Best Pre-Made Gaming PC Around 700 USD

[ChiefRobb]

Does anyone know anything good for gaming around $700 with a networking card? It would be great as my research has put me to a halt.

PS This is for a gift to a younger sibling who plays a lot of Minecraft and non graphically demanding games so the graphics card does not have to be amazing. Also please note this need to be premade because no one is able to help him build a computer and he is only about 10 years old.

I built my first PC when I was that age. It was old parts but still

Let me just say, he is not the smartest and building a pc would not be an option.

agreed, I was about 11 when I built my first one (this was before video build guides existed too). Give him access to google and the parts and it makes for a great learning opportunity.

Have you seen the video where Linus's 3 year old son builds a PC?

Yes but Linus did most of the work in that video and at the end I don't think his son remembered much on how to build a computer. So Linus' son helped him not build it all by himself.

yep, Linus did the heavy lifting

for 700 bucks and if you NEED a prebuild go to cyberpowerPC or something and build one there. it will ship built. but i would still say you should have him build one as a learning experience

[Misanthrope]

Premade is though those machines always incluye far too good of a processor with a far too poor of a GPU (why pair a 1050ti with an i7 6700 for example, makes no sense).

 

My suggestion would be getting a barebones and then the rest of the parts you need like this:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Shuttle-SH170R6-Skylake-Chipset-Dual-channel/dp/B016B6B6GI/ref=pd_sbs_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1MF73YJ8TQWJCZQD486G

 

If you drop ram, ssd an i5 6500 and a 1050ti for example you should come at or below 700 but still have something much more better and reasonable priced than most prebuilt rigs, good middle of the road between doing everything yourself and prebuild.

But still, just show him an LTT video and help him along the way, building a PC is like building an advanced Lego building.

Someone want a pre built then give him that. Or tell him to hire @ShadowTechXTS to buikd it for but srsly how hard is it to recommend a prebuilt? It's like recommending a laptop

2G data and LTT forums don't go well together, double post
