Looking to make a new gaming pc, got rid of my old ones, I already have a monitor, and will buy the mouse and keyboard separate. Just looking for someone who knows their stuff to assist me. If you can link me to a site and suggest what I should buy? I would be grateful :smile:

Right now, I'd wait a bit before building a PC, Ryzen 2 is coming out really soon and the price of graphic cards should go down soon as mining is becoming less profitable.

It feels like they have been saying this forever.... Gpu and Ram prices are crazy....

You're right, but Ethereum and most other crypto crashed hard last week so, it's much less profitable for now.

A prebuilt here is actually cheaper & better specs

If you don't mind using Ebay Refurbforless has an amazing deal

ASUS ROG G20CB-B21 Desktop Intel i7-6700 3.4GHz 16GB 1TB NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB W10 US $879.99
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-G...255916&hash=item3d5a9467fd:g:4KEAAOSweUFajy8k

While normally I would say the 6700 is a steaming pile of dog **** at this price point its good considering the GPU is $550 and 16gb of ram is over $150.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NYkXXH

It's gonna be hard to probably find the GPU either in-stock or at a decent price at this time.
>8600k
>2018
>$128 mobo with an i5

And when Ryzen 2 comes out many stores will be selling deals to get rid of their Ryzen last gen chips. So cheap 1700's might spring up.

I mean, it has a better processor. In my experience with prebuilts, they use garbage parts for everything else. Garbage power supply. Iffy RAM. Cheap fans and cases. Slow harddrives. But that one looks more like a Dell Workshop than a typical "prebuilt gaming build", so it might use better quality parts

Typically with Dell/HP you get like a $75 mobo, reference GPU and meh PSU but you never get like a Raidmax Alahu Ackbar edition PSU. The Intel ones are much worse as Intel mobo's cost way more so a $75 Intel mobo is pretty weak.

Usually just Toshiba/Seagate 7200rpm drives also.

They used to be even better I have some old prebuilts I got free from the early 2000's with Delta PSU's and its pretty common for an older 250w Delta PSU to be able to hold up 400w constantly for years without issue.
