I decided to buy this prebuilt instead of building my pc

Probably going to upgrade the GPU in the future but I think it’ll be able to do what I need😭

You might need to upgrade the PSU too in the future when you upgrade the GPU. Check what PSU this comes with and see if you can easily put a new one in.
What are you planning on doing with this build?

It’s an interesting starter set pc. I’d say it’s just priced a bit high, but it should have a strong support being ASUS ROG. Definitely will need to upgrade the GPU and PSU later

You’ve probably learned a ton from asking all these questions and refining your build to the exact part over again and over again. I’m glad you’re going through this process. Your build has space to increase RAM later down the line and lots of power for future upgrades as well. You’re on a good track.

The parts and the power supply definitely are a step up from the proprietary nonsense that prebuilt has. Considering that you plan to potentially upgrade down the line, 850w is plenty of power to play with should you ever decide to upgrade that cpu or gpu. Good luck on the build post a pic when its done!
@Pointer which graphics card do you think is better for my build?
