Hey eGO! So my birthday is coming up on May 15th, and I currently have a GTX 750 and I would love to get a new PC. I?m not sure exactly which one I?m looking for, but i?m trying to stay below $1,000. One of my buddies sent me this, if one of you could let me know if it?s worth it or not, that would be great because i?m not too good with PCs, mainly just equipment.

CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8060A5 Gaming PC (Intel i5-8400 2.8GHz, 8GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi & Win 10) Black

It?s for $850
 
This build is at $970.03 just under the asking price and you'll be rocking a better and slightly newer CPU and graphics card whilst having an extra 130GB of storage on your presumed C drive with an M.2 and still keeping the extra 1TB of HDD storage. You'll also have a decent amount of upgradability with the B450-F Motherboard if you'd like to upgrade your hardware in the future.

Also come on, the CPU cooler and RAM modules are RGB... WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE!

It doesn't however come with a licensed copy of Win10 but I'd be happy to help you with that if you'd like :)

Apt's build has my seal of approval and fits well for your budget. I highly recommend doing that route and building - much more power for your money, you'll learn lots, AND easily upgradable down the line. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any more questions for the build!
 
yeah Apt Apt got it on lockdown, he knows his stuff.
aside from my personal vendetta against amd, I would buy it.

Same haha, I have never really had much interest in AMD products and they haven't quite fit my uses. But, I did a recent build for a friend with a Ryzen 5 and was actually thoroughly pleased and impressed by the performance. For gamers, it's a great way to go currently!
 
Mine is the 22nd! Thanks for making this post because I'm also looking to a new computer.

Honestly I've always loved AMD builds as they've had consumer grade 6 and 8 core processors for a while whereas Intel's line has until very recently stuck to their 4 cores, I myself on the day to day can work up a pretty heavy workload whilst undergoing certain tasks so it's perfect for me to have more cores to assign to certain processes so It can be better managed.

In my opinion when it comes to gaming Intel has the edge on AMD with the majority of their line so if any you want to go down the Intel line I highly recommend the same build as I previously posted but switching out the motherboard and CPU for a Z390-A with the i5-9600K but that'll take the build up to $1106.02... Which isn't too bad I suppose.
