How much did you spend? You could've asked us here and I probably would've built you a better one for cheaper than what you paid for a prebuilt.



Spent a little over 3k

for a 1060? You got ripped the fuck off. Can you return it?

I just helped a friend build his PC with a 1080 TI and some really nice parts for under 2k.

I felt a 1060 would be sufficient enough. If need be I can upgrade it later. Plus I would rather buy a PC from a company so that's why I did.

It's all the same parts. They're charging you 1500$+ to build it, when you can bring all those parts to a computer guy near you and he'll do it for 200$ or so.

Actually, my list is probably a lot better than what you're using too.

Its a really common misconception that buying parts is worse than a whole PC, because if something breaks on your PC you have to cover the shipping in as a whole. Also all these "gaming" pc companies are just scams, we used to own a LAN center for gaming and we sold "gaming" pcs for 2-3x their worth.

If you buy parts, just keep the box and receipts. GTX replaced my GPU 2 years after my purchased because it went out after I overclocked it.

do your own thing, plebeians like allience think too highly of money, really can't expect a lot from the poor

100% positive I have 100 times your wealth lol. Spending more money on worse products is not what I do, regardless of how much money I have.
