[SOLVED] Planning on buying a PC but I don't know if I picked the right parts

[questionsquestions]

I'm not much of a tech person so I decided to customize one of Cyberpower's prebuilt PCs, the problem is that I don't know if what I chose is good or even compatible. I did a bit of research, but there are some things that go completely over my head. Any help would be very appreciated!

Hey there,

Whilst I don't necessarily advise people to purchase pre-builds, this is more custom.

With that said, it's a quality build, with very good parts. You can expect top gaming/productivity performance, whilst not going into the HEDT realms. The GPU is mid range, but very capable at 1080p and 1440p.

The CyberPower Cooler, is actually Coolermaster, so that's nothing to be concerned about.

I guess some will argue about the pricing. You could build for less no doubt, but getting it built and configured to work right out of the box is a plus. To you it might be worth the premium.

Cyberpower are junk. Terrible quality control. There have been people, who have gotten builds, from them, that didn't have the standoffs for the motherboard installed.

I wasn't aware of that. Good to know for reference. Given all the parts apart from the case are high quality, is it more the build itself than the components?

Obviously post isn't part of their practice then? Just slap it together, ship it off and hope for the best. That's bad, no standoffs, hopefully the whack jobs involved had a short future there.

You have a Z590 board and a locked cpu along with a liquid cooler. Also a 550w psu will power that 3060. The SSD is a bit small also. You could order the parts yourself and build it or pay a local PC shop to put it together after the parts arrive.

Yep! That's what I'm planning to do now cause I found someone who doesn't have too high fees and has really good reviews so I'll probably buy the parts.
