This is your perfect PC, great for all resolutions of gaming, great at multitasking with a great Ryzen CPU and water cooling. https://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Supreme-Liquid-GeForce-SLC8260A5/dp/B08W1T9QJV/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=gaming+pc&qid=1619385001&refinements=p_36%3A190000-200000%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A18107802011&rnid=676578011&s=pc&sr=1-2 Now I only looked at the important specs so free to look more into this and make sure its perfect for you.
get this one before it's to late Amazon Gaming PC. The specs: Average 1080p Performance 96.3 FPS, Average 1440p Performance 71.1 FPS, and Average 4K Performance 42.5 FPS.
The new egg PC is a has a low end CPU but cost a $180 less new egg PC, This PC is a $80 over your budget but the CPU is much better Amazon PC. Both have a 2060 which is a great graphics card. Here are the specs, Average 1080p Performance 107.8 FPS, Average 1440p Performance 76.4 FPS, and Average 4K Performance 45.3 FPS.
You can get external SSDs. Here is a link to one that I own personally. There may be better ones out there but this one has been good for me.
I’m not very good when it comes to building my own pc and the fear of having to handle the issue myself if something goes wrong is too much of a headache.
Currently I have a gaming laptop (acer nitro 5) that I enjoy because of the portability, I treat it like a switch of sorts, however it doesn’t really play new titles with the best frame rate.So I want a stationary computer for when I’m home that can play all games at 1080p 144z with medium-highest settings and I’ve come down to these two PCs.
Or
I can’t really trust either of the reviews because both of them have questionable things surrounding them, but I figured when buying through amazon you always get their return policy which is good. I’d really appreciate your guys’ help on this decision.
The Commander Pro has another USB header on it. Plug it in first, and then plug your CPU cooler into it.
As far as no USB Type-C headers, you can add a PCIe expansion card.
This one is $33 on Amazon and has both a USB C internal header and two extra ports on the back. There are a million variations of this, some with only internal headers and some only external, but just at a glance this one looks like it has both.
Viotek 25 inch 144Hz IPS Display from Amazon
That should suit your needs and budget.
If you haven't bought those parts yet, I'd suggest a NVMe drive instead of the SATA SSD - they are slightly cheaper, are much faster and no cabling needed. A Crucial P2 1TB drive would likely be a few dollars less than that SanDisk SSD - you should be able to find the P2 on Amazon too
So this https://www.amazon.com/SkytechBlaze-3-0-Gaming-PC-Desktop/dp/B09M9CDCSL/ref=sr_1_13?crid=3ROFCVKF86V7W&keywords=prebuilt+gaming+pc&qid=1657756696&sprefix=prebuilt+gaming+pc%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1 i7-11700 with RTX 3060ti, same size and speed RAM and storage drive and a Phanteks Metallic Gear Neo Air Black Case for under $1600, which is $400 cheaper than the one OP was looking at. Yes, the 11700 is a generation older but it is a very capable CPU still.
Almost all coolers come with free thermal paste so you don’t need to buy an aftermarket one. I would personally recommend this dual tower (similar to BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4): https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-Assassin-Aluminium-Technology/dp/B0982VWQN1/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=7nvBG&content-id=amzn1.sym.bbb6bbd8-d236-47cb-b42f-734cb0cacc1f&pf_rd_p=bbb6bbd8-d236-47cb-b42f-734cb0cacc1f&pf_rd_r=M...

I’m trying to save a bit of money so even $20 helps, would this work instead of the crucial p5 plus? MSI SPATIUM M450 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 500GB Internal Gaming SSD up to 3600MB/s 3D NAND Up to 600 TBW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RBCZXL1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_54A46RJ2W78NA08FQ1BF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Here’s one:
Check this out on @Newegg: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti EVO OC Edition 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card TUF-GTX1660TI-O6G-EVO-GAMING https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-tuf-gtx1660ti-o6g-ev/p/N82E16814126538?Item=N82E16814126538&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-14-126-538-_-05302022

10400F is an old CPU, the 12100F is a better pick for gaming thanks to faster cores
Cooler is overpriced, there are better and cheaper coolers like the Vetroo V5
You have no SSD, I’d get one otherwise your PC will feel slow
Case has poor airflow
Expensive RAM, I would probably consider this bundle: https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-PC4-25600-TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01-TM8FP7001T0C311/dp/B09NW23275/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3M06KWN93QEC8&keywords=Teamgroup+RAM+SSD&qid=1648989183&sprefix=teamgroup+ram+ssd%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3
PSU is overpriced, you can get a high quality Phanteks AMP power supply for $70
You don’t need to pay for a Windows key, you can download it directly from Microsoft for free without a key
Sorry, I realised I made a mistake somewhere, turns out the Vetroo V5 for $30 doesn’t include LGA1700 bracket. You would have to pay $34.49 Vetroo V5 for the included LGA1700 bracket and the cooler: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Addressable-Lighting-Processor/dp/B09RWL7WWG/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2VFF3J6E29Z6H&keywords=vetroo+v5&qid=1646651408&sprefix=vetroo+v5%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-4
Right, I edited the list for the motherboard to include WiFi. AX just stands for WiFi 6 capability.
For the RAM and SSD bundle here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NW23275/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_B3TKEM7RYKHPMWSHBAZF
Make sure to tick the coupon checkbox to get the discounted price $134.99
This is what you have: https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-1-Channel-Microphone-Condenser-Recording/dp/B014H8AWGC
Any questions?
It’s too overpriced, I’d recommend this instead: https://www.amazon.com/Allied-Gaming-Patriot-Desktop-PCI/dp/B09DB2V9TC
A 1080p 144Hz monitor should cost about $200.
Also there’s no “i7 9400f” but there is an “i5 9400f”, the seller probably mislabelled the CPU.
Mines has a better CPU and GPU for about same money when also factoring monitor, mouse and keyboard costs.
I would also check SuggestAPC’s Discord server for additional help: https://discord.com/invite/aPqaTnG
Hey!
it's really great to hear that you used G2A many times and you have only a positive experience.
I have a small request. We'd be over the moon if you dropped by and gave us a rating on Trustpilot (just like Mario we are collecting stars). If not, I'd super glad if you share with me any feedback you might have to improve the quality of your shopping.
Thank you for your time. All the best to you!
Something like this:
The important part is that it goes into the PCIE slot
Hey in case you didn't buy your PC yet. Then keep your eye out for when this comes into stock
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0998C9W1P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EYRWT1Q9XS748W85H1HC?psc=1
I got last year’s version which was the same thing but with 10th gen intel instead of 11th. It was $1200 when I got it. It’s gone up in price, but it also has a newer cpu now, so ya know - tradeoffs.
You might be able to find better deals at this point too. The market is slightly better than it was when I bought. Slightly.
And this one comes with windows 10 installed I would recommend this one the best

a 1080 ti or 2070 super will do you fine expect to pay from $1200 USD- $1600 USD. Here is a link to the cheapest 1080 ti https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeFroce-DirectX-352-bit-Graphics/dp/B07KNW86JX/ref=sr_1_6?crid=18E4M339LNHI9&dchild=1&keywords=1080+ti&qid=1619965372&sprefix=1080%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-6
nah man I can get something for you that cost $2000 and it's much better https://www.amazon.com/OMEN-25L-Processor-Graphics-Windows/dp/B08WHS8SNT/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=gaming+pc&qid=1619444938&refinements=p_36%3A210000-220000&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-4
Np here is the hdd I was talking about https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-BarraCuda-Internal-Drive-3-5-Inch/dp/B07H2RR55Q you probably need to get a Sata to USB adapter to use it depends if the pc has cables inside to connect it internally I’m using drives connected externally since my pc didn’t come with them and they work perfectly normal
already on my amazon list mate thanks for reply tho looking at this one ? any good https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075JGL4WV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1
In the US, you could get a EVGA GTX 1660 XC (with HDMI cable) for $549 right now on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JXR817G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_06r6Fb300599M
Think this a better moniter. I also would look at somethingbll like a 1660 gpu. Im about to retire my 1060... Worked well three years ago but just cant keep up. A 16 series will give you some future proofing. Let me know how it goes.
It basically just means that your selected case has a type C connector on the front. It's the charger that the new Samsungs and the Nintendo Switch use. The error refers to your front type C which wont be usable because of the motherboard not having the right port.
If you want/need type C on the front for whatever reason you need to pick a different mobo or get an adapter. I've never used one before but this link from Amazon seems to solve this problem.
Honestly it's not necessary and will run normal without it but but there will be no functionality. It's just preference though and some people really like type C.

https://youtu.be/J1SnyYxbNFA this guy make a pc with most of the same components and its a 300$ build, but in his build he uses the ryzen 3 3200 and it has inter grated graphics, so if you use that until you got cash to upgrade and get a 1030 or 1050 or smth. He make a good build for 300. Heres a case that 50$ thats mini itx, and the mb is mini itx https://www.amazon.com/darkFlash-MicroATX-Computer-Magnetic-Tempered/dp/B07R6K6VGC/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=gaming+pc+case+with+psu&qid=1606224975&sr=8-6 these are case fans there not rgb, but theres some cheap rgb pack of fans for cheap, and normal case fans that are cheaper. And some other cases come with fans.

And im planning to use the same mb and graphics card then upgrade to a 1660 then a 2060.
Its a weird time for Video cards it seems lol.
Was what I ordered. I can't see myself paying double for anything via ebay :/

Here’s the link to the ROG.
I hear people say that mobo wifi sucks and wifi cards are better. Is the wifi on the bazookah equivalent to this wifi card?
TP-Link AC1200 PCIe WiFi Card(Archer T4E)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter, Low Profile, Long Range Beamforming, Heat Sink Technology, Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_I79RFbW6GACCP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Do not buy that. It's really bad for the price. A GT710 is not really a gaming graphics card.
Instead do something like this (you can skip to 2:41)
With this you can get a better video card (better performance) and an SSD (faster storage) for less money
Or you can buy something like this (which is possibly refurbished) and follow the same upgrading process as in the video (put in a gtx 1650 / gtx 1650 super and connect the extra power, put in an SSD)
That would be my recommendation, hope it helps
- You will need to buy Windows 10
- It may be worth investing in 16gb ddr3 memory because you have:
- Integrated graphics. This means that the graphics are handled by the CPU instead of a GPU (it's not entirely that simple but that's basically what it is)
For gaming, there really isn't anything good under ~$500, and below $1000 you're computer is still gonna struggle a lot.
If you can save a little more, something like this would be a lot better, coming with Windows 10 and a dedicated graphics card.
So no, I would avoid this PC.
My personal pick would be the q300l. Good ventilation and looks nice. It has ports on the front panel though so it might not be your style This should be 45ish usd, regularily goes on sale.
The motherboard seems to have some issues looking at the reviews on amazon. You can find a cheaper motherboard with better reviews imo. This MSI Gaming AMD Ryzen X370 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 SLI CFX ATX Motherboard (X370 GAMING PRO CARBON) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WGS4FJL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7GyyAb61XW88E seems like a better option and is cheaper
We at India have an online sale coming, so I am expecting the prices will go down a bit. What sort of games so you usually play, have you overclocked ? And how many case fans do you have in current setup. The one I have in mind has 4 case fans, which are pre-installed https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07VCK2M9T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_xK3BFb86VPNT1
you can choose if you want with hdmi cable or without
Like one of these? https://www.amazon.ca/Dell-Optiplex-3010-Desktop-Professional/dp/B01JSQRJ5K If that’s the case you probably would be better off starting from scratch, as the psu will probably not come out and the specs on this pc wont run any games (unless you do have a graphics card I’m not aware of). A lot of the parts are also extremely dated. I suggest going to r/buildapc and give a budget for an rgb build. If you are definitely not looking to build, maybe some kind stranger in this comments thread or myself can give you a link to a good pc. Good luck!
what would be required to have said opportunity? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Graphics-DisplayPort-Chassis/dp/B083R258QK/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ASUS+ROG+STRIX+GeForce+RTX+2070+SUPER+Advanced+Overclocked+8GB+GDDR6+-+1830+MHz+Boost+Clock%2C+14000+MHz+Memory+Clock+-+PCI-E+3.0%2C+2x+HDMI%2C+2x+DP%2C+USB+Type-C+-+ROG-STRIX-RTX2070S-A8G-GAMING&qid=1597798180&sr=8-1 and what do you think of this graphics card in comparison to what I have found initially?
It'll fit, yeah... but just weigh the options, man. How much is that case?
​
​
CAD$70 too much?
I'd invest in an antistatic wrist wrap and ground yourself to your kitchen sink or something. Watch a few videos on building them it's not difficult I promise. If you have any more questions I can help out. I used to build and troubleshoot builds professionally
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N8ZQKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kKgfFb8P3RSNY
This is what youre looking for. I dont know where you're based so i used the American amazon as most people on here seem to be from bald eagle land.
AMD ...those Seagate barrcuda 7200rpm are pretty decent hhd there fast.... I brought a cheap wired RGB keyboard and mouse for $27 off Amazon.. here's the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016Y2BVKA/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_8RNPEbY3E5TWK I brought used but it's better than I imagined it to be...u can save money more and maybe get a 250gb m.2 nvme SSD for ya boot Drive... These things are quick
This is the monitor I was looking into[ BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24 Inch 144Hz Gaming Monitor | 1080P 1ms | Black eQualizer & Color Vibrance for Competitive Edge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5KKQTM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Uj94DbHYSBB9V ] I'm pretty sure it uses g-sync
Thanks though still quite not sure if this is quite needed for me as I wanted to save a little bit on the built with a few components....But seems like their is nowhere to safe..
Else I found a solid Deal on a SSD
Would you choose this
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07LGF54XR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3OPWMF9XBYSSI&psc=1
over the above mentioned Samsung 970 Evo the price difference is 80Euro(with a Coupon(Sabrent goes for 89,96 Euro and the Samsung 169,90 as of now)
Maybe I could compensate the cost with this SSD.
