Pre-Built Pc tower for 2,000$ USD

[AlaskanStrat]

I have an awesome Laptop that i want to use for streaming ( 1070 Gpu , 16gb ram , 7700k ) but i don't want to game on it and stream on it at the same time . I have managed to save 2,000$ USD and want to 'purchase an actual desktop. I'm not good at building from scratch so i would like to get something pre built for about 2000$ . Looking for at least 1080 GPU 7700k Cpu  or better , 16GB of Ram and at least 512GB M.2 or SSD and 1Tb of HDD. Prefer to not have a liquid cooled system . Anyone know of any companies that will sell a pre built system with these specs for around 2,000$? I have checked Orgins site and it's so over complicated with options and i don't get to see any of the IO on the GPU's . Any help would be most appreciated . Also would love to see a full size desktop and not the compact small form . Thanks

you can try CyberPowerPC

 

They use off the shelf parts for the PC and it comes with their own warranty for faulty parts

I've read many horror stories regarding cyberpowerpc.

 

Buy the parts yourself and have it assembled at a local computer shop.

Thing is i live in the middle of nowhere Alaska and there isn't a computer shop for over 600 miles from where i live so to have it delivered pre built to my house would be the best option considering it's 15$ a pound to ship anything to my town .

Puget Systems is another company that uses off the shelf parts. Ive never done business with them, but they might be a good choice. They are based out of the state of Washington. Though Not sure if they could build something for you, for that budget. Graphics cards have gone up in price by a lot. Not to mention, RAM is also Ridiculously priced due to shortages. 

 

Also, many fully loaded gaming rigs can be up to 50lb in weight. Thats about $750 shipping. Is that coming out of your budget? If so, you may have to lower your specs.

This actually looks kind of perfect:

Their non-custom assembly line models aren't that bad AFAIK, it gets wary when you go custom.

Thanks for the suggestion , i'll take a look for sure . Seems crazy for 2,000$ you can't build a system with the specs i want .

Ive looked at building a new system myself. Its not the time. You might be better waiting to see if pricing gets any better. Unless you need one now.

Puget has A+++ customer support. Answered a bunch of tech related queries, and long & detailed at that. Also told me a bunch of things were essentially a waste of money for my needs (e.g. SLi).

they have a 1 year warranty period for all the parts in the desktops

 

even after the warranty period ends and parts fail

 

you can easily swap them out with newer parts

 

the case is CoolerMaster

 

the motherboard is Asus, MSI and Gigabyte to name a few brands they used

What do you guys think about this , Micro Center in Denver is willing to ship to me for free also . Seems to meet my specs and has a lot of internal room for good circulation and expansion. http://www.microcenter.com/product/496896/Titanium_GXH7B01l_Desktop_Computer

Looks like a very decent deal. The motherboard is not very good, but should be fine, and the PSU should be replaced. 

A budget one would cost ~$50, and a tier 1 PSU would cost ~$80.

Please don't make blanket statements for PSU brands. EVGA has the B1, B3, BT, BV, N1 and W1. As well as the overpriced G1

well obviously i will not ask him to pick the sub par PSUs

 

The B3 series is still way better than the ThermalTake PSU

 

Depend on the sale

 

He can pick up the G3 series

It might not be obvious.

 

Well, yes, but it's still not great. And the CX/M usually costs about the same.

 

The G1 is a group regulated unit, so it'll have to cost less than the CX/M to be good.

 

The G3 is quite noisy, there are usually quieter PSUs for the price. Even the G2 is quieter.

What i currently own in terms of PSU is the Corsair CX430M which was the pre-grey label version

 

there is def misinformation of the PSU, because that PSU is used in my HTPC in the living room and it still runs fairly well.

 

yes it on the noisy side but when you are watching videos, you can hardly hear the fans and the PC is in the TV cabinet

 

 

The other brand i used is the CoolerMaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1300 watts Unit and the CoolerMaster VSM550 watts unit

 

The 1300W at full power sounds like a jet engine

 

while the 550 barely hear it humming on my dad's PC

 

I dont hear any complains about the G3 being noisy

 

it could be bad units out there

I appreciate the suggestions in PSU . I don't know much about brands so the suggestion for EVGA is helpful.

if you can travel to best buy in anchorage i would go there and buy a prebuilt, they have some great deals there, i think i saw an 8700k with a 1080 there for $1800 at my local best buy

Are you talking about the CX430M? For an HTPC, it should be fine, but for something with a dGPU, something better is adviced. And it's hard to know if a PSU actually works, because a PSU with a blown capacitor can send enough ripple to kill the components, even if the PC is still powering on. An oscilloscope is what you need to test that.

 

A high wattage PSU will of course be noisy. More heat.

 

The lower wattage models are fine, but the higher wattage ones have really aggressive fan curves. Cybenetics has testing for some of the G3 models.
