Prebuilt Gaming PC

[Bbeck0711]

Looking for a prebuilt Gaming PC under $1000 that can outperform newer consoles. Can build but not tech savvy when comes to what processors, ram, etc to buy

 

[MnMWizard]

I would very much recommend building it, it will save you a significant amount of money. Should the monitor/keyboard/mouse/windows copy be included?

Maybe just the windows included i have a little extra for the monitor mouse keyboard already saved to side beside $1000 for monitor build or buy

That build looks good except I'd add one more 120mm case fan and maybe get a slightly better quality SSD if you have the few extra dollars to spare. Also just so you know I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you get a FreeSync monitor if you do in fact get an AMD GPU, it makes First person games much smoother.

Thanks for the help. How would this compare to modern day consoles?

It will completely smoke them (though it is 2-3x as expensive). With 8gb of VRAM you can play with ultra textures and higher settings, and you can reap the benefits of PC as well (such as ultrawide, FreeSync, cheaper games, basically every controller support, and keyboard/mouse support).

The cpu is roughly about 3 times faster than the cpu in ps4 pro and 4 times faster than the cpu in xbox one s. The gpu is about 50% faster than the ps4 pros and 3 times faster than xbox one ses.

Im looking forward to this build thanks for the help. So what would i do about the rbg lighting i would have to install that seperately right which shouldnt be a problem

 

[Finstar]

If you're talking about the lights on the case they're pre installed and the colors can be changed from the front panel.
The motherboard will have red leds

 

[Bbeck0711]

What rgb lighting are you talking about?

As in the colors..my wife likes how gaming pcs light up led.

 

[Bbeck0711]

What rgb lighting are you talking about?

And should i just pay $30 more for the 1600x for overclocking?

No. They're both the same cpu, the x version just has bit higher stock clock speed but both can be overclocked to about 4GHz with a good cooler.

So does it come with a stock cooler is that why there isnt any additional cooler listed on the list? Im sorry im such a newb. And if i needed a better cooler which would u suggest

The Ryzen 1600 comes with it's own wraith spire cooler. If you want, the cpu can be overclocked to around 3.7GHz with the stock cooler but if you want to overclock it further, you're gonna need an aftermarket cooler like the Cryorig h7

But with stock speeds/small overclock the stock cooler is enough.

The smaller kingston ssd is for windows and programs you want to load quickly while the larger seagate hdd is for storage (files, movies, pictures, games...).
SSD = fast but expensive
HDD = slow but cheap
