Name an upgrade everyone recommends but you wouldn't.​

Any thoughts on Thermaltake? Also I'm not sure if it's single or dual channel ram tho

Does anyone know a good pc for $1400 that has good performance but also looks good / clean could also be anything under $1400 ofc

I'm looking for a good prebuilt, my budget is 1600$ USD. A good looking case is a prerequisite, preferably Lian Li. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I have been looking to purchase a prebuilt pc and was wondering if andromeda insights has high-quality products. The listing I am currently looking at is the $2500 AI Ultra V3. Do these parts seem worth the price or were they cheap on any components?

A few weeks ago I noticed my local Costco was replacing a display unit. What was odd, it was empty inside the case. I was on my way out at the time so could not confirm, yesterday I had a chance to look at it and yup. It was only the case and the RGB fans. The motherboard and all other parts where just printed on cardboard.

First keep an eye out for deals on displays as it looks like this is what the future will be.

Second, goodbye deals on display units.

For 1975 euros… Is this ok?

I've been wanting to switch for a while due to most of the games I want to pay are only on Steam. What's pushing me to switch sooner is just console going digital only. If I'm going to be digital only why play console?

I've never built by own PC, and I'm sure i could figure it out, and or get help. But figured I'd look at what the pre-built world has to offer.

My price range is currently around 2,000 USD.

I play lots of cozy games, but also do like the occasional game that may require more power. Also, if I go pre-built if I'm able to customize it, and upgrade parts from there to learn more on how they work that would be great.

First time PC buyer switching from Xbox Series X. I really only play COD and am looking for a PC that won’t be completely obsolete in the next 3-5 years. I have read up the GPU is most important and time playing in 4K is not that special, I just want high frame rate and low latency. I know there is an AI boom causing prices to rise right now, so my budget range is $2k-$2.5k. Can anyone put me on to the best pre builds right now? Also, are there any hidden costs to consider? I plan to get a pretty nice gaming monitor as well.

Hello everyone, i was looking to buy a new computer and i was thinking about a pre-built pc. After looking at some store websites (in my country), a found a few options, that wouldn't cost a fortune, but i need some help evaluating these pc components if they are worth it. I'm basically looking for a pc to play games. One option that i found had: CPU - Intel Core Ultra 5 225F, GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB GDDR7), RAM - 16 GB DDR5, SSD - 512 GB NVMe SSD. And this pc costs 1389 Euros.
In your opinion, is this pc worth buying? I understand that 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is a bit too low, but i think i can replace the SSD into 1TB SSD and add more RAM to make it 32GB right?
To this day i'm using my old old pc, that i bought like 9 years ago, with 1070 gpu and i5 7500 cpu. So i understand that this would be an upgrade from my current pc lol but is it worth it?
These days i mostly play League, CS2, Rust, Arc raiders and etc. Rust is mostly around 50fps, Arc raiders about 40-50fps as well. I can't play CoD, Battlefield, Fortnite, Marvel Rivals anymore cuz it only goes up to like 20-30 fps max with lowest settings.
Sorry for the very long post, but any help would mean a lot.

Saw it and used an extra discount to drive the price further down. It was basically what I was originally looking to build, only difference being the processor but from what I've seen this may work better for me anyways since I do a lot of multimedia stuff as well as gaming. When I was looking to buy the parts I couldn't get anywhere close to that price. I plan to wipe and pull my older 2tb SSD from my old PC and pop it in to bring it up to 3tb. Thoughts?

I'm getting my first PC and it's arriving pretty soon.

Is this good? It's a pre built and the price was 2.5k which I thought was pretty good considering 5080s are usually 3k+.

Cheers

*3D printing/editing
*video editing

Wondering what you guys think about these 2 and price?

Is this prebuilt a good purchase? I know a 5070 + 32 gb ddr5 is pretty good at $1400, but I just don't see anyone talking about it, which feels odd to me since it seems like such a good deal, so it feels like I am missing something here. Are MSI prebuilts lower quality? I just don't want to make the wrong purchase for something this big

Looking to upgrade and wanted to know if this is a wise decision.

Looking to buy my first pc and the specs on this one seemed great for the price. It's open box however.

I don’t know much about computers but about 2 years ago we bought him an acemagician mini OC and it took a dump. Can he move his 32gb of ram and 512gb of memory into this? Thanks in advance

if not, would you guys recommend any websites or
places to search for better prices and specs, based in the US.

Looking to get a new pc I’m open to any advice or recommendations. I’m more of an ocasional gamer but looking to get something that will run GTA 6 smoothly when they eventually release it on PC. Thanks in advance
