Pre-built

[Coolinee_Kerman]

So I'm getting a new pre-built in about a month, and I need some recommendations for some good ones under $1000. I'm planning on doing mostly simulation games and web browsing, possibly some light CAD and/or video editing. Any recommendations?

Just upgrade the power supply. I just used CyberpowerPC for 1700 dollars build

Oh, thanks, that seems like it'll do great

Aww why is that? You'd get much better price/performance

NZXT BLD or Dell Inspiron Gaming are the best options. High end $1000+ CyberPower is also good.

 

NZXT BLD tips: don't use the entry level unit that's the cheapest, go one tier up, even if you need to spend more. Or just install another yourself after.

CyberPower: shit psu but if youll void your warranty if you change it.

DELL: pretty good PSUs by Delta

I was browsing around for a friend, and really, I think this is the best deal for $1000 when it comes to pre-builds:

 

http://deals.dell.com/productdetail/xj6

 

This comes with:

 

i7-8700

16GB RAM

GTX 1060 3GB

128GB M.2 + 2TB HDD

If you do not mind spending little more, this seems like a great system.

That GPU is disgusting.

Nevermind....That extra $150 is totally worth it to get a 1070.

Isn't the gpu price inflation because mining still a thing?

Absolutely, GTX 1050ti and above are 50%+ over MSRP.

970-980ti are good alternatives

You should look into a computer store building you a computer.

Memory Express

Maybe Bestbuy can build you one

Canada Computers if you are in Canada eh

NCIX but they are long gone to Saskatchewan (Gorb Lund Band)

Also if you aren't buying immediately, every month Dell and HP have coupons come online, check slick deals, sign up for their news letter and I think you can also select for specific areas of interest like computers.  I've seen coupons for 30% or so for their desktops, so you might be able to get a real good deal on them, but that is if you can wait and check for the coupons.

 

That Alienware one is really good.  Dell Alienware use good power power supplies, they are built by the now defunct PC Power and Cooler, Dell bought them out if I'm not mistake.
