think about building it yourself I made a parts list for you

Just watch some build guides on YouTube and you will be able to build it yourself and get the most bang for you buck.

AFAIK, blender is GPU accelerated, so an RX 480, or GTX 1060 would really help.

Why such an expensive motherboard?

Also, the supernova nex is a decent PSU, but you can get much better value for money.

I'd personally wait a bit, see if an RX 580 is possible within budget once it returns to MSRP.

also, supernova nex is a decent PSU, but you can get much better value for money.

Better, but mobo is still slightly too expensive, but that's just preference, nothing intrinsically wrong there.

PSU could go cheaper, since you haven't changed it.

also, why 3TB HDD and no SSD?

my build has an SSD and fits within budget.

True, but it's easier if it comes with an SSD.

if it fits in the budget, why not?
