New gamer PC ?

[fretless]

Wifey wants a new machine to run some new and upcoming games . I'd like to just buy one done up already . $2k budget tell me GGF what to get . Thanks !

[Marc G]

2K would MORE than get it done, including a new 4k monitor.... safe bet is to probably go with something from Alienware if you're looking for a turnkey option

[fretless]

I'll take a look Thanks man !

I'll be in the market in a couple months for something similar. I don't game, but I may visual graphic design and animate a bit so I'll probably go with a gaming PC because all other specs aside from graphics card being equal, they tend to be the most powerful turnkey options.

Pcpartpicker might have some recommend prebuilds, so I'd look there.

this is where we are atm

Looks like a good choice to me. 10700 CPU and 3070 GPU. I would say that computer is underpriced by about $200.

Wouldn't you want more RAM if you are spending that kind of money for a gamer PC?

Here's one with a 10900:

What would you go with Ry ? This is mainly for the upcoming ME Legendary and other future games . I don't know anything about this gamer stuff lol

[Ry Manchu]

I'd go with a Ryzen 5600 paired with a 6800 graphics card. It will slay the I7/3070 combo.

Second one needs a little more RAM. 8gb is the minimum these days, 32gb is overkill and 16gb is the sweet spot. This is pretty good RAM here:

C15 and C16 means it's low latency RAM, which the Ryzen and RX6800 can take advantage of.

Here's GPU benchmarks:

Thanks man ! Much appreciated !

[Ry Manchu]

The Dominator looks to be a little faster with AMD chips, until you get up to the C14 Vengeance:

It's model: CMT16GX4M2Z3200C16 at $140 for this plus $1780 for the computer, you're still at $1920 and have a kicking gaming machine. Fingers crossed the tax man don't get ya.

Trigger pulled Thanks again Fellas!

Doesn't ship until 3/17???

correct +/- and if you enter "NORUSH" coupon they knock off 5% so almost 100 bucks . I'm in no hurry so it's all good . I assume they need time to build it .
