Still waiting for someone to make Dawid's jokes compilation... very unique sense of humor from this man!

[@00shmee]

Let's do some quick math, the setup on Amazon is $330 US. The monitor by itself is just under $90 on Amazon, you got $20 in the headset, headset, keyboard, and mouse combo, the King Fast SSD is also about $20, the NVidia 750 Ti is about $40 on eBay, Windows, if they paid for a license, they probably did a $10 gray market key, and the computer and its RAM are probably free from recyclers, so that brings the component cost of the PC up to about $180. Add in like another $20 for labor, glitter, and RGB for $200. Even after Amazon's cut and shipping they are probably clearing about $70. Not bad.

[@grim653]

I really like watching your Vids you put a comedic spin on all the serious Spec/performance spread sheets everyone else does. Its a nice departure. Keep doing all the weird shit you do sir. NGL that Dell performed way better than expected. I think it was the RGB in the system.

[@ph0tom0to32]

My kid had something like this until I had enough handmedown parts to just buy a full size case and stuff them all in. This kind of thing is amazing for getting kids into their first PC. 350 bucks for a full PC set up is under the price point of current gen consoles so it's great for a kids christmas or birthday gift. And even though it's kind of expensive to upgrade, it can be done. As well part of the expense of PC gaming is the monitor and other accessories, so with this you can slowly swap in new parts or better accessories. 10/10 for any sellers who actually give out deals like this.

I also spent $300 on Amazon and eBay to build a system for one of my kids. Started with an i5-6500 Dell refurb system with 16GB DDR3L memory and a 128GB m.2 SATA SSD ($110). Added a 480GB SATA SSD ($25), low profile GT1030 2GB (DDR5 of course) video card ($45), cheap keyboard and mouse and headset ($30), and a 24 inch 1080p monitor ($90). It's not as beefy graphics wise but it's more than enough for the games they play. Hoping it holds out for 3-4 years and then they will be an adult and can buy their own. With this as a baseline, I hope it will allow them to make good decisions on what to replace it with.
