Hey there, Kramjam. I am in the midst of the same process looking in a similar price range. I am sick of always being disappointed in my gaming experience. I have used budget(ish) laptops and am now switching over to pre-built desktops for some true gaming with room to easily grow as gaming evolves. I thought it'd be helpful to write out my top choices.

I have found some good deals and have listed them. I am debating waiting until after Thanksgiving to see if there are any better offers. I have to decide soon, I guess!

This HP Omen 7700 GTX NVIDIA 1070. $1055.55 on Amazon now. It's the lower end of my spectrum but I think a great value. I am looking at 1080 and 8700 ideally but this is a mighty fine desktop and a huge jump for me. The brand name is helpful here too. Don't know about wifi connect.

I am leaning towards the iBUYPOWER 8700k GTX 1070 Ti. $1,399 Amazon. Great reviews, good value, and nice add-ons. I don't need a lighting remote but that's neat to have. Liquid cooling is also pretty cool (ha!). Good specs, good price, nice accessories, can't complain.

ABS 8700 GTX 1080. $1349.99 Newegg. This almost made it an easy search for me. GTX 1080 plus a great price. My biggest concern is reliability. A few bad reviews on Newegg scared me off and I think this is even their in-house brand. The customer service seems good enough from some research but I would rather not have any problems at all. If you want to roll the dice, I think this is the best value you can find. They also do a 1060 and 1070 for lower prices as you should see in the link. This is it's bigger, badder brother running 1080Ti and 8700k at $1,749.99.

​

cyberpowerpc AMD Ryzen 2700 but NVIDIA RTX 2070. $1,449 Amazon. I having been leaning Intel so not a fan of AMD. This system is 3.2 GHz 8 core whereas the Intel 7700, like in the HP Omen, is 3.6 GHz 6 core. But an RTX 2070 in a prebuild desktop for only $1,449 is ridiculous from my research. It's overkill for what I am using now and I would like a better processor but I thought I would put it here for you.

cyberpowerpc Intel 8700k NVIDIA GTC 1070 Ti. $1,549 Amazon. Same stats as the iBuypower but for $150 more. I guess I like the design more than the i.b.p. but I'd rather save the $150. Maybe post-Thanksgiving will shake this price down??

SKyTech 8700k GTX 1080. $1,549.99. 1070 Ti is $1,499.99. Amazon. Looks great in terms of specs, reviews, even looks and add-ons. I would choose this over the cyberpowerpc above. Has some more customizable options too. But based on our budget, I think you would be better suited for the HP Omen or the iBuypower.

Tl;DR

The HP Omen and iBUYPOWER options listed are my two top choices but all of these made it to my final list. I think another $350 for a better processor, slightly better graphics, and better add-ons makes the iBUYPOWER worth it. Even if the name is terrible...

I hope this helps! Please share any of your insights as well.


Edit: I included the differences in specs most important to me. All have at least 240 GB SSD and some have 2 instead of 1 TB of HDD. All of 16 GB of memory and Windows 10.

u/FlamingLizardGaming · 3 pointsr/suggestapc

I’m not Canadian, but I’ll try to help.

This PC is a great build with an awesome CPU and a decent GPU but lacks both an SSD and 16 gigs of RAM, both necessary for future-proofing. (The SSD is necessary now, but you can hold off with 8 gigs of ram) Sadly, I can’t find builds that are less than 1k CAD with anything similar or better than this with more RAM or an SSD.

I recommend getting a separate SSD like this. (You can always do the cheaper 250 gb variant for less money). I recommend this SSD because it is one of the fastest and comes with amazing Windows 10 cloning software. this guide is how I installed mine (just ignore the laptop specific parts like removing the battery. You can then order a SATA wire like this one to install your SSD. (If you don’t know where in the case you should put your SSD, just use 3M or double sided tape and tape it someone aesthetically pleasing on the bottom of the case.

The sata cables should be obvious where to install (on the right side of the motherboard, usually stacked on top of each other, slightly above or below the GPU), otherwise, you can look up your motherboard to find the SATA slots. Then just install the cloning software and follow the guide. When you need more RAM, look at the PCs ram slot and order another 8 gig stick (if there is only 1 stick of 8 gigs), otherwise, just order 16 gigs of any DDR4 ram you want. I’m sorry you need to do work to get a fully future proof machine, but remember this isn’t 100% needed, just highly recommended. (Plus you can save 100 bucks from your paycheck a few weeks from now for the SSD, you don’t need it the second u get ur pc. Good luck, let me know if you need any help!

P.S You don’t even need a big SSD, just something to hold Windows 10 and programs like Steam and Chrome. Big stuff like games can go on the HDD

u/The---Technician · 1 pointr/suggestapc

The GLC4600A would actually be a great pick! It is my top pick in that budget region for what you plan on using this PC for..The Graphic design and video editing as well as streaming though, if done heavily, will probably demand more than 16 GB RAM..Maybe in the future you will need a larger storage as especially video files,game files and other project raw files can take up a lot of storage space.. This PC will be easily hooked up to your TV as well as the monitor you mentioned- even both at the same time. Still spending within your budget, you could get this SLC8600A Desktop with the 32 GB RAM which would be perfect for you, larger SSD and HDD and overall, much larger storage.

Anyway you take it, you are looking at two PCs with the best graphics card available on the market, one of the best processors, great cooling system, 32 GB RAM which is fantastic and all-round great specs.

u/2fast4u123 · 1 pointr/suggestapc

Alright, I don't know crap about everything here except Plex, which isn't incredibly demanding. The economically logical thing to do would be to purchase a semi-capable PC dedicated to just your home server and media services, and then purchase another tower if you want to play games. It's definitely possible to get one machine to do both, but it'll most likely cost more than the two machines combined.

Anything from the last 5-6 years should do fine. However, you probably won't save that much money purchasing old hardware (like $150 at MOST). Something like this will do fine for your home server. You can then get something like this if you want to do some semi-light gaming. All for around $1k. Keep in mind these are references.

If I could know your budget (at the very least a range) and the types of games you'd want to play I could give some more specifics. Literally, anything will do for your home server, you shouldn't be paying more than $500 for that. I would recommend trying to get the i5 8th gen for your home server if possible. Wait till Black Friday as I'm sure you'll be able to find suitable PCs for cheap. Good luck!

u/bballkim · 1 pointr/suggestapc

To be honest, if you are gaming and want a great experience, you could build a really amazing PC for $800.

If you are looking in the $600-$700 range though, I know the Dell Inspiron AMD Ryzen 7 is a great prebuilt computer; you get a graphics card capable of handling 1080P gaming right off the bat with 16GB of DRAM which is great as well. I don't like that it has an HDD however; but it is 1TB and is very easy to swap out for an SSD.

Also, if you were looking to spend slightly more, I believe the CyberPower PC Gamer Xtreme VR is an excellent choice as well; but again, HDD kinda sucks. Let me know if you have any questions about anything, just PM me and I'd be glad to help you!

u/mattymims · 1 pointr/suggestapc

I found these 2, but for the life of me I couldn't find one with 16GB or RAM.

$710 - CYBERPOWERPC - i5-9400F, B360, GTX 1660, 8GB (1x8GB, 2400), 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi

$660 - SkyTech - Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1660, 8GB (1x8GB, 3000), 500G SSD, WiFi

I'm leaning towards the Ryzen pc. I like the faster memory, and while it has less storage, I personally would prefer the larger 500GB SSD over an 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD combo.

One thing to also keep in mind is that it is a single stick of memory. Having 8GB of RAM in dual channel (2 sticks that are 4GB each) is better than single channel (1 stick that is 8GB), but having a single 8GB stick means that in the future, if you do decide to upgrade to 16GB, you will be able to run the most ideal RAM setup for gaming (2 sticks that are 8GB each)

​

For reference:

1 stick of RAM that is 8GB 3000 would cost around $30-40. It's a large margin cause ideally you want to buy the same model that is in your current rig so they match. While it isn't required, running RAM at the same speed and latency (and same DRAM cache modules) is ideal.

1-2TB HDDs are around $30-50

​

Both of these are also very easy to install.

u/ToTimesTwoisToo · 3 pointsr/suggestapc

it's an OK deal, nothing crazy. The gtx 1050ti is a pretty entry level GPU, great for esport games but not really for modern AAA titles. I'd rather have 8gb of RAM if it means getting an rx 570 or rx 580.

this pc costs only 25% more, but will perform about 80% better (actually a steal at this price)
https://www.amazon.com/iBUYPOWER-Desktop-Graphics-View21-035A/dp/B07D5S3LZM/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1537995252&sr=1-9&keywords=cyberpowerpc

so it's a better performance/price ratio

Or, in the ~650 range, I think I'd rather have this for gaming

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Desktop-Graphics-Operating/dp/B0771NRPN4/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1537995459&sr=1-4&keywords=dell+inspiron+rx+570

much better GPU, but less RAM (8gb fine for now), and no SSD. However, SSD's are very cheap these days, 120gb is enough for the OS.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-570/3649vs3924


in the end, if it's primarily a gaming machine (no video editing, photoshop, etc. needed), you should almost always go for the best GPU possible in your price bracket. That will give you the best performance in game.

u/BearsEatGrub · 2 pointsr/suggestapc

Sorry, I couldn't find any computers with GPU's that aren't just straight up crappy GPU's. My proposition is this:

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Ideacentre-300-Computer-90DA00LPUS/dp/B01KLSMWVA/
Integrated 530 graphics are fine if the game isn't too graphic intensive. It has a DVD drive and a wireless card. Games like League of Legends run like a charm.

As for the monitor, I highly recommend this:
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-R240HY-bidx-23-8-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B0148NNKTC/

I'll keep an eye out for better deals; meanwhile, I wish your family member a healthy and speedy recovery. Best of luck.

u/Duskthelost · 1 pointr/suggestapc

It's a fantastic deal in terms of parts value (the cpu alone is ~$350 CAD new). Especially considering it probably comes with a warranty and tech support. However as the other poster said it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card so you're not going to get much gaming out of it. Frankly that CPU is way more than anyone really needs even for gaming and that's where most of the cost is coming from. I think HP really dropped the ball on this one. I can't really see who their target customer is. Someone who needs a super fast CPU but is okay with being gimped by a slow hard drive? They would've been better off ditching that overpowered CPU for dedicated graphics or an SSD and I think you'd be better off doing the same.

This dell here is 100 cad more and has nearly identical specs with the exception of trading an overpowered CPU for a decent graphics card:

u/ZoroUzumaki · 2 pointsr/suggestapc

If you're willing to spend $50 more, this is a good option.

This will give you similar performance, but has 8gb ram (will still be enough for gaming) and lacks an SSD (which is very nice to have)

This is also a solid machine for 1080p gaming.

​

the 1st and 3rd prebuilt are the best value.

u/lakevin626 · 1 pointr/suggestapc

Here's 2 you can choose:

Skytech

Cyberpower

Skytech is Ryzen + 1050 Ti and Cyber is Intel + RX 580 4G. In terms of performance wise, Cyber will be better because 580 4G > 1050 Ti, but of course, slightly more expensive.

Overall internal parts use, Skytech > cyber because Skytech uses better power supply, memory, and etc.

Both can play almost any games in the market at 1080p high to ultra setting. Both system will be able to handle Minecraft for sure.

You can also wait till BF/CM which is next month, I'm sure you can pick one of these PC up for $50-$100 less.

u/KurosawaKid · 3 pointsr/suggestapc

Gotta love how literally everyone on here will just tell you to build it and not answer your question.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q3G3B67/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_Hg9iDbDP0N60M

This is gonna be the best you'll get for the price pre-built. All it really needs is an SSD and maybe swap out the 4gb vram model for an 8gb. Anything better and you'll have to pay more.

I got this exact model and it works fantastic, you can upgrade it substantially too (PSU, GPU, SSD)

u/ScubaSteve7886 · 0 pointsr/suggestapc

Building a gaming PC you will always get better performance per dollar than a pre built, and is much easier than most people think. However here are a few options if you still want a prebuilt...

This has a better graphics card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BV33X5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ygDvCbQ9KGGZW

Better price with similar performance https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B6H4GNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jiDvCbR2JY8RF

Another option https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HWQFHS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zjDvCbY7GSNCF

A lot of prebuilts come with 8gb of RAM moving up to 16 is a very easy DIY upgrade.

u/TheMountainsLoom · 1 pointr/suggestapc

Yup! Ended up going with this build:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5RPC32/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and this monitor:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-gaming-monitor-s2719dgf/apd/210-arcj/monitors-monitor-accessories

This actually was $300.00 flat on the Dell website a few days ago but I just checked and it's $300.00 at Best Buy still. I was able to price match at Frys. Pretty damn good deal.

u/ieRLMnwhhUfgsHzDoMye · 2 pointsr/suggestapc

SkyTech Blaze II seems to be the best one for eSport games on Amazon, it can also run modern AAA titles but it's really future-proof when it comes to eSports. It has a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 1660 which are plenty for League of Legends, Overwatch and CS:GO etc. I'm going to buy it myself.

The GTX 1660 build is really good for the price especially that it's currently on discount for $679. Anything more powerful would be similar to this GTX 1070 build which is slightly above your budget.

u/gummibear049 · 1 pointr/suggestapc

eh, its not bad, especially if all you want to play is Skyrim. But for the money I would've expected a better graphics card.


If you have an extra $50 I'd check out this [CyberPowerPC - Gamer Ultra Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 580 - 1TB Hard Drive - Black] (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-1400-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-580-1tb-hard-drive-black/5833100.p?id=&skuId=5833100)

Sorry for formatting ahead of time, I'm on mobile.

This one I found on Amazon isn't bad. It's got an ssd and generally all-around good hardware. Only drawback imo is the 4gb rx 580, but that shouldn't be that big of a problem, especially for the games that you are playing.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D5S3LZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VdR-Bb3VHE9S6

Also, do you play on using ethernet or wifi? The build that I have linked does not include a wifi adapter, although they are fairly cheap and easy to install. You could even go with a USB adapter if you really wanted to, but I would recommend an internal adapter.

u/Chanrum · 1 pointr/suggestapc

I like this one as it's cheaper. Cheaper the better. I looked at this one and noticed a similar PC. I see that this is a little behind in specs but for the price difference, would you say it could be worth it? Does the Acer have anyhing exceptionally better?

u/whynotlikemike · 1 pointr/suggestapc

I bought this for a little more money, and added an SSD and more RAM. But mine came with Ryzen 1700x.

but NZXT will have a better graphics card and it's going to be quality. All down to user desire.

What do you think of this Cyberpower PC? As far as I can see, it appears to be the same graphics card, same amount of RAM and Hard Drive, the big difference being Intel over AMD processor. The big difference is, including the warranty, getting that one from Amazon saves me nearly $200 for what looks like basically the same level of machine.

No SSD.

Buying a new one that fits my needs + amazon shipping pushes the price up to about 800 not including the fact that I don't like personally installing hardware.

That and - there's a PC with almost the exact same standards in the HP pav. also on amazon, for about 100 bucks cheaper without the wifi (which I don't need) and the Vr (which I don't want).

Will keep it in mind though.
