Decent Prebuilts

[qwik]

Budget (including currency): $900 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends, Baldur's Gate 3

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): Looking for a prebuilt PC as I am new to desktops, previously used a gaming laptop. Budget is tight as I am looking for something to be purchased soon. Wondering if this prebuilt seems okay for running Apex, Baldur's Gate, and maybe some games that might be more intensive like Cyberpunk 2077. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/skytech-gaming-nebula-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i5-12400f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-500gb-nvme-ssd-black/6537311.p?skuId=6537311

The 3050 will probably poop itself in Cyberpunk; you can get a better GPU at this price if you're patient. You don't want a 3050 at 800+ dollars.

 

Amazon, Newegg, and Walmart, among others, can be good places to look for occasional good deals. For new prebuilts I would look for a 3060 ti, a 4060, a 6700, or better. Dont forget to factor in a monitor and keyboard into your budget if you don't already have one.

 

P.S. If you're willing to search your local used market you could get a really good deal.

This one, for example, seems decent. (You could probably still find a better on if you're patient)
