Hey, after multiple tries of getting a separate 30XX GPU in reasonable price i've looked at some prebuild PC's and im close to ordering this one.
Could you guys have a look and maybe spare a comment?

1) BASE BUILD 1500EUR
https://sklep.hard-pc.pl/p12214,zestaw-ryzen-5-5600x-rtx-3060-12gb-16gb-ddr4-500gb-ssd-rg6v-750w.html

2) Additional SSD 95 EUR
https://sklep.hard-pc.pl/p11875,dysk-ssd-patriot-p210-1tb-520-430-mb-s-sata-iii-2-5.html

- Is this a good ratio of value/price for this build?
- Are the components paired appropriately? Any bottlenecks?
- Any components missing? Any additional Air cooling? Rather regular gaming purposes
--- Anything else you can point out about this will be appreciated!

EDIT: Windows 10 Key is not included so add another 100Eur to the package i guess

1500 EU is right now equal to $1800 USD.

Also, buying a pre-built is typically more expensive than building your own. Given that you're buying a pre-built due to GPU shortage, I honestly don't know if it's a good value or not. The best I can do is compare it with other pre-built companies like Dell or other customizable pre-built like CyberPowerPC.

One of my favorite pre-built companies is Alienware (owned by Dell). They have better specifications than what you selected at just a bit over $1800 USD. The downside to this is that they're using their own branded motherboard, so future upgrades are much more limited than what your link shows.

Going with those customized pre-built companies, it's very similar to your link.

Ultimately your comparison comes down to: How much money are you saving and what level of quality are you getting by getting this prebuilt vs building your own PC and buying a scalped GPU. Prebuilt PCs are going to often cheap out on parts that are less visible to the customer (Motherboard, Power Supply, Cooling, Etc...).

Your links aren't working for me for some reason. Just brings me to the website homepage so I can't comment on the parts but from the looks of it in the title the main components (CPU, GPU, Ram, SSD) all look great to me.

Lastly, I figured I'd mention that you don't "need" to buy Windows. You're perfectly allowed to install Windows 10 and not activate it. You'll lose some customization features like setting a desktop wallpaper and a few other things but you won't miss out on much. Put that budget into your components and figure Windows out later ;)

Seems like the PC went out of stock after i bought it :D Thats why the link is inactive

I've actually ordered the build today and made one replacement free of charge (GPU)
I replaced
Palit GeForce RTX 3060 StormX 12GB GDDR6 (1fan)
with
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 3060 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6 (2fans)

Should be here by next friday!

Maybe you could look into M.2 NVME SSDs as well, they are relatively cheaper now, and minimizes the amount of cables you need.
What I dislike about sata SSDs are the amount of cables needed to power them.

That is a good combo, for data backups just use an external hard drive.

What monitor are you using by the way? If you are running 60hz and 1080P, RTX3060 should be a beast for you.

i have a 75 Hz monitor to go with my laptop at the moment, but i plan to use that as 2nd monitor and buy a better one with next month salary because im broke right now after this PC purchase :D

Thats my current one https://www.x-kom.pl/p/361250-monitor-led-24-lg-24mp59g.html#Specyfikacja

I was kinda hoping to get a widescreen (21:9) but to be honest i havent done any research yet what to look for and what my setup can support.

But dont really want to spend another 500E for a monitor so we will see about this widescreen fantasy
