New Computer Build Thoughts?

[ItzLogan]

Good evening,

Below I will post the specification of a build I'm looking to purchase, I will just copy and paste the whole spec list so you see everything. I just want some opinions on what other people think. One question is should I change the out the 5700 for a much more expensive 2080s? Please answer the poll after you have read it, it also helps.

If it’s a prebuilt then no

Why do you say this?

Why do you say this?

you can get better value if you build it yourself

 

[ItzLogan]

you can get better value if you build it yourself

Not worried about the value, is there any other reasons? It would be from iBuyPower.

Just that, if you don’t mind paying way more than you’re supposed to then it’s alright I guess. I feel like your CPU is too powerful compared to the GPU you chose though.

What if I dropped the GPU and put in the 2080s instead?

if it’s alright could you lmk how much your budget is, and what the pc is for? I can make you a balanced part list on PCPartPicker.

 

[ItzLogan]

The build I listed there is only $1,500. I would like to stay close to that although if the computer good I'd be willing to go to around $2,000 give or take a couple hundred.

Kk, mainly for gaming or productivity? I’ll give you a list once I get home

Think about what games and what task you want to do and if the gpu and cpu would be needed to do those things. If you are going to play just minecraft you would not need rtx 2080.

I have heard rumors about the 30 series coming out next year. So if you want a graphics card now stick with the lower priced on the higher end. I would say, of course I can also be wrong

Minecraft, Rainbow 6, Fortnite, Modern Warfare, GTA V, Rust , maybe a few other games.[DOUBLEPOST=1573787297][/DOUBLEPOST]

So go 5700 then snag a 30 series next year?[DOUBLEPOST=1573787320][/DOUBLEPOST]

Here's a build that's a little bit under your budget with good enough specs to play the games you listed: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JetFailsAtLife/saved/BpG9GX

Okay, I’ll check it out.

Wait until Black Friday before you buy, there'll be some good offers on then.

You should just build your own. Not only will you save a lot of money, but you can handpick high quality parts. Companies such as iBuyPower and CyberPowerPC often cut corners on components many people don't really care about, so you'll probably have cheap RAM, a cheap PSU, cheap fans, cheap motherboard, etc., and although these parts often seem to work fine to the average consumer, they are more likely to experience premature failure and other problems.

There's also something special about building it yourself. You'll learn about every component and how all of these components fit together to make a complete system. This means you'll have a better understanding of what to troubleshoot when something breaks or isn't performing optimally, and you'll feel confident upgrading and changing out parts and tweaking your system throughout the years.

And there's actually no reason not to build it yourself other than laziness, and that's not really a proper reason unless you're rich. If a bunch of children on YouTube can do it, so can you. Just do your research and make a list of things you have to do in order.

For comparison to the iBuyPower computer you shared, if you built the same computer yourself, you could get a higher quality build for around $1200, and I assume you're paying upwards of up to $2000 for it and even paying extra for things such as "professional wiring" (wiring is not that important or difficult) or Windows OS costs (you can buy a Windows license key on eBay for $3). That $800 could go towards much better components and a top of the line GPU such as the RTX 2080 Ti which has double the FPS in games than the one in that build. If you have any follow up questions, feel free to ask.
