Pre-builds

[matio57]

WAIT! Before you savage me with comments that the PC master race must build their own to survive, I have some questions about some pre-built systems I have found. I don't have a fixed budget but all I want is the best value for my money. Having done some research (or a lot) I have some ideas as to what I'd like, nominally >60 fps 1080p gaming and a bit of CAD work. See my previous posts r.e. builds I'm considering. 

 

Are these builds worth it even though they're pre-built;

I wouldn't even bother with an i3. Either the G4560 or Ryzen.

What is your total budget?  

 

I don't recommend an i3. not the greatest.

Cool. What Res? 

[matio57]

So in short, it's a solid no on the i3  I thought as much, just looked like it may have been a good deal

Would love 1440p but I think I'd rather save and go higher fps 1080p for now then in a couple of years up my GPU and monitor to 1440p
