Hello,

 

Consol guy from Denmark here, looking to join the pc gamers!

Got an offer for what I think is a pretty goo pc the other day. 

 

The pc was brand new, equiped with an I5-9400 and a RTX 2060 for 884,874 USD (converted from DKK at the time of writing).

It's quite a bit more than I spent on my ps4, but less than my macbook (which is a terrible gaming experience, and the reason I consider upgrading).

 

Just wanted to hear what you guy think? I dont't have the exact specs on deck, but I'll ask about the SSD capacity and so on next monday. For now what do yout think of the CPU and GPU combination?

I don't think your price is accurate.
If it is, buy a house instead. And a Lambo.

 

Also, converting your currency to USD means nothing, as the pricing and availability of parts isn't the same in both regions. So any value calculation will be way off.

 

It's a decent pairing, but I'd see if you can find a Ryzen 3600 system.

Comma vs period

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

9400 is very near end of life.  Not enough thread space.  Probably why it is being sold.  9400 means possible super cheapass motherboard. 
 

what case?

what motherboard?

what ram?

what storage?

is it a prebuilt? If so possible additional problems.  what model?

 

3600 system? Prolly not. 2600 system may be possible.  

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

There's three numbers after the period. I don't think they break their currency down that far.
