Question Prebuilt gaming pc

Hi Jake311202.

The price isn't bad at all. If I take the parts on pcpartpicker it's that below and that's without a case. So they are giving a nice price on that system.

The issue here is the parts they decided to put in that system.

  • 1x16GB of RAM. That's only 1 stick running in Single Channel Memory. That's not good. A system needs 2 sticks to run in Dual Channel. You're losing performance there with that 1 stick.
  • Very bottom of the line Power Supply. CV series is "Meh".
  • Cheapest B450 board you can possible buy.
That system has a good price but that's it.

Don't buy that system. A 3600 Ryzen is 10 more dollars than that 2700X. Try to find a pre-built with a Ryzen 3600 in it instead of that 2700X.

That system has a good price but the parts left a lot to be desired.
Would something like this be better?
