      A blower style card is probably better here, even if they run hotter, because they exhaust hot air instead of circulating it round the case, stopping the cpu getting even hotter

    I found buying a prebuilt PC a valuable experience. I knew nothing at the time of how to put the parts together. Once the PC starting failing in certain areas I was desperate and opened it up to see what was going on and using Reddit as a troubleshoot. It allowed me to familiarize myself with a typical build and understand why my pc was being bottle necked. So yes pre builds are expensive BUT they can provide a difficult wake up call to learning your components fast.

Watch this video and note, it does not allow you to run it at max settings, middling settings, at best, unless you play older games that do not tax it much, but for that kind of computer, 500-600, tops. There was a time when a halfway decent budget build PC from the likes of Gateway, eMachines could be had for around that. Mind you, they won't be the most powerful and were halfway decent, as long as you expect much from them. The one I helped my mother buy in 2005 No it didn't have a decicated graphics slot (AGP), and the integrated graphics was stuck at 16MB and it had 512MB of RAM, running a Celeron D processor. board was from Intel and research revealed it to be rather robust for what it was, so not a gaming PC per se, it was more than adequate for basic computing. If you got the 600 dollar version, it was AMD and had the AGP slot populated with the slot itself. The placement was there, but not the slot itself on the 2 lesser models. Mom's was the mid tier model.

Great Wall 80+ Gold 700w PSU 2. Still a rather low-end ASUS B550 ATX motherboard but it now at least has a heat sink on the VRM. 3.

    I mean:
    -Works perfectly out of the box (this is a major problem for many prebuilts)
    -Minimal bloatware
    -Hardware clocked correctly in the BIOS (again, another MAJOR problem for prebuilts)
    -Actually very respectable storage specs
    -Great CPU and GPU pairing
    -Good looking aesthetics
    -Gaming performance blows the previous gen consoles out of the water, and is pretty on par with what the new consoles are more than likely going to provide for the first few years.
    To be perfectly honest, this is probably the only prebuilt of this price point I'd ever recommend to someone who INSISTS on getting a prebuilt gaming PC. All the flaws, especially the RAM, are very fixable (with the exception of the industry standard iffy power supply). This seems like a perfectly good starter rig to someone who wants to put a foot in the door to PC building but is still too scared to put the components together themselves. Later upgrading that cooler and adding more CPU fans seems like it'll be a great and low-stress opportunity to learn PC building in steps before they're comfortable putting a whole PC together.
    Just the fact that, out of the box, you actually get all the performance you paid for without having to call into tech support or access the BIOS is a huge plus for me. I think you're being a little harsh on it considering the industry standard of prebuilts.

    I was unable to build my own computer for various reasons so I ended up building and paying for the assembly of a computer from Memory Express. I selected the parts I wanted from their online store using their PC builder and paid them to assemble it. Although you could just get the parts shipped if you would prefer to do it yourself. They even had some sales on a few parts. Better then going out and buying a pre-built as you know what's in the system and how much you paid for them to assemble it. They have both an online store and physical locations, but they had no stores in my province so I had mine shipped.
    Only a couple of issues with them. Their customer service took awhile to get back to me via email, and you were unable to call for online sales as they took their line down due to the volume of calls they were receiving at the time. One issue they never got back to me on was me just seeing if I could switch a part out the day after I placed my order since a graphics card went on sale for about $100 less (same card, different brand). The other time I contacted them for an issue the response took just a couple of days and they were helpful. For expensive orders they will do a verification process to ensure there is no fraud going on, that was annoying and took a couple of days, I even had to send a couple of follow up emails since they were taking long to respond. One of their employees creeped my LinkedIn profile which I really didn't like, but whatever. All in all I liked the product I received, and I would definitely recommend them. You should do a review of Memory Express, and other online stores for computers in Canada!

    Picked up a CyberpowerPC pre-built at Best Buy this past December when it went on sale. Came with a full-size MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi motherboard, 16GB dual-channel 3200MHz RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, RTX 3070 (blower style, but it does help keep the inside of the case nice and cool), Core i7-1200KF, 800W (non-modular but still good) PSU, five PWM fans with ARGB, and an AIO cooler with a 240mm radiator and ARGB pump cover. The motherboard, GPU, memory, storage, and cooler would have cost at least as much as I paid for the whole system, and its case and other bits and bobs were also pretty darned decent. Granted, I ultimately swapped the guts over to a Fractal Design North case, but it still came in cheaper than I could've built my own system from the ground up.
    All that's to say there are some decent pre-builts out there if you're willing to go with lesser-known brands, especially when they get steeply discounted during the holidays as retailers are also trying to offload the year-old systems to make way for the new stuff.

    I like how we still use crysis as a testing benchmark even after all these years.
