i know what prebuilt is breh. And who said anything about Best Buy?

I just copped all my parts and they should come by monday. Gonna post pics once i build it.

you said most prebuilts come with bad parts, that's only if you buy a cyberpc from best buy what else could you possibly be talking about

xidax and other companies let you pick the parts you want

I know mine ain't no TI but i got my 3070 for $500

all the third party companies raised their prices, you can only get the founders editions for those type of prices now

but still you might as well get a scalped 3080 paying 1200

I got mine from bestbuy.com for $500. I rather get a pre-built pc than pay rape for just the card.

Was it the founder's edition, best buy is the only place that sells them, the founder edition 3060 is 300 dollars but the cheapest AIB is the EVGA which is 400, the ASUS TUF 3080 was 740 at launch now it's 1100 dollars, the ASUS TUF 3070 is 799 at best buy

There's no point of buying any of these cards anymore, 3080 was a great deal at 700, the 3070 is a terrible buy and so is the 3070ti, performance isn't leap from the 3060ti and only marginally better than a 3060

might as well wait for the 40 series or buy a prebuilt then get raped

ABS had some cheap ass parts in their builds. You realize theres more than just cyber and NXZT right? no one mentioned best buy in here excpet u

im not referring to a pick and choose site where they build it for u. Im referring to actual prebuilds (meaning YOU dont build it) that come with RTX 3000 cards and a bunch of cheap shyt to go with it (IE motherboard, ram, ect).

was always better off just buying parts soley and building it my damn self.


for example, this piece of shyt that has a cheap Mobo and RAM and shytty air flow/cooler ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK Gaming Desktop PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, GeForce RTX 3070, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi 5, Windows 10 Home, GA15DK-DS776 - Newegg.com

I could never do a prebuilt. It makes sense for those who are intimidated of building their own or have no interest.

But today's market has pretty much made it a more affordable option.

Ya, 2 years ago i woulda told people to just build their own shyt. This shortage has changed the way we buy pc now

I built 3 last year but these GPU prices have me strongly considering a pre-built

Got a new 4k monitor - dell s2721qs - to pair with my gaming 2k monitor - dell s2721dgf. Top is the gaming monitor, bottom is the 4k. Both are for different use cases. My new 4k monitor will be to used for work with my work laptop, everyday browsing and gonna learn how to photo edit. Love how their both symmetrical.

It's definitely unique and I appreciate the throwback of having the psu mounted at the top.

I see most of these pre-builts equipped with 1tb ssd…seems low for this day and age. I’m looking to get into some Red Dead 2 and GTA V role play servers and get my Daniel Day Lewis on…but also want enough room for other games like Skyrim and Age of Empires. What should I get that’s not overkill either?

 

[duckbutta]

People in here talking about they paying more for a 3070 and 3080 than I paid for a FE 3090
