Pre-built vs Building

[Ankh Tech]

Budget (including currency): 1000 - 1300 usd

 

Country:  Kuwait (good but not 100% availability)

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  1440p 144hz Gaming, Streaming, Video editing, Content creation

 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

So I found this prebuilt and want to compare it to any of your lists, try to beat it I couldn't

https://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Supreme-Liquid-Gaming-SLC8260A3/dp/B08FSXT6D4/ref=pd_sbs_147_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B08FSXT6D4&pd_rd_r=5fcd37e3-87a4-47ac-bfb2-f5b4f6c7ad3e&pd_rd_w=VF6ix&pd_rd_wg=xttNY&pf_rd_p=ed1e2146-ecfe-435e-b3b5-d79fa072fd58&pf_rd_r=4G2MF38A9TZQFCV51BGR&psc=1&refRID=4G2MF38A9TZQFCV51BGR

for 1300 dollars with a 3800x, AsRock 5700xt challenger pro, adata 16gb 3000mhz cl16 ram, AsRock b550 am (oem board), 1 tb nvme ssd, 120mm aio, wifi and windows 10 home, 6 usb 3.1 ports, 2 usb 2.0 ports

 

Do I buy it and upgrade later, or can someone make a list just as good?

can you ship that to Kuwait? how much would it cost?

buying locally might be cheaper.

anyway, for that budget, you should be able to get a 5600x and either a 3070 or a 6800, which would be much much better.

can you make me a list, I fail every time, because I love corsair and msi

[Vishera]

The problem is that it's not a good time to buy a GPU,and prices are too high on Amazon,

Anyway that pre-built is overpriced as well,and there are no graphics cards in Kuwait.

Why is everything overpriced. Worst thing is I can't buy anything locally, so either shipping or nothing.

[Ankh Tech]

Try changing it to the us and tell me the price

Just be aware that you might have to pay taxes and import. I'm not sure how that all works there, but that might be why it's more expensive there.

I think fedex includes taxes, I don't know I'm new to this whole shipping thing

[Downkey]

Thats not great. Here are the problems

-It's unbalanced. That 1660ti won't be taking advantage of the 3700x in gaming. 

-Its going to run hella hot. That PC is running a stock cooler with a 3700x, which is pretty... well, bad. It also looks like it has minimal airflow.

-The ram speed is 2666mhz. 

-That is just way too overpriced and just a pretty bad deal overall

WAit it doesnt use the stock cooler, im dumb LOL. But that is still going to run hot af
