My daughter is wanting to get into PC Gaming. Someone offered me this PC for $1000.00 Just wondering if it is a good deal for the price or if it is even worth buying. Or if it's a good buy with some small upgrades. Thank you!

16GB 3600 CL16
Hard Drive Capacity
SSD
CPU- R5 3600X
CPU Cooler- Cooler Master ML120 RGBV2

GPU- Gtx 1070TI MSI Duke
PSU- Corsair CX 750M
Monitor: 75hz Acer Monitor
Keyboard: Mouse: Razer Deathadder Essential

That's pretty good for the price. I'd want to know the SSD capacity though. It has the type, but not the capacity. When you say $1000, you mean US?

And you just register to ask that?

This was quite the common sight on several Facebook groups 2 too. You could almost set your agenda! And bam that one parent, usually a woman who needed to have some advice appears every 2 weeks, usually followed by a couple of similar posts in the following days, thank god we don't have the follow-up crowd here with this sort of posts

It’s a market research bot, assessing which groups of people would be willing to pay certain amounts for certain hardware. Not surprising really seeing how there is such a worldwide chip shortage, plenty of money now to be made on older hardware which has been shipped out around the world for years.

The most important thing is to make sure it has a joystick/pad, It'd be a pretty crippled machine without one. Everything else is secondary...

Obviously a bot, girls only play Candy Crush and Sims.

There are those e-girls who play games on Twitch etc. and get needy men to fork over cash for the privilege of watching them.

What kinds of games would your daughter want to play?

Honestly getting a barebones system, throwing in a video card and hard drive could cost you less than half that and give you decent performance on most games you'd want. But depends on the games in question.

No use in getting a Ferrari to drive around town... When a golf cart will do.

Hell, some chromebooks may be sufficient at $50...

yes

That's a funny capacity for an SSD... What units would that be measured in ?.

Oh!, and what do you not own any games ?.

although this was back in 2014 the psu was not part of the kit either

Mmm i've almost always gotten stuff through NewEgg and had few issues in that department. I recall in 2005 getting a $150 Barebones system, adding $100 for a hard drive and $125 for a video card and $100 for more ram. And then it was a decent enough system for under $500. I think that was for a total of 8Gb Ram, 500Gb-1Tb HDD... Also got a $100 monitor for free with that kit (still got it, decent basic LCD monitor)

Just remember also doing a computer yourself saves you probably half the price, or someone you trust to build it for you. I could build a computer in a couple hours and get it running, then another couple hours to get the OS installed with all the neccesary drivers and basic dependencies for a system.

Putting a system together usually involves putting the plugs in the right places, putting things in the right slots, and occationally adding thermal paste (usually CPU to heatsink, some heatsinks have the paste ready to use already), and taking your time getting it right.

Newegg also has 'computer builder' pages where you select components that are compatible and they ship all together usually. Only issue i had at that one was the motherboard recently only likes certain types of ram...

The bots are invading... Aaaah!!! *cough, cough* Aaaah!!!...
