Friend is looking for a prebuilt. Budget up to $3k, but I’d hate for him to overspend and I’m sure he doesn’t NEED a $3k pc. Need advice.
Hey all. My friend wants to get into higher end PC gaming. He wants 4k60 capability for single player games and 1440p144 on max settings for competitive games. I haven’t built a Pc since 2022, but I feel like he’d only really need a 9070xt or a 5070ti at most? I’d love some advice or direct recommendations. We ARE near a microcenter.

Avoid MXZ PC / Newegg Marketplace for prebuilts
Just a warning for anyone considering an MXZ prebuilt through Newegg because this has turned into an absolute shitshow.
I ordered an MXZ PC through Newegg almost a month ago. First shipment gets a delivery exception. After days of nothing I contact MXZ and they admit it was their mistake. Somehow instead of shipping the PC to me, they shipped it to Newegg.
How do you fuck that up? Print the label, put it on the box, send it to the customer lol.
They tell me they'll fix it and reship Monday or Tuesday with next day delivery. Tuesday is almost over, still nothing, so I call Newegg customer service. Magically a few hours later it ships Next Day Air from California.
This morning it makes it to my hometown, gets loaded on the UPS truck and goes OUT FOR DELIVERY.
Finally, right?
Nope.
Today at 12:07 UPS says the sender requested a delivery address change. Then like 10 minutes later the sender requests UPS hold the package.
I didn't request either one.
Then MXZ sends me a completely separate message asking if I've returned the computer yet because apparently their system says I signed for it on August 11th.
I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE COMPUTER.
So MXZ has now managed to ship my PC to the wrong place, miss their own reshipping deadline, stop the replacement while it's literally on the truck coming to my house, and apparently create an RMA for a computer they think I already have.
I've tried to be patient but I'm done at this point. Maybe there's some amazing explanation for all of this, and if there is I'll update the post. I'm in contact with Newegg customer service and have requested a refund, but they're "investigating" which will take 2-5 business days, and MXZ has 1-2 business days to respond. It's a runaround and I'm growing tired of it.
Anyway I'd seriously recommend avoiding MXZ PC, and personally I won't be buying another expensive prebuilt through Newegg either.
What a clownshow.

Toprigz High End Recommendations
I noticed that toprigz (linked in the pinned guide) recommends the Andromeda Insights Spectra as its highest pricepoint rebuilt at $1500. Don't get me wrong, it seems like a powerful prebuilt and a great deal at that price, but I was surprised there aren't recommendations for higher budgets. Am I just missing the point that toprigz is for more budget friendly options?
For reference, I'm personally looking for a pretty high end prebuilt with a good balance of GPU and CPU performance (I play both GPU heavy FPS games and CPU/RAM heavy strategy, simulation games at 1440p). I think I can get this done within a $3000 budget, but the price isn't that important to me. I want something I won't need to upgrade for a long time but have the option to if I want to. AI seems good for this since they don't use proprietary parts, but their higher priced units seem only marginally better. Most also have liquid cooling, which I am a bit wary of messing with when I want to upgrade. Maybe I am overthinking it and the AI Spectra really is just good enough for what I actually want/need. It's definitely a good prebuilt.

PSU rec for Walmart prebuilt
Bought the 5070ti + 9800x3d prebuilt from Walmart back in 2025. I believe it has a 1 year warranty and didn’t want to change anything. HOWEVER, it is getting close to the end of warranty and I read somewhere I need to switch the PSU.
- What’s a good PSU to get?
- Is there anything else I should think about replacing? (i.e AIO)

This or that
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.

Worth $1350? Open box
Found at Best Buy as an open box for $1350. From what I read AMD would be best, but otherwise looks decent?

MicroCenter DEAL!

Probably a repetitive post in this group but I got this email showing this PowerSpec pre-built deal. This is a very solid deal and great pc to buy. RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, & 2TB SSD.
Perfect for 1440p gaming. It's even capable of 4k gaming with upscaling and frame gen. You genuinely can't go wrong with this pre-build.
An RX 9070 XT alone is at minimum $750
The 9800X3D alone is at minimum $420
32GB of DDR5 6000Mhz RAM is at minimum $420
2TB SSD can range from $240-$400
