Best price for pc???

[Sebastian23]

I have been making a lot of topic things with a lot of different budgets and I wanted to know what budget I should do for a sweet spot

[GDRRiley]

700-1000$

[Sebastian23]

Btw $7000 is max but it would take me a year to make that (I dont have a "real" job I'm 10-20 years old because I'm not giveing my age away

Depends on what you do really: gaming, video editing, rendering, modelling...

Dafuq 7 Grand?

 

You can go for a $1000 PC and get a really nice 1080p gaming machine, or if you really have some money to spare, go for a $1750 or $2000 build, and get a 4K Beast, with a  1080Ti.

1440p or 4k Gaming editing/animation

[JJVGaming]

PC only and if you always want 60+ frames:

 

1080p - $1000

1440p - $1300

4k - $1800+

few grands but that also depends on if the price for pc is just pc alone or monitor and peripherals included, i feel this question is too broad

Everything included even OS sorry for being so broad

[Sebastian23]

Now that I think about it I should have said a lot more about what It will need to do

so a R7 1700 costs around $300, a 1080 Ti in SLI costs around $1500 since it would be more capable of 4K 60fps

 

So with motherboard, storage and other stuff I would say the total cost for PC alone is around $2500 mark

 

Then with a decent 4K monitor for $500 or more and some peripherals then I'd say $3500

 

So basically half of the budget you have

 

[rn8686]

Defiantly not need to spend 7K+, you can get something 4K capable for under 2K easily (around $1600).

There isn't really any such thing as a "sweet spot".... depends on a great many factors out there. 4k gaming and rendering I might suggest x299 or x399 + 1080ti SLI, but you could just as easily go something like R7 1700-1800x and 1080 and have an excellent rig. depends on so many factors.

 

for a $7000 budget you could buy the best system with all the best enthusiast grade components, custom water cool the whole thing and still have a whole lot left over. You would almost have to try to be wasteful to spend that kind of money on a personal machine.

There is a sweet spot, in-so-far as you get more than 1% improvement in performance for 1% increase in cost, up to a point, and beyond that point you get less than 1% improvement in performance per 1% increase in cost. It looks like a 1050 can be picked up for around $75 new, which (just guessing/ didn't actual work out the USD/FLOP ratios or anything) is probably the 'budget sweet spot'.  Obviously demanding titles in 4K aren't going to run on a 'budget/sweet-spot' machine...

Snip

My point is everyones definition of "sweet spot" is different, and everyones desires in a build are different. there is no point in building a $300 "sweet spot" pc made out of used components if his intent is 4k gaming. that $300 PC, as good as it may or may not be, simply will not cut it for his needs. if a guy has a budget of $7000 there is no sense in recommending a $800 build simply because its my interpretation of what a "sweet spot" is.

 

as far as 1% performance increase per 1% price increase goes.... the scaling ratio of pc price:performance (when included against the cost of the entire system) is a great deal more linear than a lot of youtubers and tech reviewers would have you believe. There are certainly pitfalls to bring you off this path, and beneficial computer investments which do not translate into raw performance (such as increased storage space), but largely speaking buying a faster CPU or better GPU of higher bandwidth RAM or whatever... these things scale fairly well based on their price.

I agree with you. No point in recommending a budget sweet-spot build to someone that wants to build an extreme $7000 build for the most extreme gaming performance...(which is the absurdity of the initial post that has been alluded to a fair bit...)

There might be a fairly large price range where price/performance is linear when total system cost is factored in (eg., a wide sweet-spot) but the extremes are definitely out of the budget sweetspot (eg., SLI 1080Ti is not the sweetspot, for sure...)

Why did you post it then if things are gonna change by then?

 

In my opinion, the best price/perf right now is gonna be around $1000 range for the tower itself, 1600+1070 is what I'm thinking of.

If you're looking for the sweet spot, as I said the $1000 range is where it's at.
