Question Help me build a gaming system

[B8C]

Have decided to move to PC from Xbox and also want to stream at the same time from the same PC.
Have been looking at this one

However i know absolutely nothing about PC so not sure if it's worth the money or not looking at spending roughly 2.8k on my set up. Also if anyone has any better custom builds that would give me a lot more bang for my buck that would be great
Cheers

I should add the 2.8k I'm willing to spend is only for the PC not including the keyboard mouse etc

I would say that is horribly overpriced.

That system is not bad at all but is around $400 Australian over build yourself PC with roughly the same spec. But if you do not want the hassle and need the piece of mind with a warranty then it is not too bad...

Also this pre built works out much cheaper at $2406.00 for the same spec in a 3700X plus RTX 2070 Super..

I highly recommend holding off the purchase for few more months. New GPUs from NVIDIA as well as AMD are going to launch in just 2-3months. From all the info we have out they are said to have good 50-60% performance increase which is huge. And most importantly they are said to have at-least twice the Ray-tracing performance of RTX2000 series Turing cards. This means that even with Ray-tracing turned on and high settings the FPS hit will be extremely minimal in comparison to what we get from previous generation.

All this is worth waiting, specially if you plan to spend that high.
