That includes monitor for $1746, so if you already have a monitor then knock off $286 making the machine sub $1500 before tax. Also you might be able to carry other components over from your old computer to your new one, like SSD/HD etc. as long as the parts are beefy enough to handle the newer specs. For example I brought over my old power supply because it was a 1000 watt PSU so I knew it could handle the power needed by the graphics card, processor, mobo etc. I also brought over my last m.2 SSD to add to my 1TB one that I bought to give me a backup drive of sorts.

This build is just something I threw together, there's more work that goes into each individual part to see which is best based on reviews of the product. PC Part Picker is a great website for tinkering around with builds.

I just built my new computer after I got taxes back and I spared very little expense. I would recommend looking up YouTube videos if you're going to compare pre-built vs. do it yourself. YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus/Pauls Hardware, BitWit, OC3D and JayzTwoCents have great content for builders and stick around certain price ranges as well.
Good advice GD. But I’m pretty sure we all know how to build a rig.
(btw another good all-in-one resource for n00b builders is
https://www.wepc.com/)

We’re looking for a good sub-$1K prebuilt rig in this thread though if you happen to see one.

I used to be on the bleeding edge when building a PC but with all the advancements and the warm weather just around the corner I just want to purchase a plug & play. Something that runs reliably with little effort. I can do my own tech support.

I've had horrible luck with SSD failures and don't want one unless I'm building or buying a LINUX box where the registry isn't integrated into every little operation. Plus 8g of memory isn't enough for 3D CAD.

Thanks for the input. I'm just going to pull the trigger on this one. Seems to be what I'm looking to purchase.

All my Windows 10 machines have SSD's and haven't encountered a single issue. I had far greater problems with 7200 rpm drives and raid than i've had with SSD.

This is insanity. SSD is god. Failures are extremely rare. No SSD, no performance.

If you're worried about performance, you should try using a real OS.

When game developers acknowledge a different OS I'll try one, but that's never going to happen with Windows absolutely dominating the market.

Right, I remember being a DOS try hard too and then windows 3.1 came and went. No problems right? Windows 95 came and I begrudgingly adopted it. Really no other choice if you're a gamer.

You buy a console, grit your teeth, and grin and bear it. I won't give Microsoft one more dime of my money. Yeah, I miss out on games here and there but overall, I can still play most of the big ones.
