Need prebuilt gaming pc advice

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a good prebuilt? It's for a nephew that isn't interested in building one. Budget around 1300, I saw a digital storm but I've never bought prebuilt so I'm not sure of reliability of different brands

Thanks

For 1300, you should just build your own and then give it to him and tell him it's prebuilt by you.

Advice for buying a pre-built = Don't buy them.

Why don't ya build for him ?

Getting a pre-built currently will be sub par not to mention being lousy in performance as well, compared of what you can do for literally 800 or 700 bucks.

This guy is a really good Youtuber, you should show your nephew this if you want to convince him to build his own PC for a better performance/price ratio:

Where (country) and what currency?

[Guest Kloaked]

OP, are you able to build PC's? If you can, you should just build it and give it to him.

 

 

 

OT: are you actually eating cereal? Like, right now?

Color theme?

[Guest]

Colors don't matter case is going to be corsair h450d

[Derpologist]

Whoa whoa whoa...you dont need a 450D. That's a big ass case for SLI setups and watercooling. I would go with something like an H440 or a Spec-01. Unless you *really* want the 450D

[Derpologist]

Here are two builds. One has an AMD cpu, and the other Intel. I went with the Spec-01, but you can change it to the 450D if you want.

Brilliant! Thanks, I think he will like the spec 01 better, great info, should i spend a little more and get the i5 6500?

If you can afford it, but going with a skylake platform means you have to use DDR4 and get a different motherboard. Make sure the motherboard has an m.2 slot (at least for the AMD one)  so you can use the M.2 drive I included

[Guest]

Thanks for the info, he is stoked!did the i5 6500 just a few more dollars, thanks again

I couldn't get the 80i gt to fit in the case, any other suggestions?

I've done a build in this case with an H80i GT. It is possible to fit it in where the exhaust fan goes.

Really?, I tried it in the exhaust and the top edge won't fit, I'll try again thanks

How are you installing it? It took me two people to do it. You need to put a fan on one side of the radiator, and then put a fan up against the inside of the case at the exhaust port. Then screw in the radiator to the fan. If this doesnt, work, send me some pictures on here. Remember you can re-orient the radiator however possible.
