Need advice on the SPECS for a Pre Built PC

[Avionon]

Hi there,

 

So the current system I have built is about 4.5 years old now and it's clear that I am not getting that crisp performance that I once had all those years ago when I first bought it. I really don't have the time to go through the process of building a new one due to work commitments and just life tasks in general. So, I was wondering what you thought of the specs on this Pre Built PC. I may look for something else at a slightly higher budget but I'd like to know that I am on the right path.

 

Here are the SPECS: 

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
• GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE AX
• 8GB PCS PRO DDR4 2666MHz
• 6GB GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER
• 256GB PCS 2.5" SSD
• 250GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2

8 gb ram isn't enough for gaming. 256 m.2 nvme is fine for boot drive but only having 500 gb storage total is not ideal. If the 1660s is able to play the games you want, that should be fine. 1660s is just a little bit better than a 3050 for reference.

Not a fan of only 8 gb of ram and the storage configuration. Also the 1660 super is a bit old. You can usually get better deals on prebuilts with newer parts as alot of these older prebuilts don't update their prices when better alternatives come out.

Very much a "we buy these motherboards in bulk for cheap, but it should worth more in the eyes of our buyers so let's cheap it out elsewhere to maintain this price tag" feel to me. That said you didnt state the price so I couldnt judge that.

 

I would go for the 5600X over the 5600G, but the worst thing is how little RAM (and slow RAM on top of that) it has. It's unbalanced.

It's about $2,141.08 for that particular unit. From the replies, it's clear that this rig is not up to standard. I am glad I checked here first before committing to anything.

I'm mostly going to be using it for gaming, but I always play Left 4 Dead 2. The current rig I have is beginning to struggle to maintain over 100fps on certain maps

This is gonna be shit tier RAM, replace immediately. I'd recommend a midgrade 32GB kit because it's cheap right now

256GB PCS 2.5" SSD

I'd also replace this off the bat with a 1TB SATA SSD

 

These two upgrades should run 2-300 bucks on top of the prebuilt, are fast and easy to do, and will make your life with the tower MUCH easier

The census I am getting is to essentially keep looking for something better and more up to date. Keep in mind, I do want something that will allow me to play games like Left 4 Dead 2 with high fps rather than barely scraping over 160fps on certain maps.

That should cost no more than a grand. This is less money for more computer even with the cost of a costco membership.

The AIO may die after a few years and the airflow isn't stellar, but this is a great start.

Alright thank you!

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will now go back to the drawing board and see what other and better options I have. I really appreciate the help.

Haha more than $2000 for this ? Can only be from Overprice Computer !!

It's not even good, what you should get at least is :

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X
• B550 board
• 16GB  DDR4 3200MT
• GTX 1660 SUPER o RTX3050, but preferrably a RX6600
• 1TB M2

And that shouldn't even cost $1200

I will find something else and before going through with it I will consult the knowledgeable people here. I would have been none the wiser about all this.

Consider getting the PC from the below quote. This computer is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the one you were looking at originally in every way. It even comes with 1 TB of NVME ssd and 16 gb memory. It will do exactly what you want, at a lower price.

For 2000 usd you can get a significantly better pc. I like neweggs abs brand prebuilts personally or if you have a local microcenter their powerspec brand are good deals as well. After that I would look at ibuypower and cyberpowerpc as sometimes they have good deals but it is hit or miss sometimes.
