Budget (including currency): 1700 aud

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I play video games such as Subnautica, Minecraft, Eve Online. I also make music, Stream (A lot) and make videos

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): I found this pc on facebook marketplace and I want to know whether it's a good deal or whether it's a scam. Keep in mind, I live in Australia so everything is overpriced. I'm looking at build 3 but it will also come with a 600W psu instead of 550W and it will come with a wifi/bluetooth adapter.

Scam. The pictures seem too good to be true, and the description is completely messed up with grammatical errors.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.
