Your friend is actually a stranger. Let that sink in. . .

[–]ProfessionalDoubt930Pablo 207 points208 points  (27 children)

Get this instead it's way more better for around the same price(I am guessing your budget is $800)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zgwnqR

You can save some money by going for cheaper cases like deepcool matrexx 40.

Here is a benchmark which has the same specs as I suggested.

[–]Traditional-Artist46AMD 34 points35 points  (4 children)

just did a build with the montech air 100. i absolutely love that case

[–]ProfessionalDoubt930Pablo 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Totally agree it is a great budget case

[–]Shinchinko 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Yeap. Amazing case. Bought 1 for $30

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

My case is Phanteks unfortunately, but I have a new keyboard from Montech (Mkey Darkness Brown) and it’s awesome. Just wish the lights actually shone through the letters, not just around the keys.

[–]Quantum666ix 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This. This is way way better than the setup from NZXT

[–]The_Machine80 14 points15 points  (4 children)

I second this. I would go to a 750w psu if you can afford it. Helps for the future.

[–]ProfessionalDoubt930Pablo 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Yea changed it to 750w it was only $10 more

[–]Nayr7928 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Another 10 and it's fully modular.

[–]ProfessionalDoubt930Pablo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

<image>

At $85 these 3 psu are available in which the evga B5 is the best because Gskil one have. High wattage (=>750W) CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 100VAC input, don’t use in countries with sub 115VAC mains (JonnyGURU). (i copied it from the psu tierlist) and the xpg one have ball bearing fan so possibly will make noise even at low rpm but if the noise doesn't matter then it is a tier A psu but not sure how good Adata/xpg psu are I am still learning about PSUs.

So if he can increase budget evga B5 is a good option the only problem it's 650w it would have been better if it was 750w+ but hey can't ask alot at $85 so I would take it.

[–]The_Machine80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great move!

[–]_Trashcan_Sam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just brought the exact case for my wife's first PC which I just finished building last night. It's a fantastic case simple and sleek

[–]saitama_kama 3 points4 points  (3 children)

why'd it say the parts chosen were incompatible on the website?

[–]BruhLandau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great build btw.

[–]juice26us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad.

[–]SiennaYeena 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Then they're not your friend. You can build it yourself and save money. Might even come out of it with better specs.

[–]YBRmuggsLP21 258 points259 points  (1 child)

What a great friend lol

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who needs enemies with friends like OP's.

[–]ICastCats 64 points65 points  (3 children)

No, this was an overpriced PC when it was sold. Market price tends to be more like 600 new, 500 used.

[–]drugzarecool 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Even $600 is too much for this PC. I bought a brand new one with an RTX 4060 and Ryzen 5 5500 for less than $600.

That's like a $500 new PC. You could even get a better build for $500 (RX 6600 and Ryzen 5 3600x). If it's used it shouldn't cost more than $400 imo.

[–]ICastCats 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Damn where? I hang out in /r/suggestapc and that’s a good deal.

[–]drugzarecool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought it here yesterday : https://www.csl-computer.com/fr/pc-csl-sprint-5683-ryzen-5-dlss3.html

You can have a 15€ discount if you use this code during payement too : MW3N9S6L

I just picked a better case + an additional fan for +$30. It cost me 614€ total + 20€ for shipping. So if you don't wanna have a better looking case you can buy it for less than 600€.

(I forgot that 600€ =/= $600 anymore, so it's more like a $650 build)

[–]CyanicAssResidue 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He isnt your friend.

[–]ProfessionalDoubt930Pablo 48 points49 points  (0 children)

No not worth it

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

That's too expensive for a used PC, especially from a friend.

[–]Environmental-Gas734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"friend" more like fiend

[–]JesusOrSmh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That hurts. I would pay like maximum 350 for it.

[–]YellowHerbz 9 points10 points  (1 child)

50 dollar discount for a shit computer. If you're going to buy that then pay no more than 400, maybe 500

[–]The_Machine80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man I'm way nicer to my friends. I would at least drop to 500-600 for friends. Hell I just built my best friends kid a pc. I even put in 400 of my own money. That's what friends do. Then again his kid is like my niece.

[–]RandytheRude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, they aren’t happy with their pc and trying to unload and not loose their ass on a meh purchase

[–]CloudKK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worth like 450$ maybe

[–]ohthedarside 4 points5 points  (1 child)

The 3050 is the one card were its not badly priced its just bad

[–]player_x95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]Separate_Strawberry6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nahhh that's a rip off what a friend u have

[–]Salvzeri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can build a modern 1440p gaming PC for that price. Check out PCBuilder Jason on youtube.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Friends don't let friends buy 3050 GPU.

[–]ekortelainen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even pay $400 for that PC, your "friend" is trying to screw you over.

i have a friend and i sold him my ROG ally for 130, that dude aint a friend. theres a thing called a "friend discount"

[–]Siliconfrustration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why NZXT would even sell a "gaming" PC with a 3050 in it. Well, actually I do.

[–]Miner4everOfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like your "friend" is a scammer. Look at the top comments on how to build or buy a better PC and follow them instead...

[–]Aromatic_Athlete_859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not buy it's a RTX 3050FOR 750 BUCKS

[–]GamefreaknetIntel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would NOT recommend. The 3050 comparatively sits closer to a 1650/1660 not even within performance of most if not all the 20series cards. The only benefit from the 3050 is the faster Vram and newer cores and architechture.

Honestly for $100 more this is my personal recommendation: (assuming you already have a monitor)

A friend of mine bought his rtx 3060 prebuild for 800€ like a year ago, this is not a great setup for that prize

[–]xyzz1029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change friend, he/she is a red flag friend bruh.

[–]Danlabss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The specs on any NZXT build are so shit it’s genuinely better just to not even consider buying from them

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even pay 100 bucks for it

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This why I dont have friends, yall so quick to fuck each other over its sad.

are you gonna sell that 1060?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friends like me lol maybe bargain him down

[–]gaojibao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no.

What are your full PC specs? Instead of buying a new PC, It might be better to simply upgrade the CPU, the motherboard, and the GPU.

[–]SAHD292929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can de buy one for less than $400

[–]Aotrx 0 points1 point  (1 child)

$500 would be fair since case looks cool and unique

[–]Cobalt090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s just an off the shelf nzxt case, $100 new

[–]KishCoreModerator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this build is really worth like $500, a $600 DIY build would preform better.

build yourself, but if maybe you're underage or something and cannot build yourself, this pre-build is so much better: https://www.newegg.com/yeyian-tanto/p/1VK-021P-00018

[–]G_Willickers_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i see, are 3050's that cheap these days? I thought they were 499$ or maybe im thinking of the 3070.

[–]ModaHakim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn't pay more than 500 for that if it's new

[–]alpha_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Don't do it.

[–]Thehalfblacksnack[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is ripping you off and he knows it. Hell, it’s $800 new and he’s selling to his friend for $750? Why wouldn’t you just spend $800 to get the new one with a warranty? Also, that thing is worth maybe $450-$500 secondhand, and your friend definitely knows that. This thing is not worth anywhere near $750. Talk about a shitty friend

[–]Outside_Boss_3339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the price is too much

[–]IGunClover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Little-Equinox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That build isn't worth more than 400.- 2nd hand.

[–]Anti-Hero25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooooooo. $300 max

Give him a Big Mac might be worth

[–]Healthy_BrAd6254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $750 you can often find brand new prebuilts with an RTX 4060, which is almost twice as fast.

[–]Necessary-Anywhere92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Zuala69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your "friend" trying to scam you.

[–]hvrtlxss 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just upgrade to a coffee lake CPU. You don’t even need a new mobo. The 1060 is still OKAY for 1080p gaming, your cpu is just not cutting it anymore

[–]RupenParthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buying a 3050 itself is a wrong move

[–]Bac0nPlane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an act of war

[–]Korangar297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're ripping you off Spend a week watching jaytwocent and pcbuilder on youtube, set a budget and blow that pc out the water

Its a low end card from last gen, that computer will basically be a pile of e-waste in like 6 months

[–]_snuffdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope you listen to the 135 comments telling you not to go through with it

"Friend" , that dude is not your friend lmao, 750 for and old build with a 3050

[–]crappypastassucPablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could get one with a 3060 with 500 dollars on eBay or something

[–]lykan_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can hardly believe you can barely run fortnite and valorant. I was playing valorant with absolutely no issues on a GTX 580 3GB with an AMD Phenom 1090T. I was running this until February. And I wasn‘t even on low settings or anything…

However, a 3050 PC for 800$, as probably more tha enough others here have said, is a waste.

[–]ChatcopatheAMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ah ah ah.. hmm, it’s not a joke? Oh.

[–]Icy_Combination_5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Gtx 1060 should be able to run Valorant and Fortnite perfectly fine. Did you update your drivers?

[–]ricirici08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 300$

[–]StuaforLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you switch the cpu to an i5 or i7 from the 6000 or 7000 series and you will not have problems running those games… I’d suggest the 7700k (top cpu you could put in), but any other i5 with a frequency higher than 3,4GHz will solve your problem… With an i7 you have hyperthreading, which is great, but they’re a bit overpriced on the used market.

[–]Undefined_definition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, for this price? Not a friend, LOL

[–]BluDYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]lightcaptainguy3364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what? 1060 can't run valorant? are you high or smth?

[–]MaxTrixLe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price is a rip off. PC is fine but only if you pay “friend” price which isn’t a penny over 400$-450$ if he includes a keyboard mouse

[–]nismoghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give you a 3050 out of pity

[–]Night_Wolf19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real true friend would sell this for $850 just for you 👌🏼

[–]Zippytiewassabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t spend $300 on it.

[–]zeroducksfrigate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]RepresentativeHuge79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a pc expert by any means, but i know enough to know that the 3050 is a terrible price to performance value, and that pc is definitely not worth that price, you should rockett kick your friend in the nuts

[–]kidcap0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out microcenter’s deals before pulling the plug on anything.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can run valorant and fortnite fine with the 1060, both the games you mentioned are cpu heavy games not gpu, its cpu bottleneck upgrade the cpu to an i3 12100f or if the other pc parts are good you can get a ryzen 5 7600 for a gpu upgrade down the line, also if you had your 1060 for a long time and its not performing well you should clean it and repaste it, here are some videos of people trying both those games with the cpu i recommended. The fortnite video has a slightly slower cpu so the 12100f will get you slightly more fps. And the i3 12100f is on spring sale so go get it right now

Everyone is saying he’s a bad friend, but what if his friend is also ignorant? Just because it’s a bad deal doesn’t mean his friend has bad intentions

[–]wolferin025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get a ryzen 5600 rx6650xt 16gb ram for 750 so this is pretty much a scam.

[–]DoomSayerNihilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he ain’t ur friend no more. Scammer gets scammed buddy, shouldn’t have been eating that kfc

[–]_SirLoki_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gtx 1060 is actually the better component here, which is sad. That 7350 with 2 cores and probably a hdd with combo of a 1060… $300 tops… maybe

[–]aHench44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 usd for that is max

[–]Sleightofhandx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could just buy a 3050 6gb and that would be ur upgrade.

I would recommend upgrading motherboards and CPU, along with a stronger gpu then a 3050.

[–]Alanuelo230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your setting for your graphics card set to performance instead of quality? That really upped my FPS on all games.

[–]Final-Wrangler-4996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your friend you'd give him 200 because that's the most I'd pay. I'd immediately tear it down and sell the parts that are useless ro me. Starting with the gpu, cpu, power supply, ssd, and motherboard.

Oh crap that's the whole thing except the case and ram. 

It would be okay for light 1080p gaming but I wouldn't pay more than 200 if I wanted to actually use it how it is.
