Posting another spec is not really useful mr Spydertracks.

If it was me, the only bits I'd keep are the case, the GPU (assuming it's for 1080p/1440p gaming) and the OS.

Very helpful, especially the part where you say why exactly.

It's impossible to say without the requested info I'm afraid, you're asking for too much at this stage

You could ask for the requested info, but my question is stated to serious people with tech knowledge, not forum trolls.

Aah, I see, you're one of them, all the best to you then, hope you get the flame war you're looking for, have reported you

You could ask for the requested info

The information was asked in post #2, once you've entered all of them, we can suggest a suitable PC for your needs.

The build you posted is really terrible in every possible way: Intel platform, low-quality motherboard, slow RAM, mediocre GPU, completely insufficient PSU for an upgradeable system, single M.2, low-quality and prone to failure cooler.

Unlike @TonyCarter, I would just save the case from that PC.

Thanks for making sense. Why is Intel terrible? GPU is based on budget, why is the PSU not suitable? What SSD would you recommend? Same for cooler what would you suggest? Thanks for all the feedback, appreciate it!

It’s a troll mate, don’t offer any support, admins have been advised

 

[Booms]

Cool thanks I will get my advise somewhere else then.

Where are you based, given your budget in euro?

This post can be closed, I will focus on one of the preconfigured desktop PC's. Thanks all.

I will indeed close this thread. But to @Booms I would say that it would’ve been worth checking the post that was put forward to you as it’s insanely helpful to provide the requested info within. It allows others to assist you without going back and forth over and over again to ascertain your needs.

I can see that you’ve edited your original post to provide some of that information, which now makes this thread look a little out of context. It would be a shame to focus on a preconfigured system as they’re never quite the zeitgeist of what you could get for money.

Consider this thread locked, if you want to come back and try again feel free to open up a new one. It’s a bit salty here to continue.
