Prebuilt For a Friend

[vK 3 1 RON]

Before we start going into Pre-built vs Custom Built, yes I know custom is better, yes I have a custom, but this is for my friend, he's not going to build one himself despite everything. A very 'plug & play' attitude. Therefore, I'm asking for your opinions on any good pre-built you know of - the casual 60 fps 1080p AAA games is most likely what he's looking for, not 1440p. He was taking a look at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191931524939 , but I thought the PSU could be a little iffy, opinions on that are appreciated too. Finally, he doesn't need a monitor just the tower and the price point is £700 - $874.88 but please do take into account tax fees if you're gonna give me a link to a US site <3 

 

Regards

vK

I have the exact same build and let me tell you, it will shred any game in 1080p even push it to 2k and with some adjusting to the settings you can even push it to 4k with the 6gb vram.

I remember asking for a prebuilt - not for a custom one. I'm fully aware that my friend could get better for custom building. But he nor his father wants to do it.

Why don't you do it? I've built PCs for family members, I've only ordered help to my one cousin after building for free, I've charged anyone else who needed troubleshooting after I built them. Not a lot.. Like $10-$20

Sorry, I'm an idiot - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-I5-7500-Gaming-Pc-Computer-SSD-16Gb-GF-GTX-1060-6GB-G3-/122073348621?hash=item1c6c237a0d:m:myB1KDpJkF7ZXdvJkiTEKrw

 

Seems alright besides the ungodly ugly case. While I'm not a fan of EVGA's PSUs outside of NA it's not bad

Because I doubt he'd trust me with £700 worth of stuff.

Just ask him.. Tell him he can get much better performance and it'll last longer

Until something breaks and @vK 3 1 RON gets blamed and ruins a friendship over it. Trust me, building a PC for friends and family that you don't plan on supporting until they decide to buy a new one is a bad idea. Always get something with a warranty so you can just give them a number to call so they'll be angry at somebody else.
