That's great for you and others capable. The guy clearly asked for prebuilt recommendations, telling him "duh dude learn what are stupid" isnt helping him. I understand, and so do most, that building them is something anyone can teach themselves. But again for those with money, there is nothing wrong with paying for the convenience. Dogging on people who want to play on PC for buying a prebuilt instead of welcoming them to the community is one of the many reasons PC master race became a meme. I mean, just look at all of 21s replies in this section. Lol |

No reason to get contentious. Just because something is simple for you doesn't mean it's simple for everyone. I'm sure hes appreciative of your input. Lol. Have a good one, J. |

Keep it civil ladies. If OP wants to buy a pre-built, OP is going to buy a pre-built. It's their money to spend after all.
You both came to the same conclusion anyway, pre-builts are over-priced and use cheap/lackluster components to maximise profits, but it's OP's money to spend- so why argue the same point at each other? 3CH wrote I mean, just look at all of 21s replies in this section. Lol What's that supposed to mean? "Lol". |

I bought a prebuilt from ibuypower and it's terrible. I spent $1.1k 2 years ago for a 1060 3gb, i5 build. Graphics card crashes constantly, USB ports are loose, small storage drives. Just do yourself a favor and learn about PCs or just take someone else's build list and do it yourself. Like 21 said. They use cheap parts to maximize profits. |

3CH wrote I just appreciate all your great insight is all ;) Hmmm.. Either way, everyone is allowed their own opinion, just keep it civil. Seems you both agree on the main points anyway. Let's just make sure not to derail this thread to much, and get OP the help he is looking for. OP; On topic, I'd have to agree with pretty much everyone else, and like I already said, pre-builts are a waste of money. If you want to waste your money, that's fine, but I can't help much with pre-builts because I barely pay any attention to them whatsoever. Your best bet for a pre-built is to find somewhere that will at least let you know the motherboard+PSU being used. Even better if they give you some options, so that you don't end up with a piece of shit useless PSU like most pre-builts. That said, for a £600 pre-built, you're looking at an R3 3100/3300X and if you're really lucky, a GTX 1660 Super. More likely a GTX 1650 Super though with that budget. You're also going to get a budget case, motherboard, and PSU, as well as most likely a pretty basic 500GB SSD with no HDD. So, I guess just google something like "R3 3100/3300X, GTX 1650/1660 Super" and see what you can find. |

Just curios. What would £750 get my friend if he was to build it himself?
Request still stands, just need PC parts. Thanks |
