So i found this PC

And a $90 rx 460

And i was wondering, would it be cheaper or easier just to buy this machine and put a GPU in that or make a new one?

 

Reasons to do this:

1. Easier

2. Maybe cheaper

3. IDK i just like the case design

 

And its up against

same price, better.

Only thing is with a pre built you might have to ask them to but the card in for you at the store you bout it from because if you open the pc you void the warranty.

Yes, it's deffo wiser to buy the Asus and the RX460 however the PSU in the spec list for it is kinda worrying...

 

Quote

200 W Peak

300 W Peak

Ermmmm...peak rated PSU...so what it's telling me is it cannot supply 200/300 Watts of power...
