Can’t decide if this is a good deal or not. It’s 3060 but I should get this, right?

    I didn’t know Home Depot sold computers.

  2. $900 for a machine with a 3060?

    There must be some mistake. Costco has accidentally added $150-200 to the price of it, right?

  3. DunkeysPizzaChan

    300 for cpu/mobo 300 for card 60 for RAM OS and SSD basically nothing it’s a little steep but you are paying for new

  4. Alamanoed203B

    You can go with the am5 platform at that price. The MB and PSU is not listed also so it is a no for me.

  5. Difficult_Ad_5544

    Honestly not terrible 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you’re talking price point alone. Wouldn’t be a bad pick up for entry level then upgrade GPU.

    this is how much it would cost to build yourself about. I picked the cheapest 3060 and as budget as possible while not being trash for every other part

  7. Artistic-Economy6732

    I’m not the best at pricing things but seems a bit overpriced for me. Granted I build my computers so that shaves some money off but I feel it’s $100 over maybe? Someone tell me how off I am.

  8. ArmoredAngel444

    That’s a really good deal for a 13700f + 3060 12gb build to be honest.

    The cpu and gpu alone is about $650, so +$250 for mobo, ram, 1tb ssd, cpu cooler, psu, pc case and pre-built sounds pretty good to me.

  9. NoStructure5034

    Nice deal, but I’d try to look for something with a better GPU for just a little more oomph. The CPU doesn’t really matter because you’ll likely be GPU bottlenecked anyway.

    If this is the best one you can find, that’s fine as well.

  10. Parrot-Neck-Dance

    I assume this is USD cuz if it was was CAD holy shit

  11. CacophonousCuriosity

    I bought a prebuilt 2 years ago for 1200 (back when 30 series was in short supply). Had a 3060 and an i5. I’d consider this a pretty good deal tbh.

  12. GLHFToyStory

    It’s a good price. You should get it if you want it

  13. Go for it. At worst you’ll have to replace the AIO in a year or two.

  14. It’s a decent system and a decent price. Is it the best value on earth? Nope. Is it a decent value and a system that will absolutely run current triple A titles in respectable performance, yep. This sub can’t get past that building isn’t for everyone, lol.

  15. UsaToVietnam

    State of PC gaming makes me sad. Wish prices went down. If I was 16 again I would for sure be on an Xbox instead

  16. EternallyImature

    I think this is a reasonable deal.

  17. Hotweinerspecial

    I picked up a similar model with the 3070 and 12700f (minus the extra ram and storage) for 1000 last year. It’s a decent machine. If you’re good with 1080/1440 I think this would be good for most games. I would recommend swapping the cooler though if you plan on running more demanding games. The peerless assassin fits and works really well.

  18. Quegyboe

    Would be a great deal at around 25 lbs but at 30 lbs? Nah

  19. minefarmbuy

    Seems a decent price. Will have to make up you’re own mind on wether to buy.

  20. sktlastxuan

    Not bad but not great either, yes $899 for 13700f 3060 and tons of storage is good, but for gaming the 3060 will bottleneck the 13700f and the motherboard, ssd and psu choice could be questionable.

  21. Necessary_Sun_4392

    Holy shit a “should I buy this post” where its actually a good deal.

    ![gif](giphy|9lusxBBUsTz8Fk029b|downsized)

  22. Practical_Mulberry43

    This is a fantastic deal… At least if you’re not going to build your own or try to play Skylines 2…

    Most older games and even AAAs should be fine. Just don’t expect to put everything on Ultra+ but mix of Medium & high.

    Should game really well otherwise, 3TB is plenty of space, plenty of RAM and a strong i7, 12gb VRAM isn’t bad either.

    Maybe check the PSU? Only thing I don’t see listed that could be cause for concern going forward, especially if you want to upgrade the GPU but just food for thought.

    Best of luck with your purchase and happy gaming!!

  23. CyborgChicken-

    Not sure. Please purchase it and send it to the address listed the message I send you. I’ll test it out for you and let you know if it’s a good deal ^^/s

  24. I bought an ibp from bestbuy within 3 months it wouldn’t boot through normal use. Reason was a combination of shitty air flow, shitty case, shitty power supply. Don’t buy ibp

  25. JBPunt420

    I have an MSI GE70 from 2012. It’s obsolete as hell, but it still works. For what little it’s worth, I have a positive opinion of MSI laptops and will definitely get another one when this thing finally bites the dust. I’d recommend ’em.

  26. AdvancedCitron1024

    Honestly I still think the 3060 12gb is the better buy than 4060 8gb so yeah I think that’s a decent Pc for a decent price

  27. Secondaccountpls

    There is always a risk that prebuilds are filled with bloatware but debloating shouldnt be too complicated. Specs are pretty ok for the price only little bit worried about the GPU but it should still run all new games in low- medium settings 50-60fps. Wish we could see whats the cpu cooler on that thing.

  28. 0comeandplay0

    I didn’t read any of the comments but I’m sure others have told you by now not to buy pre-builts doesn’t make any financial sense why you would build somebody a PC that’s actually worthwhile the fans are going to be cheap the CPU cooler is going to be cheap there’s going to be cheap screws. DONT DO IT!!!!
