iCiCeLzz Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Looking for a desktop that has a good graphics card and all the essentials that requires minimal work/add ons. I saw this one but im not sure if I can get something better for around that price. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-by-hp-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-brushed-aluminum/5759916.p?skuId=5759916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 That's not really a stellar price. Newegg has the same PC for $799 and there's no tax! https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100019096%204814%20601304710%20601286692%20600030537%20601195636%20601195638%20601281510%20601295206%20601306274%20601205853&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=36 This isn't an insane deal either, but if I had to buy something right now, I'd go this route. https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/CyberPower-Z270-i5-Configurator +Free 1060 GTX Upgrade +600 watt EVGA power plus PSU +SSD of your choice If you can wait, I'd check slickdeals.net daily for PC deals and get something that's a real deal if it can wait. For example, I saved $100 off of my ram alone. https://slickdeals.net/deals/computers/?src=catnav_computers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyberpower you have to upgrade to the 1060GTX but its free. The CPU cooling is much better and you can overclock the processor to run much faster. I don't see much airflow into the case. The 1060 will likely run very hot in there. Same with the CPU with the stock heatsink. I check slickdeals daily for crap. If I see something I'll post here if you don't update this saying you bought something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_ Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The best gaming processor is currently i5-8600k. Better 1070ti than 1060. There is only one ready set: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-120gb-solid-state-drive-1tb-hard-drive-black/6155201.p?skuId=6155201 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be greatly appreciated I am not experienced in computer building as you so I do appreciate your time and input =) The best gaming processor is currently i5-8600k. Better 1070ti than 1060.

TulsaGeoff Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey man, good deals have been far and few between with GPU prices sky high. I did find two decent deals. https://slickdeals.net/f/11185891-dell-xps-8930-desktop-i7-8700-16gb-ddr4-512gb-pcie-ssd-gtx-1080-8gb-1421-free-shipping#commentsBox 8700 processor with 1080 GTX for $1421 https://slickdeals.net/f/11185755-alienware-aurora-gaming-desktop-i5-8400-16gb-ddr4-1tb-hdd-gtx-1070-wifi-bt-1174-f-s?page=2#commentsBox 8400 processor with 1070 GTX for $1174 The computer you posted at Best Buy is now about $80 off. 1070 GTX will be much more powerful, but the one you posted will be over 100% better than what you have. Any of them will be a significant upgrade using a discrete video card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
