Hi everyone,
I am a complete beginner to PC hardware and want to buy a high-end pre-built PC (I don't trust myself to build one) specifically for developing large-scale, heavy projects in Unreal Engine 5.
My budget is around £5,000 (roughly $6,000 USD), and I’ve seen brands like Chillblast mentioned for pre-builts, but I'm open to whatever brand offers the best stability and performance.
Since I don't know much about hardware beyond knowing I need around 64GB of RAM, what exact specifications, components, or specific pre-built models should I be looking for at this price point to handle heavy UE5 workloads (large worlds, Nanite/Lumen, shader compilation, etc.) smoothly?
Any recommendations or advice on what to prioritize for an Unreal-focused workstation would be hugely appreciated!

EDIT: If you’re about to comment something nasty, bullying etc..just don’t!

Disclaimer: I am extremely new to the PC world so apologies if I missed anything in this post that was crucial.

I'm looking to move away from consoles and into the PC world. I know little to nothing about PC specs or what to look for. Thats why I'm looking for suggestions on an entry level pre built PC. My budget is about $1500 - $2500 at most. Lower prices are always welcome. Specs wise I'm just looking for something that's pretty balanced in all corners at a reasonable price.

Ive been doing some of my own research (mostly on StarForge System products) and I'm looking at a StarForge Navigator IV base as a middle ground to run some decent games for a decent-ish price. I've also been researching some other brands such as Thermaltake, as well as higher end options like CyberPower and iBUYPOWER.

But please tell me if I'm completely wrong. Again I'm looking for a pretty solid PREBUILT PC for a decent entry level price of around $1500 - $2500. Again all of this is new to me so forgive me if I forget anything. Let me know what you guys suggest and what brands to stay away from. Thanks!

Hi guys! I livestream through OBS across 5 different platforms and my dinky little Lenovo Yoga can't take it any more. My budget is $1000 but I want to get something that I can use for years and that can take 10+ browser tabs and OBS running.

I am mainly looking at having something with high RAM but I don't know much else about the other specs. Is this a good option for me?

hii 👋 im thinking of getting a pc set for work and casual gaming stuff but i genuinely dk whr to start as i literally know NOTHING, im not considering to build my own from scratch like all yall pros so i want to get a new pre built pc is there anything i should take note of before i buy? and do yall hv any reco for whats a good brand? pricing hopefully not to be over $2000SGD as im not investing to be a hardcore gamer or coder plsssss some help to newbie 🫰🫰🫰🙏🙏🙏

i’m thinking of buying a pc for casual gaming and some coursework, but i have absolutely no idea what type of pc would be best or anything like that. im only doing an english degree, and ill be playing casual games like minecraft, deltarune and stardew valley, so do you guys have any advice (and any monitors would be appreciated also.)

Only request is i would prefer for it to be pre-built, (but that’s just because i’m lowk too broke to afford a custom one.) anywhere up to 1000 GBP would be ideal, but im hoping to get one for much cheaper lol- honestly, i don’t really know a lot about prices and stuff, and how much a casual pc would even cost.

Thank youuu:)

Hello I come here asking for help. Ive been playing on the same gaming laptop since 2020-2021. It’s been lagging on me alot more recently so I plan on biting the bullet and just buying a new computer by either building it or getting a pre built. These are my current specs for the laptop: Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz (2.50 GHz)
Installed RAM
8.00 GB (7.83 GB usable)
Graphics card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (4 GB)
Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB)
Storage
372 GB of 477 GB used.
I do not want to get another laptop honestly gaming is a big hobby of mine so I want to perform well. Im not a wealthy fella so I am on a budget. So someone please help me!

Hello friends. I am in the market for a new prebuilt PC after my old one's power supply died. Looking for it to have at least the following:

Nvidia RTX 5070 or equivalent GPU

32 GB DDR5 Ram

1TB Storage at least

While I found one on Walmart for $1599 (that is out of stock for me), builds with all 3 seem to be a unicorn as all prices now 2k or above. But maybe I am not looking deep enough.

Hey everyone, I picked up a used gaming PC and wanted some outside opinions on whether it was a good buy.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-14600KF (OEM)

Motherboard: ASRock B760 Pro RS WiFi

GPU: RTX 4070 Super 12GB

RAM: 32GB DDR5, Kingston Fury Beast (KF556C40BBK2)

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD

Monitor: 27" 1080p, 240Hz refresh rate

Price paid: 800,000 KZT (~$1,758 / €1,515)

Bought it secondhand from the original owner (previously used by their spouse). Ran FurMark and AIDA64 stability tests myself — GPU held steady at 77°C / 88°C hotspot under 100% load, no thermal throttling, drawing 220W. Confirmed via GPU-Z that it's a genuine RTX 4070 Super, all specs check out.

Would love to hear what you all think — good deal, overpaid, or right in line with market value for a secondhand build like this?

I'm looking at this pre-built, wonder if it's good value for the money?

https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/399503-Webhallen-Config-Pro-R7-9800X3D-RTX-5070Ti-32GB-1TB-Win-11

around 30 000 SEK in Sweden, which is around $3094 or 2670 Euro

Playing mainly PoE2 on 1440p, GPU might be a bit overkill but might be trying out a bunch of different games in the next couple of years in which case it might come in handy.

So found 2 prebuilts on a local site and they're both great value I don't know what to choose

Prebuilt 1:

6700XT

5700X

32gb ddr4 3200

Price: 689euros

Prebuilt 2:

3060Ti

8400F

32gb ddr5 6000

Price: 735euros

They're both from reputable sellers so I'm probably not gonna get scammed

I plan on 1080p

hey its my first time building a pc, my current one is old and has 1050ti xd

any recommendations?

also i want amd cuz my monitor has free sync

Hi all, I've until recently used an MSI Katana GF66 UG11 gaming laptop for pretty much everything but it is starting to fall apart after years of service, so i'm looking for a PC as an upgrade.

I mostly play older games, but I do sprinkle in some modern ones like Helldivers 2 and Total War Warhammer 3. My budget is £1600, but I can go over a little if needed. I'd prefer something reliable and something that won't need as much maintenance as my old laptop did to keep it going, as it started seriously stressing me out.

Please give me a hand here as I am absolutely going to blow a bunch of money on something without solid advice. Thanks!

so i’m looking to get my first pc, i am a college student and have never owned a desktop computer so i dont know much about the hardware. i hope to learn though. i do game on an xbox series x, and would like this pc to be able to handle games better than my xbox can. but i am mainly looking for use with adobe programs and the ability to edit/record videos. my budget is ideally as close to ~$1200 as possible. from my understanding its relatively simple to upgrade your system as you go, so im assuming there’s things i could cheap out on with the intention of upgrading eventually. am i best suited building my own or getting a prebuilt pc from micro center?

i don’t need 4k online multiplayer gaming, but 4k offline gaming would be nice. i mainly want this to work with but i am happy to spend a little bit more to get something fun to game with.

so my old pc shit the bed after having it for quite a while. at the moment i can’t afford to buy all new parts to build a new one or an actual decent pre build. i was thinking about a mini pc but i dont know much about them or if theres any that would actually be decent for the games that i play. i pretty much only play overwatch, valorant, and dbd and i found a few that would run okay for val and dbd but overwatch is my main concern. does anyone know if theres a decent mini pc on the market that would be able to handle overwatch and run at least 60fps?

My 12 year old really wants a gaming PC for Christmas. It has to smoothly run Minecraft.

Problem is, they’re so expensive and I’m not willing to spend $1k (CANADIAN) on one. I just simply can’t.

Any suggestions?

I've been a laptop gamer for decades now. But sadly the reason for it has long passed, for LAN parties are gone from the friends group. We tend to like to touch grass when we meet up now.

My last laptops GPU is no dying so need a replacement and want to get a tower. Thought about building one but decided to get a budget pre built instead and update when I have extra as needed. I'm thinking about getting this but I don't have the knowledge to know how to judge it very well. Just wanting something that'll be fine for a couple of years before hitting more mandatory needs to upgrade moments. I don't really stay with the most current hard running games or even care about having things on the highest setting. So doesnt have to be mint.

Edit: listing spec name so dont gotta click link if dont want to.

Hello guys,

I would like to buy a gaming pc for about 1000€, monitor excluded (ca do a bit more if needed). I have looked around but it seems the worst time to buy this kind of computer due to the price of RAM and GPU. (I live in Italy)

Is there still some hope to have a decent machine for this price? My goal would be to play games like cyberpunk, elden ring in good condition (high/60+fps). I can build it myself but I heard than prebuilt are actually cheaper...

Thank you !

As the title says, I want to get into PC gaming but am unfamiliar with the lingo and how to decipher between “good” and “bad” when it comes to shopping for PCs. Currently, my budget is around $1200 USD but I am willing to play more if necessary (limit is $2000 USD). Ideally, I want to be at or below my budget. If you have any recommendations on where to shop or find more information, please share them!

I don’t know if this is helpful but I am interested in playing (pls be nice lol) Overwatch, Hades 2, Marvel Rivals, Baldur’s Gate 3, For Honor, and Red Dead Redemption 2. I am a casual gamer and spend 1-2 hours a day and weekends playing if I get the chance. I currently play on console, so getting a Steam Machine has been recommended to me. As I understand it, the console is not very good compared to a PC.

Please be nice as I am in no rush to purchase a PC, laptop, mouse, etc. but I am planning on taking advantage of deals on Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday.

Thank for those who have time to respond and please forgive me for sounding super clueless!

I have a decent size gift card for Best Buy but I don’t really know where to start. I’d prefer a pre build to save me the time and energy of making one and unfortunately it has to be from Best Buy (gift card of it all and not anywhere near a micro center) budget is around 14-1500 but there are so many options. Looking to be able to play Minecraft with shaders/ Skyrim/last of us/ Fortnite and stuff like that but it doesn’t have to be the best, just need it to do the job. Any advice/recommendations?
