Which set is better value

[ezio313]

So I want to buy a used pc to play competitive (warzone,Fortnite) and open world games at 1080p 144hz.

1st set: 600$

Core i7-8700 

RAM 16.0 GB 1 stick 2666hz

GRAPHICS CARD - 1660 TI 

1TB HDD

256 GB SSD

Mobo boistar b360mhd pro2

Case xigmatic prosper

Power supply 600w (he doesn't know the brand)

2nd set 750$

Core I5-10400

RAM 2X 8 GB stick 3200hz (I know the Mobo and CPU will cap at 2666hz)

GRAPHICS CARD - 2060

2TB HDD

120 GB SSD

Msi b460 mortar wifi

Case cougar panzer g

Power supply 600w

Water cooling xigmatic aurora 240 (hate water cooling)

What do you think guys? The main advantage of the 750$ is the dual channel and 2060 vs 1660ti. But is it worth the extra 150$?

 

Budget (including currency): 600-750

Country: lebanon

The cost increase is pretty much justified, not to mention you also have a better upgrade path with the B460 motherboard for something like a 10 core CPU if you absolutely needed it.

im not sure either one of those is going to be a solid 144hz machine going forward. you might have to dip the resolution quite low to hit that. the second machine seems ok for the price , the 128gb ssd will fill up fast

I agree, however I will buy a new system with i5 12th gen and 3060 once GPU prices are back to normal.hopefully next year. Im aiming to 100+,after 100 I can't differentiate. Also I will sell the 120 ssd and 2tb HDD and buy a new 500 gb ssd

12th gen will require a new motherboard.

Yes exactly, that's why I'll build a brand case next year(in case 3060 ti goes back to msrp)

If you're going to buy a whole new system later on, saving money now is better

I can't think of a number. I don't know anything about warzone.
