I am looking for a PC that will run most games with good performance, but I don't care about streaming or creating and whatnot. My budget is under 1200, but I would prefer under 1000.
Im still having second thoughts about it but im upgrading from a really old pc so im not really picky with the graphics as long as it can run med-high graphics, I played games like sims 4, tekken, tomb raider and some story games, I asked some people too and they said that I might need to upgrade the vram and the ram too, which I am considering to do it but maybe in the future
Thinking about upgrading from my existing old Dell gaming laptop. Open to either a desktop or another laptop, but a bit out of touch with with current hardware spec's and capabilities.
Mostly play games like City Skylines, Sudden Strike, Civ etc rather than 1st person shooters etc. My budget is fairly flexible. Any suggestions on spec's I should be looking at ?
Hello! So you guys have been a help with knowing more about good computers esp the ones under 2000 dollars, thank you so much! Well now I have a question for the future. I am a bit of a coward with tampering with the physical computer much so if I want to get more storage in the future for games, is there a way to get an ssd card into something and just hook it up through a USB or something and would it be fine/safe to do so? I’ve heard about ssd enclosures in passing so I’m assuming it’s possible
I saw this deal at Costco and I was thinking about getting this instead of building my brother a PC. It seems alright considering that it has a 5060ti and it has 32 GB of DDR5. It’s on discount and listed at 1499$
Two options here used prebuilt pc vs new prebuilt
New
Andromeda Insights AMD Spectra Gaming PC - RX 9070 XT 16GB | Ryzen 5 9600X
With warranty and tax its about $1800
Or
Used
On market place for $1600 could probably get it for around $1300 so $500 less than the new. Twice as much storage, liquid cooled and double/faster ram. Worse cpu.
Agian this one is a fb market place deal so i wouldn't be buying from Amazon
Which would you go with?
My budget is $600 I need something that can run at least 120fps but I also know nothing about pc or computers in general my knowledge extents to chromebooks you would use in high school.
Any help is appreciated
I just recently started working and wanted to save up for a pc since i'm on mac right now and i can basically not play any games on steam, so i have a budget of around 1000$ CAD, so like 800-1200$, I just want something able to run games like Elden Ring for example with high fps and good graphics.
I’m looking for a powerful PC mainly for Unreal Engine 5 development, VR development, Blender, C++ and some AI work.
I’ve found this IONZ prebuilt for £2,459.95:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB
32GB DDR5 RAM
2TB NVMe SSD
1000W 80+ PSU
Windows 11
IONZ Aviator case
My maximum budget for the PC itself is around £2,500.
The CPU/GPU combination looks great for the price, but I’m mainly wondering about the quality of the less obvious components — motherboard, PSU, SSD, RAM and cooling — and whether IONZ/PC Gaming Cases prebuilts are reliable.
Would you buy this for £2,460, or is there a better prebuilt in the UK for under £2,500?

I've been looking for some prebuilts for 1080p gaming, some indie/triple A games nothing too much. Is this good? Based in the UK.
the specs from the website:
My budget is about $700-800 max. Reasoning: I already have a pretty good gaming pc, it’s definitely not an absolute beast, but it’s very fast with loading, mid-upper range, runs all my games smoothly on high-ultra no problem with any game I play. On some games I can even max out fps on the highest settings.
Only problem is I’m having issues with it and it’s been “broken” for over a month now, still getting it fixed.
Since then, I’ve resorted to using my old gaming pc back from dec 2021, not even 5 years old yet and it’s absolutely trash. It’s such a downgrade it gives me flashbacks to how I used to complain using it every single time. It’s just junk. I can’t even bother to play my favorite games anymore and just resort to Roblox, but better yet, can barely even play that with how slow this thing loads. This thing probably isn’t worth more than $500, but I’d rather have a new cheap pc than use this garbage.
Any recommendations for my budget? I really just need it as a backup, not my main. So definitely nothing fancy…
Hey guys I hope I’m not a bother I’m currently a console gamer& I think time ready to make the switch over to desktop gaming. My only issue is I don’t know where to look or what to look for I have a budget of 3.5k to 4k which i hear is the sweet spot. Can you guys recommend the best pre built for my price & tell me what to look for & what to avoid . I plan on doing heavy gaming, streaming & work on my desktop I currently have a legion go 2 I was going to buy the x2 mini pro or a gdp win 5 but then I was like you know what if I care about visuals performance frames why not go all the way so here I am & pc gaming gives the most freedom
Did I do good or wasted my time.
I recently wanted to get into pc gaming so I traded my switch 2 I bought for 300 dollars for a asus tuff a17 gaming laptop with a 3050ti gpu and ryzen 7 5800H cpu. But I wanted to get a desktop so today I sold that laptop for 670$ and found a desktop on marketplace. I ran the specs through chat gpt first and it said it was a amazing deal so I went for it. It has a
amd ryzen 7 3700x cpu with amd cooler
Nvidia geforce rtx 3060ti gpu
64gb of ddr4 ram
476 gb ssd
1tb ssd
Gigabyte x570 aorus elite motherboard
A tp link wifi card
Windows 11
All in a cyber power case
Then I took 100$ of the 170 I had left over and bought a acer nitro KG1 FHD 200Hz monitor i found on sale at micro center. I just want to know if I made a good call or wasted my time. I mean im having fun with it and got great fps and graphics in ready or not without touching the settings 125 average. So its already better than my laptop was ever going to be. I guess im just worried I wasted my money and will have to end up spending alot just to upgrade again.
Hi Everyone,
I am about to buy my first prebuilt gaming computer on Andromeda Insights. I am choosing a prebuilt with the option of customizing. In the custom section it asks what thermal paste to get. Since this is my first gaming PC and I don't know much about thermal paste, which should I get, check picture. Is there a difference between a $10 and a $17 Thermal Paste?
I want to head down to micro-center today to pick up a pre-built. But I’m stuck between these two. The PowerSpec one has an open box for $2150 but is it worth it if I mainly play COD, indie games and do school work? I’ll never stream or do extra stuff.
I’m also open to other options in the same price range.
I needa buy a pc im lazy what’s a good pre built that can run most games well😍
