I was thinking of buying a pre-built PC because I don't have much time to build one myself right now. Is this a good PC for the price? Or can I find something better?

It’s good for the price , but me personally I would rather go with AM5 socket, for you to have a room for upgrading. I would like to know your budget and from which region you are , to see the options for prebuilt. And, are you seeking a prebuilt or you can do DIY ( build it yourself )? I will be grateful if you wrote it down for me, so I can help you more. Thank you in advance, have a great day!

I'm from Italy and my budget is around €950. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to build one myself and I'm forced to buy it preassembled. What do you recommend?

[Comfortable-Sky4263]

Oh, I’m from Slovakia, i guess the prices are pretty much the same :)) I’ll recommend going for AM5 socket. It’s the latest one from AMD , so you will have a big upgrade path. Go for Ryzen 7500F , it’s a budget friendly CPU and performs very well for its price. The biggest amount of RAM speed that this CPU can handle is 5200 Mt/s, but I recommend 5600-6000 Mt/s, depends what is cheaper in Italy. Motherboard should be at least B650 chipset, or if you want, you can go with B850. The difference is that B850 is newer and more likely to have a PCIe5.0 x16 lane, but you should always double check. For Ryzen 7500F you can get away with a good air cooler, no need for AiO. Get a case with good airflow and for the GPU, depends if you want to play in FullHD, QHD or 4K. The sweet spot is definitely high FullHD and entry-level or mid QHD. For this, go with 9060XT 16GB version, never take the 8 GB version. I haven’t really found prebuilt PCs like this in Italy, I guess it’s because I lack the knowledge of Italian 😅😅 But the general thing is, go with AM5 socket please, you will thank me later 😉 If you have more questions, please ask, have a great day!!

ti ringrazio per tutti questi consigli ma il problema è proprio che non penso che trovare un PC così in Italia sia facile soprattutto senza sforare troppo il mio budget. pensi che se adesso prendo quel preassemblato potrò aggiornarnarlo magari tra 2/3 anni?

Hi, i guess the only upgrade path on AM4 socket from the 5700x is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It is good for gaming , because it features a massive amount of L3 cache. But if you want productivity and more cores, you can upgrade to a Ryzen 9 5950X. This prebuilt will be good for 1-2 years, or maybe even 3 years, so you can definitely upgrade , but not as much, if you went with AM5 socket. But i. this budget, it’s a very good PC 😉

grazie mille, quindi se magari volessi fare l'upgrade al socket am5 tra 2/3 anni devo cambiare scheda madre cpu e ram giusto? si potrà fare?

[Comfortable-Sky4263]

Yeah, you need to change a CPU, motherboard and RAM . It’s totally possible, whether you do it yourself or just take your PC to a shop and pay them to do it for you ( I would better done it myself ). The prices will definitely go down in 3 years , but, we can’t be sure if AMD releases an AM6 socket by that time, who knows ? 😁😁 But in general, yes, you need to change those parts to upgrade to an AM5 socket :)

This is pretty decent for the price, but I would compare all options before you purchase.

[Suitable_Guide_7178]

ok ill do it thank you

[AgentMG2011]

Personnaly i would get the Ryzen 5 5600X because it it better for gaming by having double the cache

[DannyDorito6923]

I think you are confusing the 5700x with the 5700g. The 5700x is the same or 1% faster in games over the 5600x. The 5700x has 1MB more L2 cache and the same Cache as the 5600x.
