First time buyer..

Any suggestions would be amazing..

what’s your objective with the computer is it just mainly for gaming? are you stuck on buying a prebuilt cause you can get more PC for your money by building one


here’s one I’m still looking for more options

Mostly gaming, some school. I can try to build one, Ive never built one before though..

Oh wow, thats sick

well let’s just keep that one in mind also because you’re honestly better going on an AMD system for several reasons which I’ll tell you in a bit

honestly that’s the best one I see so far unless you wanna build. then you’re talking a whole new situation.

here’s some stuff for you to watch and see if that’s something you’re interested in. It is not hard I built my first PC and haven’t done it in15 years and it went smooth. but you didn’t have to really take your time. if you don’t feel comfortable with it then stay with the prebuilt route for now

that’s a pretty decent PC eventually you could update the ram. The only thing I don’t like about Intel the past few generations is that every new generation you basically have to scrap the whole thing and buy a new motherboard and new memory and everything like that there’s no upgrade path. Where AMD the past few generations you were able just to change the CPU out because they still use the same motherboard and the same memory. But honestly for the money that thing is pretty good. eventually you could probably update the CPU on that to a 14900K which is the top of the line one but that’s it you’re still stuck on 14 Gen.

by the time that happens maybe you’ll be more comfortable with building a computer though

Keep looking though. what you definitely don’t want is a 8 GB video card you could be better off saving a little bit more before you did that

Honestly, i dont know what im looking for…

You should be fine and can expect this kind of performance.

1080p
• High settings in almost everything
• 100–160 FPS in many AAA games (depending on title)
• Esports titles (Fortnite, Valorant, CoD, Apex): very high FPS

1440p
• High settings in most modern games
• 60–120 FPS typical
• 16GB VRAM helps a lot with newer, heavier titles

Ray tracing
• Light to moderate RT is doable
• Heavy RT (Cyberpunk full RT, Alan Wake 2 maxed) → expect to lower settings or use upscaling

What it won’t do perfectly
• Maxed-out ray tracing at 4K
• Ultra settings + heavy RT in the most demanding 2024–2025 games without compromises

Last thing. Is newegg and this company safe to buy from?

I don’t work for Newegg, But they are one of the larger online retailers in the US. I bought my 9070xt GPU through them and had zero issues. That computer is a smaller builder who sells their stuff on newegg its a very common situation. When you watch the big youtube computer info chanels they always mention MicroCenter and Newegg.

looks like it has a 30day return policy so keep your boxes and paperwork just in case. plus a 2 year warrantee
