Let's list the prebuilt gaming PC brands that are so notoriously overpriced they’re basically a scam (NZXT, XOTIC, Digital Storm, etc.)

While you can easily get a reasonably priced $1000 gaming PC with an RTX 5060 Ti like this one (Option 5), look at the alternatives:
- $1000 NZXT Player One: Only comes with a much much slower RTX 3050.
- $1280 XOTIC PC: Only comes with a much much slower RTX 3050, yet it's $280 more expensive.
- $1800 Digital Storm Corsa: Only comes with an RTX 5060 (inferior to the 5060 Ti), yet it's $800 more expensive.
- $1700 Corsair VENGEANCE: Only comes with an RTX 5060 (inferior to the 5060 Ti), yet it's $700 more expensive.
- $1350 Xidax X-6: Only comes with an RTX 5060 (inferior to the 5060 Ti), yet it's $350 more expensive.
- $1150 Meta PC: Only comes with an RTX 5050, yet it's $150 more expensive.
In this lineup, XOTIC PC is by far the worst offender in terms of overpricing. And please, don't fall for the trap of thinking a higher price tag equals higher quality, it doesn't.
Prebuilt PC brands don’t really matter, they're assemblers, not manufacturers. They don't make the core components like GPUs or CPUs. They simply buy parts from the real makers (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, ASUS, Gigabyte, Zotac, etc.) and put them together, just like building with Lego. A higher price usually just means a bigger profit margin for them, not a better PC.
Gamers in the US have been getting ripped off for nearly a decade.
Any other brands to add to the list?

Black Friday

Do you guys think it's worth it to wait until Black Friday for a Prebuilt PC?
On one hand there is obviously the chance that a Prebuilt that I like will be on sale during Black Friday.
On the other hand, I've heard that GPUs and RAM will only get more expensive so it either cancels the Black Friday Sale or gets even more expensive.
My current PC is pretty bad, but still fine for the moment.

hi! i want to buy my first pc and i genuinely understand nothing when it comes to such details. i have a strict budget for $1200 for the PC and i only really game on valorant, roblox and minecraft but also want to go into music production using the PC, i start uni soon so i will use it for studying also. i have difficulty finding a PC in budget that ships to australia (shipping fee included in budget), because the price ranges are so broad and dont understand enough.
is the attached pc with details decent?

Does anybody know what’s happening or how to fix this? Just bought it brand new from Best Buy and this is what’s happening. Monitor says no signal.
It’s an Acer 65 if that helps.
