Should I buy this prebuilt $2000 pc for video editing and graphics?

[steve.t.rausch]

So I'm technically asking for a friend. This looks like a solid rig, but I've heard of prebuilts using bad components and it looks like some people in the reviews thought they were getting something else. Is this a decent buy for editing, graphics, and animation?

Nope - But if you don't know someone that builds them then I would suggest an HP or Dell. That one seems to not know that those graphics cards have come way down in price now that bitcoin mining has gone to asics.

Case - $100
CPU - $350
GPU - $500
Ram - $300
SSD - $100
HDD - $50
W10 - $100
PSU - $75 (though they would provide a much cheaper one)
Mouse & Keybd - $50



{edit - forgot the CPU. LoL}

For work stuff you can get a Ryzen 2600x that offers far better value for productivity work. Everything else seems super overpriced, there are companies like NZXT and Xidax that offer better cost to build.
