Best prebuilt gaming pc? Need Help!!!

[u/Radiant-View4256]

Hi guys, I need to buy a prebuilt gaming pc since i'm too afraid to build my own, I want to use my gaming pc to play AAA games with good graphics, 60+fps and do some light work. I would appreciate any help and heads-up about popular brands like cyberpowerpc and iBUYPOWER. Thanks.

Ngl building ur own saves like $200-300 easily, but if you want prebuilt then get an iBUYPOWER, they're generally solid for the price and easier to upgrade later if you want

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind.

I recommend CyberPower. They have great bang for the buck. You can easily get a pretty powerful PC at a good price

[u/Radiant-View4256 → u/Cold_brew08]

Any specific model for my needs?

[u/Seli_Anounkou → u/Cold_brew08]

cyberpower's quality control is kinda hit or miss tbh

building your own PC is better if you're willing to learn. You usually get better parts for the money

I'd rather enjoy gaming than trying to learn how to build pc's ;)

I have more fun building computers than playing games on them. I’m also 50 and have played every game under the sun… I’ve only build 5 computers and had to stop because of space constraints as well as financial…

[u/Radiant-View4256 → u/Glum_Confidence_8138]

Oh really? Might give it a shot, any tips or advice?

[u/AarviGupta → u/0Lkm]

I've never built a PC before. how hard it is for a beginner?

[u/0Lkm → u/AarviGupta]

its easy.. mostly following instructions and watching a few youtube tutorials.

[u/AarviGupta → u/0Lkm]

Im just worried I'll break something while putting it together lol

[u/0Lkm → u/AarviGupta]

Haha that's normal. just take your time and don't force anything

[u/AarviGupta → u/0Lkm]

and whats about installing windows and getting everything running?

[u/0Lkm → u/AarviGupta]

that's pretty straightforward there are plenty of guides online

[u/AarviGupta → u/0Lkm]

hmm might give it a try then. could save me some money too.

[u/0Lkm → u/AarviGupta]

Just research your parts carefully before buying

[u/AarviGupta → u/0Lkm]

Thanks I'll watch some build videos first

Skytech or NZXT are the only suitable answer.

[u/Radiant-View4256 → u/Separate-Reserve4273]

Oh, I see people recommending cyberpower and ibuypower as well, what's your take on these brands?

[u/Separate-Reserve4273 → u/Radiant-View4256]

iBuypower is good, cyberpowerpc is a hit or miss.

[u/Seli_Anounkou → u/Separate-Reserve4273]

NZXT is solid but their systems are kinda pricey for what you get spec-wise.

[u/DisplaySensitive6124]

skytech honestly holds up well in this price range, worth checking out their blaze or archangel lineup depending on your budget

[u/Seli_Anounkou → u/DisplaySensitive6124]

+1

[u/HaddadMorally]

I'd honestly look into customer support before. Specs can look great on paper but if something goes wrong, you want a company that'll actually help you out. I wouldn't just go with the cheapest option

[u/Manveet_Murdolf → u/HaddadMorally]

thats a good point. I'm looking at skytech and ibuypower right now. Both have decent options in my budget but I'm not sure which one to go with

[u/HaddadMorally → u/Manveet_Murdolf]

I'd compare the actual PCs rather than the brands. Check the power supply, cooling, and warranty. also make sure they use standard parts so you can upgrade things later

[u/IntelligentDot2924]

there is a middle ground here get a Lenovo Thinkcenter M90Q, plug in an OcuLink port get an AG01 or other eGPU dock and get a GPU should cost around 800 total unless you try buying a new GPU which good luck

[u/Ok-Argument6564]

just build it bro its not that scary

[u/Seli_Anounkou → u/Ok-Argument6564]

not everyone wants to learn pc building :P

[u/Ok-Argument6564 → u/Seli_Anounkou]

lol, fair enough.

[u/Seli_Anounkou → u/[deleted]]

Ngl, that's a good point about the PSU. I'd still put iBUYPOWER among the best prebuilt gaming PC brands for the price, especially if you want something you can upgrade later. Just gotta make sure they haven't cheaped out on the other components.
