[SOLVED] Buying a Prebuilt pc

[jrmeers4]

I need suggestions on PCs that run overwatch well, I am on PS4 and I am trying to play competitively on pc but I have a budget of 600. I would like it to look good too.

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. with this system? Are you willing to build yourself? Is your budget $600 USD?

Question from jrmeers4 : "Buying a pc"

I am looking to buy a Cyberpiwer pc it is 600 dollars. I want to know if cyberpower is reliable and if it can support overwatch. Also I want to know how to install windows 10

Which model are you looking at, specifically?

CyberPower (and similar) typically cheap out on components such as the PSU. It's "fit for purpose" initially, but longevity & upgradeability would not be their strong suits.

Without knowing the specifics of the system you're looking at, it's impossible to say for sure whether it would run overwatch well. Something truly "worth" $600 should be more than capable, but a "$600" CyberPowerPC isn't necessarily 'worth' $600.

Terrible computer for the money.
Using a mediocre cpu from 5 years ago.
Weak gpu.

You can get much much better building your own and even prebuilt.

That CBP setup is horrible for the money.
FX6300, RX560, 8GB DDR3 and a 1TB HDD.
That's maybe "worth" half of their asking price IMO.

For strictly (or primarily) Overwatch.... assuming you'd be prepared to build your own, you have options...

Includes an OS, which you may/may not need..... and a secondary HDD, which you could probably source a bit cheaper.


If you just wanted something off the shelf (as building isn't for everyone), you have options.

And, while not a fan of CBP at all, this one isn't too too horrible for the money.

I want a prebuilt pc I don’t have the time or experience to build one

 

[jrmeers4]

Is amd or intel better

 

[volkgren]

Is amd or intel better

Intel is typically faster but costs a little more. The i3-8100 is fast and would do well in a $600 system.
