    Hello Own_Individual_975, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    If you can’t afford two monitors, don’t buy two monitors. There are cheaper pre builts available. Ask people who live in your country on this subreddit for suggestions

    Only get a curved monitor if you’ve already tested one out as it takes some getting used to.

  4. Check Facebook marketplace. Especially for monitors, but it’s a bit hit or miss on the actual pc

    Bog standard “8GB of VRAM isn’t enough” comment

    Have you estimated how long it will take you to save ~2k? Depending, that money could very well buy something better down the line. I would focus on hitting your budget, researching, and returning with any questions when you’re closer to your mark.

    From first glance it looks overpriced. The processor is last gen so quite curious what the graphics card is

    Drop to 1 monitor and go for 1440p above 27 inch. The difference is noticeable. If you really need a second monitor for productivity or just having discord/net things up go get a crappy second monitor from goodwill or FB marketplace.

    The picture of the PC doesn’t really help. We can see the processor and amount of ram and that’s it. Sure, I could find that PC myself with the info given, but it’d be a lot cooler if you just gave us the full specs out of the gate but for that price on an average sale I’d expect the GPU to be a 5080, assuming this is USD.

    A pc with a. 12700F for 2k in 2025😭 what the fuck.

    Skytech ia notorious for over priced builds.
    For the 2k cost, it should come with a 14700kf, or 14900kf. Or amd 7900x-7800x3d.
    And bottom fans, cooling up to the gpu, if that case supports it.

    You can always parse your parts as you have money.
    A mid tower case can hold at, down to itx boards.
    Psu at 1000w or more, will work with almost anything.
    Aio’s are universal fit at this point.
    120mm, and 140mm fans are used in 99% of cases.
    Can get what you like slowly, as you earn money. And still be ahead some. Prices only go up.

    It’s a whole lot better to just build one yourself.

    You can’t afford a pc, but you’re going for a two thousand pound pc i’m a little bit confused

    See if you can find a micro center near you. They are your best bet and usually won’t steer you wrong.
