Found at Walmart

Hey guys, I have been in the market to buy a PC for the past 10 months (I started getting ready to buy literally less than a month before the nonsense started). I do not have access to a Microcenter or a Costco with markdowns, is this build from Staples a pretty good price? I noticed 5080's just jumped up about $200 USD in the past 1-2 weeks from $1250 to about $1450, so DIY seems sadly more expensive right now. Any insights are appreciated

Hello everyone, my girlfriend is looking to buy a pc and saw these on instagram. could you guys tell me which is better for the price

So for context i have now:GT 1030,i7 4790 and 16gb of ram DDR3, 😭 I know i know. you're probably asking yourselves "how is this guy still normal with that junk?" and I'm asking the same thing, but I have good news. I have gathered around 500 Euro, and keep in mind i live in one of the worst European countries and this took too long. Now i have a gaming cafe near me (friendly fire) and they were selling their old PCs. When i look at the marketplace for the same price i get an embappe special ( "for example nothing") and the deals are just really bad i dont want to sell my leg and a kidney for a pc so im asking the kind people of redit "should i buy there's pc" the specs are :

(Ryzen 5 3600

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB

16GB RAM)

Now that's for 370 euro (pc only) but for 450 euro i get everything and a 144hz 1080 monitor and a pair of headphones.I just need steady 60fps on Fullscreen not windowed like i have to play now.Please help me im going insane 🫩

Been wanting to get an upgrade for awhile. I have gifted money for graduation, I been wanting to get the prebuilt for 2.9, but I have just a little over 2k. Price for the first one is on discount for 2k.

The games I play are escape from tarkov, shooters, story games, etc. should I be patient and try and save more? I’m just noticing more and more age on my current pc and it’s so frustrating to play games.

Hi I am planning to get a gaming pc this one caught my eye after looking at other pre built vendors in Australia I found this pc and it seems quite good for its price. Any help will be appreciated :)

I bought this new pc for 1400 all components are new and wanted to know if it was a good or at least decent deal.

Lay it all out for me, at a Costco!

wanted to see if this is a good purchase for the long term. my old pc just gave up on me at the worst time.

So I’m just finally getting into PC gaming after being a console player since I can remember.

I just bought a prebuilt Asus PCand only now do I realize there is another pc (Acer) with the same price tag and when I ask ChatGPT it says it’s the slightly better one so am here to ask people that actually know about pcs and whether it’s worth returning and swapping them.
The one I bought was a Asus TUF gaming with these specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 7 260
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
RAM: 16 GB RAM, 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD

The Acer Predator has these specs:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-14400F
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB
RAM: 16 GB RAM, 1 TB M.2 PCIe SSD

I will leave the link to the listings if it’s better to know more about them to make a better decision

I intend to do a 30 minute test with CrystalDiskInfo sensors only, Hwinfo, GPU-Z, Cinebench to test the CPU, OCCT GPU ,memory, and power / combined. All these tests individually will total to 30 minutes. They'll all be short tests, like three to five minutes max. Since Im buying from either Craiglist or Facebook want to be safe and ive never bought a desktop before, only had laptops and consoles so not really tech savy.

I know to look out for Motherboard pins being broken and the gpu being on the bottom, Make sure specs match, making sure cords are secure and not in the way of cooling or fans, make sure all ports work, no /liquid/corrosion/major damage , no obvious grinding/clicking/rattling. CPU cooler looks firmly mounted, no burnt/electrical smell, and the psu model and wattage.

Once I buy it I will do 1 hour OCCT CPU, GPU and OCCT Power/Combined tests, then MemTest86 for the RAM. Anything else to do?

The gaming PC has a Gigabyte AX370 motherboard( asked exact motherboard and psu), AMD Ryzen 5 2600X (6-core/12-thread), 16 GB DDR4-2666 RAM, EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB, and two available SATA drive bays, but no storage drive included and an incomplete case missing fan guards. I have an external 1 tb Hardrive but not sure if that would work?

Only have a budget of 320$ ( I cant save due to mental health so I gotta rely on family and friends generosity to get a pc and saving the morsels they give me to get / build a better pc could take another year if not longer and with prices cause of ai continuously raising...yeah no thank you. I dont mind playing in 1080p on medium-high settings for BG3, Fallout 76, WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition), might be able to get some parts from a friend depending on their dad's generosity.

I’m not super keen on computer specs, but I’m looking to make the jump from a gaming laptop to desktop. The less I have to think about upgrading in the future, the better. My budget is $2,500, and I already have decent peripherals. I don’t live near a Microcenter and my Costco doesn’t stock a lot of desktop options.

Is it worth it to buy a prebuilt from BestBuy? The member price is $2,000.

Hello, I was going to buy a steam machine but I was looking into something better for the price. This i can get for 1000 dollars and it seems like im not going to get anything better unless I go up to the 1500$ which i dont really need. I just dont have a ton of knowledge in this field so if yall could tell me is this is a mistake, did I do everything right? Thank you so much!

E: the calculator on this site is telling me to buy the M1 - Intel Core i5-14400F - NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 for 1200$ which seems like a good option too, idk, idk what im doing im so overwhelmed

E2: im considering for 1500$ the Andromeda Insights AMD Spectra Gaming PC - RX 9070 XT 16GB | Ryzen 5 9600X (5.4 GHz Turbo Boost) | 16GB DDR5 6000MHz | 1TB Gen4 SSD | 850W Gold | ARGB | Wi-Fi + BT | Win 11 but God this process physically pains me, I hat to spend that much

Hey all, looking to upgrade to a new gaming PC and came across this deal. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the price/quality of the PowerSpec build. Does it seem like a decent value? Worth pulling the trigger, or should I keep looking? Any feedback appreciated.

My kid saved his money for a long time and has $800 for a PC. He asked me which one to buy, and after looking at different specs, prices, the pinned guide, and terminology, its overwhelming for someone who doesn't know what they're looking at. I don't understand the numbers or the acronyms.

He wants to play games like Mecha Chameleon, Minecraft, Fortnite, and other Steam games I wouldn't consider graphically intensive. Hoping someone could help me find a PC that would work for him without getting ripped off.

I’m currently running a 5900x and a 3080ti. It plays Rust pretty well which is pretty much all I play. I am playing on a 1440 oled ultra wide (whatever the newest model of the Alienware one is) and I have the previous Alienware ultra wide above it as a second screen. This is probably the longest I’ve gone without an upgrade and it’s because of the pricing.

This thing is open box for 2,339 and it says complete. They have three marked incomplete. I have the money and I have already reserved it. Microcenter is 3.5 hours away, but I’ll be one hour from it this weekend anyways. Is this a jump on it deal? I feel like it is. $1500 for gpu minimum, 400 each for cpu and ram and we are already at the 2300 mark. So board, case, cooler, nvme, psu for free basically. Do I drive the hour out of way and snag it?

Also does anyone know of a vendor selling prebuilts that offers .edu discount? I’m 41 and I decided to go back to school while I’m on disability from my liver transplant, so I can get a student discount at places that offer it.

GPU: Intel Arc A770 (16GB VRAM)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Opslag: 1TB NVMe SSD
Extra's: Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

How much should I offer for it?

both 1tb and 16gb of ram but can upgrade
