Pre-Built gaming computer no more than $1800 USD

[NickG2018]

My friend is looking to buy a new gaming computer. He is looking for the best possible gaming pc for around 1800. He mainly plays rocket league, COD: Modern Warfare, CS:Go, and Battlefield. Any input is appreciated!

Is building a system possible? Most pre-built systems have a fair amount of flaws.

Plus you can get better performance from handpicked parts

If you MUST have a prebuilt:

CyberPower:

$1799 - https://cyberpowerpc.com/system/Microsoft-Store-Ultimate-Gaming
$1785 - https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Syber-C-Xtreme-400

 

Digital Storm:
 

$1716+ - https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=2071288

Origin PC:
 

$1707+ - https://www.originpc.com/configurator/neuron

Maingear:

$1416+ - https://store.maingear.com/boutique/pc/configurePrd.asp?idproduct=3212

 

iBuyPower:

 

$1699 - https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Gaming-RDY-L20IBG204
 

• Currently the iBuyPower PC seems to be the best deal at $1699 as it beats out the CyberPower PCs by $100 while having a 9900KF vs 9900K.
• None of the prebuilts other than the iBuyPower and CyberPower PCs will be at the $1800 price range with a Nvidia 2070 Super

 

Here's a LTT secret shopper on some of these companies and how their PCs may stack up in areas OTHER than performance specs.

Going with a custom build will definitely save you a bunch of $$$ though, but I can understand why you might want to buy a prebuilt

Im his friend looking for the computer... I dont have any experience building a computer. I previously owned a prebuilt digital storm computer but its very out dated, and wanted an upgrade. Which out of those would you suggest be the best for the money i can spend?

Based on specs alone I'd go with the iBuyPower PC.
