he made another poor decision and already bought those listed at a very overpriced rate and wants us to rate it now.
i rate it 2/10, but at least it's better than your other prebuilt from walmart

No need to be passively rude. His build is not bad at all, 1060 6gb variant and 8400 are a great combo. 8/10

Aurus ultra is way overkill for a locked processor...
Also that SSD will fill up very fast if you start loading games onto it.
Case has a huge impact because it basically decides whether or not you get airflow to cool.
HDD?

I rate 5/10 for that price.

passively rude cuz im stating facts and he wants us to rate it? reason why i gave him 2/10 is because of 1060 and 8400. He could've saved $300+ with 8400+1060 & quality stuff though.
you're jealous of rikuo buying quality item for less than half its price, yet you're fine with someone spending way more than the item's worth? :rofl:
smh.

You can state facts without being rude. It's pretty easy to do

it's also pretty easy not being so sensitive, though i don't blame you, since we all know you're a very sensitive person.
i stated that he made another poor choice by overpaying for another build (a mistake he already made with walmart) and explained that to arthur because he misunderstood his post.
I even acknowledged the fact that it's still a better build than the walmart's, but ofc you would ignore this because then it won't fit your clueless persona.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, like you rating 8/10 for an overpriced 1.2k build without full information.
I give it 2/10 because of the following reasons:
- 8400 (awesome CPU)
- paired w/ aorus ultra gaming (an overpriced entry board, for a similar cost he could've gotten top mid tier boards such as z370-a or pro carbon. It's exactly why it's bundled up) poor choice for cost, but still decent
- reference 1060 6gb (if you're going over budget, why not a non-reference card with better cooling & higher clocking out of the box?)
- 120ssd (questionable in a 1.2k build and with all the games he listed)
- 4x4 2400 mhz ram (can't rate this without CAS speed or ram timings, but i'd recommend 2 sticks instead of 4 and 3000+mhz for not much more)
- cant comment on rest of the unknown parts such as the case and power supply etc.

You don't seem to like it here and feel that everyone has some magical double standards against you, so go to linus/reddit/elsewhere and ask them which 1.2k build they'd prefer

or saving more $$$ for a 8400+entry board if he doesn't plan on OCing and is content with that.

Cool. Maybe you should have made this post instead of being passively rude to the OP (for no reason). Glad it took me to tell you to do what's right though!
