Hi all, I'd like an input for this system I found online. I'm looking to buy a simple PC for my cousin who just recently dived in into gaming. Currently he's playing on a 940MX laptop, and I honestly want to give him a better experience.
Some scouring net me this machine. Specs include :
Description says its a HP prebuilt. Now, I've tried to piece together a similarly-specced PC and I end up over the 220AUD I'd pay for this machine (B85 motherboard alone costs half of that machine). Now, is it a good deal? I'm thinking of throwing in a budget GTX 1050, which would make a very reasonable budget gaming PC (at least better than his 940MX thing). I do have a GTX 1060 lying around but I'm not so sure with that PSU. So, HP prebuilt, 220 AUD, good deal or nah? Is there any obvious downsides to this? Also, what's a 4590S anyway?
EDIT : I tried to insert an image but... I can't really do it, sorry. The pictured PC looks mid-tower, not one of those slim PCs.
