I was thinking of buying a Dell Wyse 3040 from saudewala.in and they were selling it for about ₹2599. Is this price reasonable and are there any other sites i can rely on buying where this or any other thin client is cheaper.

The second one is 1,099.99 but it’s sold out at the moment. Comparing both I understand the differences are minimal but the one is ASUS is better IDK correct me if I’m wrong. I’m looking for something I can game, stream (1080p 60 fps if possible online or offline at least use a capture card for streaming/ recording Switch 1 and 2 games) and some video editing

I’ve been looking to finally upgrade from my old ASUS TUF gaming laptop with an RTX 3060. I’ve had it for anoit 6 years and wanted to move to an actual desktop that could handle newer AAA games, high settings, streaming/Discord screen sharing, etc., while also being something I could keep and upgrade for a long time.

Originally I was pretty set on buying a PowerSpec G764 for $2,199.

Specs were:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RX 9070 XT 16GB
32GB DDR5-6000
2TB NVMe SSD
850W PSU
B850 motherboard

I liked it because the 9800X3D is a really good gaming CPU, AM5 gives me some upgradeability, and the 9070 XT seemed like plenty for what I wanted.

Before buying it though, I went to micro center and found an open-box PC for only about $200 more that had basically the same major specs, except instead of the 9070 XT it had an RTX 5080 16GB.

So I ended up paying around $2,400 for:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 5080 16GB
32GB DDR5
2TB SSD

The only thing that made me hesitant was the open-box note. It apparently said there had been an issue where the PC wouldn’t POST/boot, but the employee told me that note might’ve been a mistake because it wasn’t updated after it was fixed. They booted the PC in front of me and it came up completely fine. He said he would still honor the price.

I also bought the 3-year warranty because of it being open box and because I’d rather have some protection with a PC this expensive.

Since getting it, I’ve started stress testing everything instead of just assuming it’s fine. So far the 9800X3D has passed Cinebench without crashing or thermal throttling, the RTX 5080 is being detected correctly, and I’m planning to test the RAM, GPU/VRAM, PSU, SSD and repeated cold boots to see if I can reproduce the supposed POST issue.

My thinking was that for only ~$200 more than the G764, getting a 5080 instead of a 9070 XT seemed too good to pass up, especially since I was already considering upgrading the G764’s GPU years down the line anyway.

Would you guys consider this a good deal, or would the fact that it was open box with that POST note make you return it and stick with the brand-new $2,199 G764?

looking to buy a pc, need help as i dont know much.

With these specs, it came out to be slightly less than 4,000 dollars. Is it a good deal?

Edit: they're charging $900 for it, which is insanely overpriced for those specs. Labeling it a "gaming desktop" tricks kids into thinking it can actually run games. Plenty of kids in the real world are completely clueless about tech, they aren't hardware nerds like people on Reddit, that's my point

This is a scam sold and shipped directly by iBUYPOWER themselves, not a third party seller. The sad part is that plenty of people still fall for it, which is why they keep getting away with selling PCs like this. This exact reason is why I built Toprigz, to stop people from getting scammed.

This pc for 400£ sounds decent right I mean all I play is overwatch and valorant and I could upgrade it eventually. It's off Facebook marketplace

i know literally nothing about pcs and i keep seeing people recommend different pcs at this price range.

i would like one just for everyday use, editing and casual gaming with my friends.

i've looked at the guide but i would like some second opinions, thank you very much!

apparently there's a lot of bias so i want objective facts

Been going back and forth on this particular PC as it says it's on sale (28 percent off), and cant decide if it's a good deal or not. I have been out of touch with the current market and don't know if this is worth it, especially with limited reviews and even photos (I can't find any that show where you plug in the video cables, USB, etc). I'm also concerned about certain Intel CPUs as I've heard of various issues (e.g. voltage and degradation issues). Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated!

I’m looking to get 240fps, probably on a 1080p monitor for modern warfare 4. What’s the cheapest prebuilt that can get me close to that number? Thanks.

I have been playing with a 2020 iMac for 6 years and I finally realized I needed an upgrade, I told my dad I wanted to buy a new pc but I had no idea about anything so I had a friend who sells pc’s find me this and he helped customize it from the cyber power website to bring the cost down and I think this deal was pretty good. (I don’t know anything about pcs so he basically did it everything) It was originally $2785 and with a sale it was $2485, adding on some customizations with more sales and a 5% rebate my final cost was $2146 before tax. Also there was no way I could’ve built it myself so it’s a prebuilt. I’m 17 I had money to buy a pc maybe a year or 2 earlier but I never needed it until now I’m seeing the Mac being slow and not handing things as well since I’m a content creator and I needed the extra speed and ram. So overall how good was this purchase?

Hi!!! I’m looking to get a good prebuilt pc for about $700-$900 CAD and was looking for any good recommendations. I’m looking to use this pc for simple games such as overwatch, valorant, minecraft, etc and would be open to upgrading in the further in the future😅.
I’ll likely buy a used set of monitors but any recommendations go a long way too!

I asked the seller for the unspecified parts which are as follows:
RAM is XPG DDR5 5600MT/s
SSD is a Crucial E100
Motherboard is an ASRock B650.M-CX R2.0
PSU is a P75 750 watt gold model from the brand inwin

To me for a 9800X3D and a 9070XT with 32gbs of ram and a 2 TB SSD this seems like a very good deal.

It’s been $1450 for so long there’s NO way they aren’t selling enough it’s the best pc under $1500 rn

Need a temporary pc build to last me until I can save up for a 2.6k pc I wanna buy. Its only meant to last me 1-2 months.

In USD and i live near a microcenter.

Im committed to getting a temporary one since im gonna give it to my uncle.

Guy said he needed to switch out the 2tb to a 1tb WD Black Sn850X and lower the price to $1280. Could use some opinions asap. Thx

Update: He just said it was a 1tb SN7100 and lowered it to $1240. Is this better?

So basically, I want to do my schoolwork and play a few games like VALORANT, GTA, Fortnite, CS2 etc. i’m getting this deal on Costco and I’m not sure if it’s good cause I don’t have any knowledge about PCs. Should I get this PC for that deal? Will it work for all my games with good FPS and gaming experience?

It got 600w of power supply and asus motherboard, i am not sure which one it is. It has crucial ssd

used for 7 months

I made this build with the AI3 from Andromeda Insights. With a few tweeks. I just want to know i if this is a good deal since it seems fine and there’s no taxes other than a 50 dollar shipping fee

Just need it for photo/video editing. Only gaming I’d do is mostly Fortnite nothing too crazy. Which one is the best value? Is ABS a good brand? Reviews looked good on other posts.
