I'm looking to get my 10 y/o & 13 y/o their first gaming PC and I'm trying to land around $1k . Big Christmas gift this year. I was between this Andromeda Insights build vs Cost Plus Gaming Eco M1. Andromeda looks to be the better value: double the memory and storage, at the expense of a slightly slower CPU.
My only concern is the airflow of the Andromeda case vs the Cost Plus M1 Flow case. Would the smaller volume of the case + one less fan have a negative impact on airflow and lead to higher temps?
Also, if anyone can offer feedback on their experience with Andromeda (and / or) this specific tier system, that would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, am I safe buying now, or should I wait till black Friday?
