PreBuilt Desktop Advice

[rafterman3482]

I made posts on here about looking for a gaming laptop but I have decided to go the smart route and get a desktop. I am a very low level novice and do not know how to build a computer or really know much about other parts except which graphics cards are better than others so i turned to pre built systems. I know people criticize that but it's all i can do.

This computer is one an expert from newegg recommended me for my price point which is about 750$. GTX 1060 seems really nice and is i5 8th gen (which i know enough to know that is better than i7 7th gen). It seems pretty good also coming with mouse and keyboard and not to mention that case looks SICK! I just want to know what you guys think about it for the price because I'd love to buy it very soon. I'll read all comments!

Don't buy 3GB GTX1060. Look for GTX1060 6GB or RX580/RX590.

This really is max I am willing to spend on a computer and 6Gb GTX 1060 i just looked at are a pretty higher price

I think most shops will build a system for free if you purchase all parts from them, at least that's how they do here.

You could probably have a list of parts serving as a guide for them, and they would build the PC and sell it to you.

 

Does your budget also include a monitor? Or do you already have a one? Other peripherals?

I was planning on buying a cheapo monitor for now but if you could recommend a website and a build for around 700$-750$ that'd be nice. I also liked the desktop because it came with keyboard and mouse.

sorry, but a gtx 1060 3GB is not somethign someone should buy in 2019........

 

is there nothing with an rx580 or gtx 1060 6GB?

 

 

id suggest maybe trying yourself building a PC. following guides to do so and reading the mobomanual will guide you along quite nicely.

No no and no...really bad value. Let me check if they have a better pre built.

I am just very new to computer building and such and don't really know how to build one at all. I am looking at options to pick parts and have whatever site to build it for me.

I would get something like this and ask a local shop if they can assemble (or do it yourself, it really isn't that hard)

corsair has a starter kit, and reddragon have theit nicer ones too. for the monitor it's either a 1080p144hz or 1440p60hz i would recommend
