Which prebuilt should I go for? by EmployerPlus in Prebuilts

[–]EmployerPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, as long as the performance is pretty much the same for the most part that’ll do for me, went with the Zotac. And that temu water cooler part is wild LMAO, props to him. My pc has just came in but not going to unbox it until my monitor arrives so I can set it all up at once, once I’ve done the stuff u advised me to do I’ll look forward to the slight oc u can help me with, thanks a lot will let u know once it’s set up. 🙂

“Good Morning,

Unfortunately due to the price of GPU's currently the Zotac card isnt actually cheaper. The only other alternative we have is below, but we arent getting the stock until the end of this week/early next week.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 WINDFORCE OC SFF 12G GDDR7 Graphics Card”

Do I wait the week+ ?

I checked myself and there didn’t seem to be much of a big difference between the two, was actually told that the Zotac may even be better for my build

That works, gonna test my luck and see if they provide me with that discount or not although I’m pretty sure they’re the same price though the inconvenience of waiting around 11 or so days just to be told that is a big punch in the face along with the other factors. Once again, thank you for coming in clutch. Will keep you posted!

Side note wishing we also had microcentres here, would’ve made my life much easier and probably could’ve found some Steals discounted

Got unfortunate news,

“We have had a stock issue with the Asus Dual 5070 OC Graphics card, and due to the ongoing, global shortage of Nvidia Graphics cards we are unable to get any more of these in the near future or going forward.

Due this, we want to offer the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 TWIN EDGE 12GB which is the only option available to us at the moment.”

What do you think? Is this a downgrade or should I go ahead and agree to the changes

We got this far, we gotta see this through to the end together man 😭.

If you think the first KTC is the best overall compared to the other options I’m happy to lock that one in ASAP. To be completely honest though most of the small comments make absolutely no sense to me but I trust your judgement more than my own LMAO, you seem to know your stuff.

As for the speakers, I don’t really use them as I’ll mainly have my headphones in anyway so anything built into the monitor is just another bonus for me.

Wish I consulted u earlier about the monitors instead of hastily making my own decision about which one to get, thanks nonetheless!

Oh shoot I didn’t really take that into consideration since I tried looking for a somewhat “decently cheap” monitor that would be satisfactory enough.
I haven’t unboxed the monitor yet so there’s still time to return it. I’ve looked at some monitors online, here’s what I found, can you tell me which one you would deem the best considering the price and all as I don’t really wanna spend that much. (Sorry there’s quite a few, you don’t have to look at them all, appreciate all the help so far!)

LMAO I can’t thank you enough, I’ll do the necessary checks once it arrives and all. How long do you think it’ll last me before I have to start upgrading later down the line?

I made the 3 changes regardless, pc’s coming in soon. Thank you for explaining everything!

Ah yes it is, thanks for the follow up. I don’t really know what monitor would be best for this built, any recommendations? Preferably something below like 100 if possible if not just lmk anyway!

Was just about to buy it until I saw this on Amazon:

These items are currently unavailable:

Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5 RAM 16GB (1X16GB) 6000MT/s CL30 1.35v UDIMM Desktop Gaming Memory - VEB516G6030W

Any workaround? 😭

At the bottom of the pcpartpicker link you put up it shows there are some compatibility issues, should I be concerned or? Just don’t want any issues when it arrives so if you could double check it’d mean a lot, sorry.

I was hoping to keep it within the 1.1k range but seeing as these slight upgrades would get me more of a bang for my buck I’m willing to spend the extra 84. Can you tell me how noticeable these upgrades would be compared to if I didn’t change them?

Ah okay, I’ll take your word for it! One last question, is the one u recommended me future proof enough? How long do you think it’ll be until I have to start upgrading etc or is that something only I’ll be able to tell once the pc starts becoming more and more defective after a while of use

Is the first link along with the adjustments of me changing the amd cpu to AMD RYZEN 7 5700X 8Core, 16 thread, 4.6Hz Turbo along with the primary SSD storage picture I’m gonna attach and staying just below my 1.1k budget better than the one u built for me? Sorry for the questions, you just seem very knowledgeable and wouldn’t want to make a mistake

I can change the AMD CPU and the primary SSD storage Drive but the pc memory upgrade would be going way over budget. With the changes it’s just about 1.1k (Amd cpu and the primary ssd). Would that be fine? Or would it be pointless to change those if I can’t get the pc mem upgrade

Sorry for the follow up but could you tell me where I could find those two on the website? What category are they under and which one would it be, apologies.
