scuffed is beautiful
gtx 1080 with i7 8700 for $1,400, or gtx 1080 with i7 8700k for $1,574
full prebuilt pcs

anyone have one of these? considering getting one but not many reviews on it
such a beautiful phone
@kleyoni24 The fuck does that have to do with /csg/?
Also, depends on use-case
And if the rest of the stuff included is any different.
could be chinkshit
uhh
Also, don't buy either of those, www.logicalincrements.com
arent gpu prices still high?
No
Also www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales. GPUs dropped months ago.
besides, they both got 16 gigs of ram, 240 gb ssds, and and 2tb hdds
Do they tell you which drives, and are those drives good drives? If no to either, don't.
uh they're both brand new pcs if that answers your question
Also the PSU, is it good? Otherwise get a good one, you'll make up the price difference in saving on power bill. Check 80 Plus on Wikipedia.
It doesn't tell me shit. There are hundreds of models of parts. They make their money by making a margin using shit parts.
Also bulk pricing when they buy. But mostly both.
600w psu for the $1,575 and 550 for the $1,400
That doesn't mean anything.
you asked for the psus
what exactly do you mean by shitty parts
anyway
Prices for DIY vs prebuilt are so close, if you don't know the model number on every part in the prebuilt, just assume they used shitty parts. DIY is a couple hours and a single screwdriver type project, anyone can manage, and you'll get a much higher quality computer for it.
Shitty parts like a smaller heatsink that won't keep temps down as well, so your parts fail earlier, a cheap motherboard that might have a capacitor pop in a couple years immediately after the warranty ends, an inefficient power supply that draws 800w from the wall to supply you with 500w to the PC, fans that have bearings go bad in a few months and start making noise, a more flimsy case
lets hypothetically assume that these are all good parts
should i buy?
If they're all good parts, yeah, might as well, you're spending a few bucks to have someone save you a couple hours.
aight thanks
no disrespect but I think you're overworrying, these seem pretty good and they're from newegg.. ive seen shittier pre-builts on ebay
those were more expensive too
Yeah, it's not a huge problem, but they're objectively worse. PSU is the biggest issue, low efficiency means more heat, which leads to things throttling and slowing down. Plus you pay more over time.
Plus it's the only part that can fail and physically damage the rest of the parts. Just make sure it's at least an 80 Plus rated one. That means a 3rd party testing place verified they're at least 80% efficient, which usually they won't bother for with shit ones.
If you've got a buddy who can help, just ask if you can pay him $50 to build one for you.
ok
sounds good, thanks
