Posted March 17, 2025 Not sure if this is the right thread for this. In the next few months I am looking to upgrade. Budge of $1500 US. I am not sure if I should go prebuilt and be done with it, or build it myself. Anyone have recommendations for a quality Prebuilt? Playing games like Hunt: Showdown. BG:3, and Looking to get into Dune Awakening. I downloaded the Dune Awakening Load Test they have and it said I could play on low settings, but there were times when it froze for a second. Requirements for Dune. https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/dune-awakening-system-requirements I am also looking into playing the Nascar 25 when it comes out by iRacing. I do like good Graphics, but performance is the Primary. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1605642-prebuilt-desktop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find a prebuilt that will run your games well, then put all the parts into pcpartpicker and see the price difference. proud owner of a AMD Athlon 64 cpu PSU tier list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/edit?gid=1973454078#gid=1973454078 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1605642-prebuilt-desktop/#findComment-16684189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
