What PC to get?

bubbyl · May 10, 2021

I’m moving into a new house here in exactly 1 week and I want to get a PC when I move in. I’m totally unskilled at building my own so I don’t think that’s an option.

Do you all have any recommendations? Budget probably ~1K with some flexibility.

thanks

i would probably go for one of asus rog strix PC's, costs around 700€ here. Thats enough for most of the games to run with decent fps. maybe look for bit more ram and bigger ssd.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650
8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD

The market for graphics cards is so rough right now... Even with a 1k budget, if you're looking for prebuilds with decent performance-value ratios it can be incredibly hard.

I've seen some Lenovo Legion prebuilds floating around with some decent hardware at somewhat reasonable prices, the suggestion above isn't a bad one at all either, I'd like to see a link that actually shows such a pc listed for that price though...

Since you arent looking to build a pc yourself and since graphics cards are almost impossible to get without waiting for drops. I recommend you use NZXT's BLD service. They charge base price for components and you only pay for labor.
