Used PC builds: What are they worth?
in Desktops ·
If you ask me, the price you're looking at just isn't worth it. I'd rather put that money toward a brand new 1660ti and a larger SSD.

Where on earth did you find a brand new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 that cheap?
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti usually goes for around $230.$800
The only real upside to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is having more VRAM.

Go with the Acer predator x27. It’s easily the best option out there, though you're looking at over $2,000—so you'll probably want to look into financing if you don't want to drop the cash all at once.

I'm looking for some recommendations on a solid setup—specifically regarding the CPU, RAM, power supply, and monitor resolution. Once we settle those, we can move forward.

I agree $3100 but when you look at the quality versus the price, it really needs to be a 17-inch screen for what I need

$1,000 gaming build in LA?

I would suggest adding $100 since at the end of the day, the RTX 2060 is really the heart of any gaming rig.
Best PC upgrade ideas for $200-$400?

Check out this Seasonic power supply on Amazon.
Top-tier power supply.
The voltage stability here goes way beyond anything you'd consider mythic.
The ripple control on this is excellent.
The build quality is top-notch.
A ten-year warranty is quite a long commitment.
It’s fully modular.
I've been playing around with the switchable semi-fanless mode lately. It’s a pretty solid feature to have.

And how old is your power supply unit?
I'd steer clear of Best Buy if I were you.

For basic office work, I honestly think the Intel Pentium G5400 would be the better way to go.
PC upgrade 2018 advice needed

Kenzo99;71902875 said:AMD is $200 more expensive, and honestly, the i5 8600K just delivers better performance overall—not to mention the overclocking potential on both Intel and AMD.
If you're just gaming, sure, but if you're looking at streaming or photo editing, the 2700x will absolutely eat that i5 for breakfast. This whole comparison is pretty ridiculous.

Samuel Castillo49 said:If you're just gaming, the Ryzen 2700X or the Intel 8600K/8700K aren't really worth it. You'll get way better value out of a Ryzen 2600, which stays comfortably in that 80-150 fps range depending on what you're playing.
The buyer mentioned they need this rig for video editing and photo work, so the 2700X is actually going to outperform any of those i5 chips easily.

I don't really hold any loyalty to either Intel or AMD. In my opinion, the Ryzen 7 2700X is the smarter buy.
Kid's gaming PC is pure chaos

be quiet!'s Pure Power 9 500 w is a remarkably quiet unit, though its architecture struggles if you start putting uneven pressure on the +12V and 5V rails.
CONS
Cross Load performanca • performanca of The 3.3 V rail in Transient Tests • Power Good
I honestly feel like there were better options out there for the money.

Gaming PC for $1,500 - $2,000?

It's total overkill for gaming, plain and simple. This isn't even the top-tier 1080 Ti; this one goes for $1,300 because the cooling is better.
