Should you buy a Prebuilt Gaming PC or Build one?

[judeyang]

$1200 for a integrated graphics is insane 😂

[Dah_J]

As of right now, with the current pc market, you absolutely want to build your own. Prices are at an all time low.

[mtndewman]

If your spending $1200 and don't even have a dedicated gpu, than your doing somthing wrong

[EvanGribble]

“Only $500”💀😭 if only I had that mindset

[movelikemamba]

All I can say is if you’re going to go with integrated graphics, try and get an AMD cpu because their integrated graphics are far better than what intel is offering

The GPU shortage has ended 2 years ago as of 2024 and you can now build a Core i5-12600KF/RTX 3070 Ti system for $1200 with only brand new parts. This PC will meet all of your 1440p needs and 4K games run smoothly too.

If you have 1200$ you can easily have a 5 7600x, 32gb of ddr5 ram, 1tb storage and 7800 XT. Pair that with a 750w PSU and you can dominate any game in 1440p

nah, for me when i try to make a good pc like build it i always end up with a big expense, for the ones who want a cheaper option choose pre-built but that doesnt mean you dont have to know the pc's components, for example if you wanted to add more ram you have to know how you install it right? and also if the pc doesnt work how would you fix it? you have to know pc stuff, and for people who dont have a budget, make ur own pc at your own risk and dont blame anyone that it isnt working, re-trace your steps and check for the psu cables. hope people find this helpful.

Nowadays that $500 can get you a Ryzen 5 5600x and a 6600xt/6650xt or for slightly more(not counting used) you could get a 6700xt

I chose Build Pro PC for my prebuilt computer, and I'm over the moon with my decision. This PC is a visual delight, and its performance, especially considering the price, is truly outstanding. The team's exceptional friendliness and support make them a top recommendation in my book.

Something I really like is that since the Rtx 4070 ti is better than the 3090 ti and is only 800$, it’s caps the price of every other gpu below that in the used market, I have found Rtx 3080 and 3080 tis for 500$ used

[hyperhype]

I built my own and could only get 30fps with an i9 9900k and a rtx 3060 ti. I tried everything to fix it with no luck. Id recommend buying one thats prebuilt as it has been tested. Optimised and has a warranty.

[restant]

for $1160 i built a decent rig

Ryzen 7 5800x
rtx3060ti
32 gigs ram
asus motherboard atx TUF gaming B550 wifi II
Icue Corsair water cooling
Red Dragon 850W power supply
1tb samsung ssd

Almost all of the parts i got in bundle deals or on sell. The rtx3060ti was going for $320 on Amazon. Its better to build and also looks cooler. Prebuilts have sketchy ram, sketchy power supplies, and the wires are all weird. Building one makes you appreciate your machine everytime you start it up. i wonder what my pc would be worth if it was prebuilt.

In Russia i bought pc on intel i5 12400f and gigabyte eagle oc 4060, for the ram i choose kigston beast ddr 4 32gigs 3600 mgh. Motherboard was asrock b660m pg riptide, on which i was able to overclock my cpu. After assembly, i overclocked ram, gpu and cpu. Also i had a 1tb ssd. The total price is insane. Entire pc was only around 850 us dollars. All the parts was brand new.

[onlyfacts]

Just did a build today with a $1200 budget! 7700x Cpu (on sale for $248 vs $400 right now), B650m motherboard, 32gb RAM DDR5 6000mhz, cpu cooler and fans by Artic for about $110, 6750xt, 1 tb NVME.2 storage, 850w cooler master PSU, and a windows USB already laying around lol.

For less than $50 extra is why I got the 7700x no reason to skip out on a better performing CPU when it’s 38% off right now! Min max your builds people! My case was only $60 and is one of the best on the market. Way too many $150+ cases being sold that are absolute dog water. Cut corners on the aesthetics NEVER PERFORMANCE!

[boxedlunchmuncher]

i highly suggest getting the arc750 price cut to 250$ which for that price is unbeatable for a brand new gpu

[DanielNGinaFN]

Easy, if you have a microcenter near you,

You can get a bundle for less that 500 (mobo, cpu, ram)
And spend 100 on the psu 50 on the storage
And the rest on a 4070
With a cheap case or an AMD gpu

[DripRN]

At that point the prebuilt was just better in integrated graphics suck specially for $1200

[MarcelHoskins]

Microcenter prebuilt is worth $1100 and you can get parts to swap in the future

[Kingattack]

My budget rn is 6.3k anyone know some good parts?
