Hey guys. Is this a good budget gaming PC at its cost? this will be used mostly for gaming and work: $1100

Asus Prime B550M-A AC (WiFi/Bluetooth)
Ryzen 5 5600X (6 Cores / 12 Threads)
ID Cooling 214-SE ARGB Air Cooler
16GB Silicon Power 3200Mhz (2x8GB)
1TB Teamgroup M.2 NVME
MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio
750W Gamdias Kratos P1 80+ Bronze
ABNO1 Custom Sleeve Kit
(3) Thermalright 120MM ARGB Kit

thanks!
 
I took a couple of best guesses when some of the items wouldn't resolve in a search on Newegg and before even adding the fans and a case (that isn't listed) the cart is at ~1030 with a couple of discounts.

The Asus Prime motherboard listed is not reviewed well and is available both as a refurb and an open box. That generally doesn't bode well.

Is this system new and has warranty? I am not sure you could build it for that with those specific parts. If you were willing to sub a thing or two you might could get close for a few hundred less, but IMO if you aren't familiar with building and having a warranty would be worth a couple hundred for its considerations.

Is that a used PC?

You right. II look into that. but since i have your attention. Would you consider any of these? and which one? Youve been a great deal of help. THank you



 
I like and use Micro Center myself.

Keep in mind that MC will build your own custom rig, for a price. It may be worthwhile to look into that aspect while comparing to those prebuilds. They often keep models available built of more popular components. Aside from their own expertise, they are local so if you have any issues you can drop the rig by easily with someone that likely knows what they are doing. That is more than I would say about a certain big box store that says they are the best buy.... 😉
