Question How good is this prebuilt ?

[liazecsmc]

NVIDIA RTX 5070 12G

Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5 2x16GB 6000C36 - Blanc

ASUS PRIME B860M-A WIFI

1500$

The price looks okay but I am not well informed with this CPU/GPU and a friend asked me how good are they for games like Baldur's gate 3 / AC and story games in general.

Hey there,

For $1500 it's a bit pricey for me., but considering you don't have to build it, then maybe it's tolerable. The GPU is quite good and should be good for 1440p gaming with mostly high settings. The vram is the downside though. 12gb is just a bout enough for 1440p. Games are becoming more challenging for modern GPU's in the midrange, specially with game engines like UE5.

CPU is good. Good enough for the GPU at 1440p. Being the latest Intel chip, they actually underperform in comparison to the 14th Gen models. It's still no slouch though.

What PSU comes with it. Prebuilt often cut corners, and the PSU is often where that happens.

Yeah i figured this could be a problem too. i have a 13th gen intel and 3070ti and have more wattage than this. But u can upgrade it in the website so i ll suggest that. Thank you

I would say it is not a good deal. No upgrade path, not a good PSU, and that motherboard is definitely lower budget tier. I cannot remember the last time I saw a Asus Prime board that was actually good compared to competing boards with the same chipset. Being an B860 doesn't help the matter either. CPU also lacks IGP, so if the GPU dies, the system is a paperweight, unless you have a spare card lying around.
