Pre built or build one ?

[JayBee805]

What’s up guys , I just bought the new Asus rog Swift 4K 144 hz monitor . I want a pc that can games at 4K smooth or close at least ? I was thinking of getting the Corsair one pro plus pre built for 3k , but I was wondering what I could do with 3k if I don’t go the pre built route ?

I'd go with an 8700k instead just cause it's performance is pretty much the same and it's a heck lot cheaper.

but he has 3000$, the 8086k is limited editon and its slightly higher-binned so it would OC slightly better.

the 8700k is ~330$ while the 8086k is 380$

No, I do not . That’s why I was considering the Corsair one pro plus pre built but it seems like I can build a more powerful pc for less

One can definitely build as good or better a pc for less
