What PreBuilt PC Should i buy?

[gotogaming]

Hello,

My mother and stepfather told me, my brother and my stepbrother that we could order a PC from the Internet as our christmas present. I told them i wanted to order individual parts and build my own PC but they wouldnt let me because they wanted us 3 to all have the same PC. I am forced to buya prebuilt PC. I saw a Cyberpower PC, it was 720 USD . It had an i5 7400, RX 580, Keyboard and mouse. It was really cheap for a prebuilt system and we were thinking about getting it. But i am seeing many videos and posts about broken parts, bad PSU'S in a CyberPower PC. My Question is: Do you guys have any good PreBuilt PC'S for under 750 Euros? Greetings, Sam

Can you post a link to the cyberpower PC?
Usually, pre builts come with cheap power supplies that are not strong enough to permit a graphics card upgrade.
cyberpower has an advantage in that they can buy parts and windows cheaply.
But, of course, they must make a profit on the assembly.

Are you talking about three identical PC's, one for each of you?
Or, are you talking about a single pc to be shared among all three.

If the former, why not offer to build all three identical pc's and show the brothers how to do it.
A big plus would be the availability of identical parts to swap components in case you need to diagnose a problem.
You could do that locally instead of shipping off the pc to cyberpower.

Make a list of the parts included and price them out.
You can then decide if the pre built is a good thing.

Another pre built vendor I like is Lenovo.
Look at the Y700 series:

They are all going to use cheap parts at that price. What if you build all three of them? Then you will meet the criteria that all of you have the same computer. Which doesn't make sense to me. As each of you have your own interests in a computer and could each have them custom tailored to your individual tastes.

It costs them the same amount of money either way. If they wish to spend their money in an inefficient manner. That's up to them. Beggars can't be choosers. Although, if their attitude is prebuilt or nothing. I can't see why they would say some no name brand is okay rather than insisting on say Dell.

If you bring up the building it yourself for all. Also include that you can pick and choose all high quality components with a good reputation. They are easier to repair. Individual components also usually have much longer lasting warranties than a prebuilt.

Now CyberpowerPC only uses cheap parts in their prebuilt systems as does every other cheap brand. That is how they keep prices down. If you go on their website. You can do a complete custom build. Prices are higher. But the quality of the PC comes down to the individual parts you choose. It is only as bad or good as you choose.

Otherwise I would stick with a big brand like ASUS, Lenovo or Dell(Alienware). Some of the ASUS and Lenovo have good prices on gaming systems.
