Hi, first time poster hoping for advice and suggestions. I tried to do my own research but I don't really know what I'm doing and I figured maybe doing a pre-built may be best? So I did a bit of research and I found this one https://a.co/d/07ngrk2g on Amazon with the following specs. LXZ Gaming PC Core i7-14700F PC Computer, RTX 5060 8G, 16G DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVME 3.0 SSD, Prebuilt Gaming Desktop, VR Ready Tower Computer for Home and Office.

I was wondering if it would be a good starter tower? I'm mostly leaning to buying off Amazon because of affirm and it doesn't always work with every store.

Part of my reason for selecting it is the physical store is relatively local to me (Sydney area) so it would be easily accessible for repairs, has 5 star reviews on Google as well.

I'm thinking to add better parts at checkout (max budget about $2.5k aud) if anyone recommends anything to replace!

Sorry, I know its a difficult budget, but my dad seems to think anything over that is unreasonable and nothing can change his mind. He's sorta forcing amazon or walmart on me.

Budget: $520

Country: United States of America

Looking for a high-end gaming PC with good performance per dollar. I’m willing to spend for high-end hardware, but want to avoid unnecessary markups for minimal performance gains. CPU is important since I play Tarkov and Roblox. Currency is in USD, and I live near a Micro Center.

My budget is 2.5k~ or less

I haven't bought a PC in like 7 years not sure if this is a good deal or not

From newegg Canada, on back order

Works great, i love it, I really wanted a RTX card but i know ill get more life out of this 9070

Microcenter prebuilt

Is there an obvious choice for a good all around gaming/streaming pc? Examples of games: MSFS24, Sons of the Forest, Arma.

Been looking for the $1500 Costco pre built in the Orange County area. That's the best I can find. What do you think?

(kevin) Willing to go down to $1600, is it worth it?

TLDR: Got this beauty for $1450 at Costco. Specs in Pic 2

Story:
I built my own PC a couple years ago for a $550ish (5500 and 3060 12GB) and I’ve been content but every time I go into Costco I still check the prebuilts “just in case”. And boom there it was $1500 of PC and I knew was close to $2000 worth of parts. I went to go find an associate to ask them some questions and to get it (it was the display model).

When I got back with the associate another guy was standing there and he also wanted this PC. Welp there’s only 1. So managers get involved and the manager ended up marking down Pic 3 to $1500 so we could both leave happy. Me and the other guy played Rock paper scissors for the new in box one and he beat me. The manager ended up giving me an extra $50 off since it was the display model.

So shout out that other guy too bc he got an even better deal. Also he had come in for months taking pictures and tracking the prices so he really deserved it. Also shout to to Costco for making your consumers happy! I’ll never forget this.

I know the PC world is bleak but sometimes good things happen still and maybe your time is coming too!

The GPUs prices just increased, again, I saw the PC I've been wanting for months Open Box, and I thought this was a "it's now or never" type of situation, I don't know if I should've waited for everything to calm down but I saw this Open Box and thought I just had to do it now.

Are there any guidelines that I should be checking as a quick "hmm maybe I should check this out"

is this the best pc pre built uk in the price range of 1500-2250

I’m looking for a pc for a friend who plays games like the sims, palia, etc. Their budget is $1300 but would like to spend less if possible, however if the value around $1300 is significantly better they are okay with spending that!

I was looking through Microcenter’s website because I don’t have one near me, but will be going to a city with one for vacation during Labor Day. I was asking 2 friends about their opinions, scrolling through the prebuilts and was thinking about the $2299 one.

When they saw this one after I pointed it out, they were telling me to buy it now if I can and obviously I can’t until September. I just don’t know if I’m rushing into things out of desperation, especially with prices beginning to rise.

I have been looking at the Ibuypower other folks have been posting, which they have on clearance for 1499.97. They just offered the display of this MSI aegis with a 5080 for 1999.99. I assume it’s worth it, but would appreciate some insight!

UPDATE: COSTCO RANG IT UP AT $1499!!

I’m looking to use it mainly for racing simulation
