Gaming PC. Is it worth?

[marcin.kokoszynski]

Hi lads,
I'm thinking about buying this setup. Cost is 1800 USD. Is it worth the price?


Intel Core i5 9600K Six Core Processor
16GB DDR4 2666Mhz RAM
240GB SSD & 1TB Storage
GeForce RTX 2070 Graphics
Windows 10 Home
Powered By Asus
Cooler Master Masterliquid 240mm Liquid Cooler

Looks over priced but I am UK based. I’m also a little sceptical of the 8600k/9600k. There are already games that can max out or nearly max out all 6 cores when paired with a strong gpu and running 1080p/1440p. I’d seriously consider Ryzen 2600 or paying the extra for an 8700k/9700k as the current i5’s don’t have the headroom for the future that I personally would like with a new cpu.

Here are ballpark costs for building yourself so you can determine how much you're being charged for assembly:
i5-9600K = $260
240 mm AIO = $60
16GB RAM = $100
Mobo = $120
240GB SSD = $50
1TB HDD = $40
RTX2070 = $500
Case = $60
PSU = $60
Windows10 = $10
Total = $1300
