Gateway. Everyone says Acer is a good brand

It is the manufacturer of the components that count.



CyberpowerPC from Amazon 1170 dollars.



Intel core i7-12700f and RTX 3060.





Should blow the laptop out of the water.





Bear in mind that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are sold separately.

What about Alienware from Dell or order from Falcon Northwest (they are one of the best around IMO)

To get best bang for your buck, don't get anything more than a 1K monitor (1080p) or at most only 2K, else you'll need to start pimping everything else up.

She knows this, she also knows she's not tech savvy to the level of picking out individual components and assembling them. No shame in that, but you're right - buying pre-made carries a labour component that presupposes a cut in performance.

It is an awful waste of money... You dont have to be tech savvy to put things together since they are basically plug&play.



There is a 800 to 1000 euro difference between prebuilt and DIY.





You can update the Intel i7-13700k to i9-13900k.



And the RTX 4070 Ti to 4090 OC.

Again, we both know all of that. We also know (or at least should know) that there are people in this world that see the insides of those towers as completely arcane and confusing as hell. I'm not saying Erica couldn't learn it either, but hers and Linus Sebastian's knowledge and confidence in pc builds are worlds apart. Even swapping out a graphics card would be an exercise in nail biting frustration, particularly if it didn't work out right first time. That has been known to happen, particularly when it comes to installing drivers.



She wants an out of the box experience. So it's more expensive than having someone ship her the parts and assembling it, in the end she's getting what she asked for. You and I would do things a little differently if it were us of course. I'd contend the suggestions you made regarding the Cyberpower option warrants shortlisting at the very least. though if it were me, then the first thing I'd be doing is unplugging the RGB at the least. That stuff shits me to tears.  



For shits and giggles I took an old HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF about a year ago now. Pulled out the mechanical HDD, replaced it with a matched pair of WD SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, swapped the CPU out for a 4770, put in a GTX 1650 and a pair of 8 GB Kingstons. Thing flies faster than it has a right to now and I've hung three monitors out of the bastard, two at 1080, one at 2160. The spec sheet claimed it couldn't be done (the power supply is only rated at 240 watts) but it seems stable enough and I've yet to blackscreen it. Pretty sure I've done as much to the box as I can reasonably get away with, though if an A2000 lands in my lap any time soon I might see about a head to head comparison.

Its hard to say... We have pretty good consumer protection laws and you dont have to deal with some ignorant pakistani in the customer service.





The main parts of which your regular customer cares about, are all solid.





But the mobo and the PSU are question marks.





And its running a bit warm when playing something like RDR2... Its the fan cooler.



You can easily fix that.





The reviews and benchmarks are all good... The reviews only complain about trivial shit like cable management.

[Odinson]

Did you get it?


It looks like I'm gonna have to spend near 3000 euros on the central unit alone..

And then buy the monitor, keyboard and mouse.



I want a PC that can run the upcoming God of war Ragnarök.

I aint playing that on low graphics detail.
