The Best Custom Prebuilt Gaming PC Companies (Who has the Best Deals?)

[@Slow370Z]

While the best deal is important, I would rather pay $50 or $100 more and have better technical support and worry free help if anything goes wrong. Build Redux has help me without issue.

[@mikeh.9954]

Agreed!

[@JakeBlack999]

Been a Maingear customer since 2010, outstanding build quality and parts and really easy to work with / great support. On my third desktop gaming PC build from them, the first two still running including the one I got in 2010 (only change was video card upgrade later). Turnaround is pretty quick and I don't mind paying a few hundred more because I trust them and have had outstanding customer experience.

[@ourwrId]

speaking from personal experience, Build Redux is a great computer company. bought my pc from them about 2 years ago and pc is still running great, although I did pay $1400 for a RTX 3080 but that wasn’t too bad during COVID times.

This is just something to consider if you're looking and it takes aorund 2 - 4 weeks for people to get their PC.

[@ScotCinamon]

This is why you just build your own PC... You can control every aspect of it, like manufacturer of the important hardware, etc., and you're not paying for the overhead of someone building it for you. Plus you get some experience with all the components for when you want to swap something out down the road...

I just picked up a PC from Digital Storm. Was did it for me was their Customer Service & Lifetime Support (as well as 0.00% APR for 6 months).

[@esinohio]

DigitalStorm build times are wildly inaccurate on their site. Even their basic custom PC is a two-month minimum wait. They advertise a 10-15 business day turn around, it is FAR higher. My build has sat in their queue for over a month and hasn't even gotten to the stage where they pull parts. Be well aware of this before you order.

I mean the build free decks is good. You can go up all the way to an Intel core I 913600 K I mean that is pretty good and you can go all the way up to RTX 4090 that’s insane I don’t really think there’s such thing as entry-level and mid if you say entry-level is like an Intel core I three yeah but once you get above I three and get an I five and I seven and I nine they’re pretty much all in the same category of being a gamer

I just bout an iBuyPower, and I think I am going to have to send it back.

Ad in the skimpy 90 day warranty for a refurbished unit (I've had Dell refurb unit last over a decade). Tech support was very little help. Now I have to deal with them again to send the thing back. Just watching this video, I am already up to 72 deg C.

A quick thing I noticed with Build Redux: their prices for each component are abnormally high. Heres what they say these GPUs cost, and how much they actually cost: 1650: $210 ($156) 3050: $350 ($220) 3060 8gb: $400 ($260) 4060 Ti 8gb: $440 ($400) 4070: $670 ($585) 3080 10gb: $800 (no longer in stock, used at about $400) 4070 ti: $900 ($790) 4080: $1300 ($1100) 4090 $1800 ($1590) They are being upfront with the part costs, which I like, but they honestly should've kept them hidden since they are massively overcharging for most of their parts.

[@jdibo]

I’m pretty new at this and I’m currently looking to buy a pre build. I also really do not know much of anything about computer parts and what works better with what. All I’m really looking for is a computer that can play mw2 and some other games like the last of us part one when it comes to pc in a few weeks. I currently have a Xbox one s and I don’t want to buy a new console. Therefore I’d much rather switch to a gaming desktop. If anyone has any suggestions on where to look or if any has bought a decent desktop that they recommend I’d very much appreciate it! Mainly something that can be upgraded throughout the years to come and something that can play games that are out now with atleast 100fps. I know that may be vague, I’ll take any suggestions though

[@JesseThePotatoHunter]

What is your max price? Pc gaming can get pricy when you want to go all out but if you do go all out then you pretty much have every system ever made as emulators are love

[@jdibo]

@@JesseThePotatoHunter through out these past few days I’ve been doing tons of research so I can atleast get a idea of what it’ll be like to build my own pc. And from what I’ve been learning I’ve become gravitated towards building my own since it’s more customizable. I’ve found a decent motherboard (GIGABYTE B650M DS3H) and the processor I plan on buying is a Ryzen 5 7600x with a RX 6700XT Graphics card. From there I was able to find a cpu cooler and power supply that works with this specific motherboard. It took a ton of hours a day this past week researching all of this but compared to buying a pre-build with the same specs and all of that I easily would’ve spent 2 grand. By the time I buy everything like the case, RAM and memory & monitor it’ll still be cheaper rather then buying a prebuilt. Also my budget is around 1 to $1.4k

[@mart182003]

@JosephDiBenedetto Yes sir that's a good combo I have similar parts just the motherboard is an Asus ROG strix b650a really just because of aesthetics but I do like the features as well. For gaming especially the 6700xt is a good bang for buck I got mine used and I saved on the ram,cooler and fans. I ended spending like 1300 I think. You can run high fps on 1440 and run like 100 give or take on 4k. I switched from ps5 and I can tell the difference it's a better experience imo.

[@jdibo]

@@mart182003 that sounds sweet, I didn’t think I’d be able tic run 4k! I’m so close to having all my parts. I just need to order the RX 6700xt. Also a monitor. Would you happen to have any recommendations on 1080p or 1440p 144hz monitors that won’t break the bank? Lol

[@deek4344]

Considering the difference in those games you want something with at least 12g RAM and a graphics card thats a little past Ryzen 5-5500. To be realistic I don't honestly know how to pinpoint exactly what pc build would be good but components wise you would need something around there. My first PC was a HP gaming pavilion with the 5500 and 8g RAM and just to give you and idea, I could RUN most games but there was almost no chance I wouldn't be tweaking with graphics everytime. I won't sugar coat it either, if you are looking to play with smooth processing and good looking gameplay, you're gonna spend at LEAST $1000 -$1500 and just because of how much parts cost and total out to I'd be amazed if you find something good that's in the middle of 1000 and 1500 the hp I bought was a stock made from Walmart for like 675 and the PC I upgraded to was around $2100. It's no joke that real, beautiful PC processing for a good gaming experience is quite costy but I absolutely encourage you to research as much as you can. Hopefully I was of at least some help.

[@cam_mich]

@@deek4344 Thanks for letting me know. Running rocket league is not hard at all im sure a 500$ computer like yours can run it pretty well and that is mostly what I play.
