[SOLVED] Getting made up gamer rigs

[Metalrocks]

Looks like I have to upgrade to a new rig as my old one is showing its age.
The price I need to pay for a new, GPU, CPU, motherboard, RAM plus win 10, will cost me more than some of the made up ones I find on PC Case Gear. As I live in Australia.
I'm open to any individual parts that would be cheaper than a made up one listed below but I have never installed an OS without a CD and my experience getting win 10 to run ended in failure.

So here are some I'm alright to pay for but is the listed hardware good enough to last for a long time?

In all of those listing, the PSU isn't mentioned. With all due respect, whether or not you have a licence key, installing Windows 10 isn't an issue. You just need to fabricate a bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools, set the primary boot device in BIOS to the USB installer and let the installer do it's job.

For some odd reason the links show up with an error. I'll check back on them later.

Actually, the PSU is listed. Just not in the description I see now. But if the links would be working for you, you will see each component listed. I guess you must be in my country for the links to work.

Regarding windows. How can I use a tool if a computer has no win installed? If i should assemble one myself that is.
Switching in BIOS sound simple enough but I still need to purchase a key that will cost me over 225AUD.

Anyway, if it still helps, here are the listed PSU.
1. The Phanteks PH-P550GF 550W Gold

2. be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W Power Supply

3. The Phanteks PH-P550GF 550W

4. The Phanteks PH-P550GF 550W Gold

You can run Windows 10 without activation/need to purchase a license. The only limitations are screen/taskbar customization and the activate Windows 10 watermark. There are no other restrictions.

Use a currently functioning system to download the media creation tool. Then use the tool to create the USB install.

Edit: I only worked the first one, but unless I'm missing something, it came out cheaper building it myself: $1159 vs $1349

I see. So I can use 10 without any worries without key activation?
I actually have that tool. Which means, I can put it on a USB stick and from there I can install win 10.

Indeed cheaper if I get from various sites. Half of them I have never heard of. Most of the items I can order from Amazon, while the motherboard, GPU and PSU I can get from PCCG. The hard drive is currently not available on Amazon.
Case would be than not required as I have already one.
But yes, the shipping would be another one. That is why I try to stick to one site particularly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes it will be fine.

On a side note after you have your new windows 10 installed but before you turn on the internet do all your changes.

Like keep or get rid of the annoying pre set pop up boxes when you go to start.

Set your desktop theme and picture all before you connect to the internet.

Because that's the only thing you will not later be able to change/ after internet connection being unregistered.

But besides that it will work just as normal " windows 10 "

Thanks for telling me that.
I hope that I won't be having any issues like the last time where every time I tried to connect to the net, I get instantly a blue-screen of death. Through a WIFI stick as I don't have the option to connect my PC with a cable.

Anymore comments regarding the made up once I have shared or go with what Wolfshadw suggested?

 

[Wolfshadw]

What I posted was just an example of how building it yourself is more often cheaper than having others put it together for you. While it's not a terrible build, if you have a budget, you could probably do better.

I know. I was just curious if any of the made up computers are good enough. As I'm busy lately, I I was looking at a more simpler way on getting a computer that is good to go.
