For that price, that pc is a much better deal than what I can get from your sponsor.
Swap out the RAM and put in two sticks. All the tests he did was single channel DDR, which completely defeats the purpose of using DDR in the first place.
The sky is blue.
lol
@@TurboLoveTrain DDR does not mean what you think it means...DC vs SC in games makes minimal difference on low end hardware.
@@TurboLoveTrain DDR prefetches 2 bits instead of the 1 bit that SDRAM fetches, regardless of how many channels are available. Dual channel doubles the amount of memory bandwidth. Edited to sound less like a dick, sorry.😅
For $550 brand new, that's not half bad. It's already assembled, so no hassle for the end user, comes with everything you need to start using it (even though all of the peripherals are trash quality), and it can still run games decently at 1080p. Edit: It doesn't look like it supports DLSS, only FSR, but it might still help with performance in some games. I would've loved to have something like this as a first PC when I was a kid.
i thought you needed rt cores fore dlss
@@MrJacobjj84 you do I'm pretty sure
But for 500 you can get a console at that price
the problem is that "brands" like STG also exists worldwide - has a similar name in EU - all STG- goes into 1 chinese company (while they use cheap parts which isnt a big problem) - but if u look at the power supply its either a fire hazard or has unknown lifetime - its some sort of the cheap chinese PSU - u usually avoid, some tested it and it explodes or stopped working after couple of weeks. cant speak for american psu quality but the one they sell in the EU it feels almost illegal to sell. (also the motherboard is questionable but as long u dont need anything setting wise like xmp or upgradeability i guess)
@@machintrucGamingand less selection of games for same price, so might as well getthe far superior pc
"Not the greatest gaming experience"
You're getting 60fps at 1080p Highest...
On a 6 year old game.
1080p/60fps isn't exactly great. It is, or should be, standard for PC. It's good for what it is, though.
@@malchir4036 Games didn't get much better from that point, honestly
copium
it's a great PC, especially for the price. jays gotten spoiled and out of touch lately with what most gamers actually need for their set ups.
That JayzThreeCents line got me dead... You guys smoked more breaksfast than I did today didn't you?

I foresee a new challenge.
Build a PC for $549, including a keyboard, mouse, headphones and speakers.
Same thinking lol. I ditched the speakers though. It was speakers or a better motherboard Chipset and I chose the better motherboard. They can use the TV or monitor speakers lol.
Total is $552. Site used was Newegg. Brand new parts.
Some highlights are this system would have better 1080p gaming performance. Higher core CPU and higher clocks. Newer generation Chipset. Arguably better CPU cooler (AMD Wraith). Gen 4 NVME speeds. Dual Channel Memory. 600 Watt PSU. Name Brand Parts for the PC internals.
DIYPC Rainbow ATX Case with Fans $43
Ryzen 5500 $77
ASRock B550M Pro SE $85
G. skill Aegis 8gb x 2 DDR4 3200 $30
Team Group MP44L Gen 4 Nvme 512Gb. $37
EVGA 600 Watt 80+ white $45
Gigabyte RX 6600 Eagle $180
Marco Scorpion Combo with Keyboard, mouse, and headset. $35
Belkin mouse pad. $5
Windows 11 Pro Key $15
I think that would make a much better gaming rig in that budget. I'd actually prefer an 8Gb RTX 3050 for myself since a lot of stuff I do needs cuda, if the person ever wanted to dip their toes in 3D work like blender, Nvidia makes life easier there even though the 3050 doesn't game as well as the 6600.
Even at this budget there are still options available.
Been building PCs for 20 years and selling a few - new and used parts. I can't match $549 all new parts.
@@Darksector88 Is that PCP or Microcenter?
@@thebandofmaidsYou need to learn where to search for parts then. Very easy to find new parts that will beat the rig jay showed for the same price. In the US at least.
@@tiromandal6399newegg
the 1660 super is a remanufactured card by stg for sure. It's got a PNY XLR8 cooler design, an MSI backplate. They're literally just breaking down the cards, taking the gpu's, putting them on new boards and just copying the designs for coolers and such.
Edit: Also the languages weren't weird. It is indeed setup for NA. MExican Spanish and Canadian French are not the same as regular french and spanish. There /are/ differences default by MS.
Being canadian or french was already bad enough then some sickos make up canadian french smh
it wasnt about it being weird, its about how the windows program only offers those 3 languages. not the other 500 they normally do. (not literally 500)
Building or Fixing or Rebuilding gpu's is an art form if you have ever watched someone transplant the gpu from one board to another board.
It's probably pirated or grey-market (at best) Windows. Jay did mention he'd check that, but he never did in this video.
in 2018 i bought one of my first gaming pc's being a single dad it was all i could afford at the time. from Lyte technology. 500$ included a i7 3770s, rx 580 8gb, 16gb ddr3 1600, 500gb ssd, 1tb hdd, 500 watt psu, with a keyboard and mouse. my father still has that pc he uses it for is 3d printing stuff now but but is crazy that what 6 years later 540$ pc's still have the same performance level of gpu's and honestly thats not THAT bad cause in that price range all you ever really see is 1650's or 3050's
Some of those part were used though i assume
@@oimazzo2537 the 3770 came out in 2012. and the rx 580 2017. considering the pc was bought in 2018....yeah some parts were used. you must not know how 90% of prebuilt companies work lol you can buy an ibuypower pc from walmart and it could have used parts in it. thats the reality of prebuilts
@@wage23 i get it but its kind of still different stuff with warranty stuff and prebuilt. You did good but it's not apple to apples and with the same process you used back then you can probably build something fairly better than that or this prebuilt at the same price
as i still have my 3770 asus tuf rig, i use it as a truenas test rig now, its still very capable, mine has a 960 for transcoding testing. i used it for years as my main gaming system until i decided it was time for an upgrade when the i7 12k came out. night and day, but i was still gaming on it for that long, and it still JUST WORKS.
@@AndreasA.S. it still keeps up for sure about 2 years ago i built my daughter her first pc with a i7 3770s with 16gb of ram and a 2tb hdd i got off facebook for 60$ swapped everything to a new case with a 40$ 500 watt psu, and threw in a 90$ brand new from amazon rx 580 8gb, plays games like warzone high settings 1080p 65-70 fps. cant beat it for the whole setup monitors, headset everything was like 550. granted she plays stuff like rocket league or goat simulator but its still a very capable pc.
I've been subscribed to your channel for more than 7 years now...and I still remember the good old days, but I have to say Jay, I really enjoy your content these days and it makes me excited for the way forward. You guys are an awesome team! Please take care of yourselves in these tough times and many blessings to you and your family.
@@wynandsmall19 it’s getting to a point where you would almost be better off buying a cheap mini pc and a GPU dock and a cheap GPU.
I don't hate this. At all. I think this would make a decent 1080P gaming computer, something good for a kid or someone who doesn't have much money. I would recommend over a console too.
Any game from pre 2018, so some of the best games ever almost always on sale on Steam, would look great on it at 1080p. Great system to get someone into PC gaming.
Yeah, there is definitely a legit market for this. If I wasn't into tech and had a kid who needed a computer for school but who also wanted something to game on, this would be great. Although I do think it'd be much improved without the craptastic RGB extras.
@@davyrando1203 LOL One reason I love RGB is I love RGB puke. I like the way it looks, but that is me, I showed my friend that you can just change the colors and it doesn't have to look this way, so now he buys stuff in RGB and changes the color. My son is like me, the more RGB, the better.
Prebuilds are not all bad; most are but there are some really good ones (like the recent Starforge that GN had reviewed).
I find the powerspec lineup at microcenter is also really good for prebuilts.
Dont think its talked about enough that the PC you need is based on the screen you're using. A lot of oeople still use 1080p monitor and a system like this will be fine for them
yeah, if you're at 1080p on the monitor, you don't need anything over a 1070 realistically.
Jay forgot to test "smallest headset ever". Besides slow single-channel RAM - that is quite a decent starter prebuild.
honestly i still prefer doing my own research and buying parts and assembling them by myself as per cost and need this prebuilt thing never gives me the peace of mind for satisfaction
For me, building the pc is part of the fun.
@@GearheadK20C4 Building is like the best part. Researching, buying, and actually using is just formalities haha
@@GearheadK20C4 building and overclocking the best performance ur build can gave for a couple of hours for the game you want to play, played for a couple of hours and never play it again🤣
I also trust myself to assemble my PC with more care and in a better fashion than random dude doing it as his 9 to 5.
not everybody has the time to research the current trends in technology to then make a list of parts to then overclock that system and design an entire watercooling on top of that, but i get your point, some people have more money than time.
I like how 1080p 60+ is now " it's not bad" like a backhanded complement, there are a good number of pc gamers who are still rocking similar hardware heck i was till i upgraded recently to a 7800x3d and a 7900gre. Something like this along with my PS5 kept me a happy gamer.
For the price it looks like a very good option for a lot of people getting their first pc or a pc for their kids.
It's not the newest or the greatest in technology but it's very affordable and for most people looking for a cheap prebuild , i dont think high fps gaming and cinebench score are a concern .
Instead of all the RGB, RGB controller and glass panel, put a second DIMM in there, or NVME SSD instead of SATA. And exhaust fan.
And the manufacturers wouldn't be doing this if the consumers didn't go for -dumb- cool lights instead of performance
Honestly unless it blows up for 550 you can't moan. Yeah over time add a stick of ram, m2 and even a cheap keyboard a nice starter kit for someone
Remember Jay... it's 2024, Inflation, high unemployment rate, government threating to shut down again. Most people can't even afford a PC let alone put food on the table. This is a great starter PC. I started with i5 3550 and a gt1030 3 yrs ago
Most? Really?
Society continues as normal in a government shutdown. No one would notice any difference. Every program gets paid. All essential services continue as normal. Fed parks, landmarks, and certain buildings are closed and that’s it.
When Jay popped the styrofoam out.... "Damn! That looks like the system I built back in 1998!"
Lots of the HP machines I set up for work have English (United States) as the only language option in the OOBE setup.
I probably spent more time picking a pre build than using one. Gave it to my son, built my own and never looked back.
Honestly, i run an I3-10100F, and this CPU is still kicking ass.
Id legit say this is a system worth its price point, especially with a newer GPU than mine(RX 550)
I am playing on a much newer more powerful system but honestly I find these days the majority of my game purchases being added to my Steam library are older games at very steep sale prices which would run fine on much lesser hardware.
Back in the day I played a lot of the Assassins Creed series on the Playstation platform and on a current sale just bought Assassins Creed II for under $5 which should run fine on a system such as in this video or even better on a very budget PC build of currently available mainstream parts and pieces.
Sure some of the older games may lack some of the effects or graphics of the new AAA stuff but they are available for super cheap price, many have excellent storylines and fantastic gameplay.
I know over the years I have played many older "classic" game titles that although multiple years old since initial release at the time I played them were still totally new and fresh to me and thoroughly enjoyed.
Just because a person whether through choice or budget restrictions PC games on more budget gear running lesser resolutions and refresh rates does not mean that person is not immensely enjoying the time they are gaming.
i agree fancy graphics are great but tbh imo its the devs take dragons age origins for eg brilliant game dx9 lol. 1080p looks great runs on a 2nd gen i7 2600 even. i'm with you.
I must agree, the Ezio trilogy was the best in the Assassins Creed franchise. That and Black Flag.
@@billwiley7216 Yep who buys higher end PC to play AAA games ? Hell no, we just play older games faster 🤣
yea, same here, I never buy new releases. Soooo many great games out there .. why fixate on the latest.
Sub-MicroATX boards are very common in fact, Asus/ASRock really love them
I got one of these from STGaubron RX 470 8gb i7 16 gb of ram as well and I cannot complain. Had it for a while. Yes indeed I did have some slight issues originally but the issues died down after I reinstalled windows and installed the latest Radeon AMD driver.
Imagine thinking that CSGO capability is something to be proud of. You can play that game on a toaster.
In Europe, so with around 20% tax already included (550$ x 120% = 655$):
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 (cooler included) = 109$
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 PULSE 8GB = 200$
Motherboard : ASRock B550M-HDV = 68$
RAM: GSKILL Aegis 16GB 3200Mhz CL16 = 30$
SSD: ADATA LEGEND 710, PCIe Gen 3x4, M.2, 1TB = 57$
PSU: Seasonic B12 BC series 80 Bronze 550W = 60$
Case: Aerocool Bionic (mid-tower ATX) = 37$
Fans: 2x Arctic P12 PWM 120mm (case also has a fan) = 11$
Total = 572$ and add any wireless keyboard (25$) + Bluetooth speakers (25$) = 622$ (even have 50$ left for a W11 key...)
Great 👍👍👍
RX 6600 is 4 times faster than the 1660?
@@enihi That's impossible, no! The rx 6600 is generally 20-30% faster than gtx 1660...

This guy don't watch the Toasty Bros.
For that price, that's a very good entry point into pc gaming!
The real downside is i dont see an upgrade path for anything in here but the type of people buying this would just buy a new pc anyways
That remote for the RGB is EXACTLY the same remote I got for a fisk tank light!
I built my sons first pc from some parts i had here. 3400G + my old OG evga titan. He just plays Minecraft, Uno and hot wheels. Its been solid.
The titan is still a good card.
ok 3 minutes in and this is better than the $8000 PC just because it contains useful documentation. lol
It's a decent starter system. It has an ok upgradabilty and thermals are decent.
Just buy an additional stick of RAM, cheap tower cooler and 10700 on the aftermarket in the future, and it will be relevant for a very long time.
@@Vladislav888 lol at that point it's basically a new pc.
That kind of board size is the "off-spec" Micro ATX. You can check out the usual known brands, they have boards like this too.
Example,
- ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2 R2.0
- Gigabyte H610M K DDR4
- Maxsun Challenger H610M-R
You can check out all their product pages, all of them claim to be Micro ATX.
OMG he brought up eMachines and I fainted. The horror of that piece of junk I had in the mid 90s....
Perfect first pc for anyone between 10-14.
It's probably a Machinist Motherboard, with a reclaimed chipset, they should of disclaimed that, it has all the tells that it one with the not full m-atx form factor and bios. Technically that makes the mobo used.
this is a great computer for 550 bucks. it kinda shows how out of touch you've become with your builds.
Agree. Jay thinks that it’s just ok, but forgets that a large percentage of gamers are on 1080p and they can afford only about what this system is, the economy being what it is.
Your E-machine reference got me. I remember vividly upgrading my emachine with a used 6600GT and an extra 1GB of RAM - I could finally walk into Ironforge without stutters. Or rather, without too many stutters.
I just ordered pc parts for my son for 378. Ryzen 5 4500 with a Gigabyte B450, 32 gb of t-force ram and a rx 590 8gb. Reusing case and ssd. Not a power house but will do what he needs it for all within his budget.
I managed a rx7600 and r5 5600 for 615 euro on the local market, with other equivalent (shitty) parts. This should be about 550 dollar but doesn't include shipping/assembly. So a better deal can be had for around that price point, IF you're very lucky and can find a deal on a gpu.
Last winter I got my 9 y.o. son a Acer Nitro 50 with a i5 11440F/ GTX1660 6gb /512 SSD/8gb Ram for $200 open box. That was a great deal. Need to get the RAM up but other than that its a great first gaming computer. This computer seems to be in that ballpark. Cheers!
If you can build your own its a fail, if you are not comfortable assembling a PC from parts its a fairly decent deal.
I think this is a very good deal for your child's first computer. It's already completely put together with windows and everything. So unpack and start gaming. This will make every child happy and for the same money as an Xbox or Playstation and yet much cooler with the RGB and so on.
For a kid, this is great. Low level gaming (I was frankly shacked at it's performance in Shadow), homework (half of USA student's classwork is online nowadays) and general internet usage. hard to complain. Sure, better gaming on a console, but you aren't getting into your online classwork with that. Heck, I spent more than that on my graphics card, and it's not top of the line. Splurge on the amazon extended warranty, and any repair would likely be an upgrade.
I love these kinda videos when you compare pre built vs assembling on your own with the same budget invested.
So the card is labeled 8GB 1660s. Since its a 1660 super so its definitely a 6GB card. I'd be hitting up that seller for that alone. Never mind the fact the mobo is likely made with recycled components. Maybe not a complete scam, but there is scamming happening here.
I had an eMachine and when I went into Best Buy I asked the employee if it could run F.E.A.R. They told me it could. It in fact could not run anything lmao
Nice to see one of you bigger tech youtubers actually thinking about the lower end for a change. It is easy to forget the mere mortals when you live at the top. Nice job.
At Micro Center, we had reburbished units from this company with really old CPUs in them. We still have some today though we don't list the company on our website.
I'd kinda like to see a $50 or $100 upgrade guide for something like this. Just to see what Jay would do to make it better on the kind of budget that's gonna buy a system like this to start with.
failed right at the start, that's not a gamer motherboard, just because a pc can play a few games does not mean its a gaming pc
This is such a stupid take. It doesn’t have to be black and red, covered in RGB to be “gamer”. If it works, and can play games, it’s a gaming PC.
It has RGB. So you are sure to have a gaming PC. It wil run every game on max settings for sure. ;)
no, you've just been fooled by youtubers in thinking that a "gaming motherboard" is a thing and not just marketing hoopla.
I wish you had tested the games the manufacturer claimed it runs.
It’s pretty amazing how far we have come in such a short time. Considering the minimum retail I can find that video card for is 200 I don’t think that’s a bad deal with everything they give you. Except the processor is really slow.
build wife a system years ago, she games more than i do, and i game alot. the specs are i guess you can call it 20% better in all aspects (1660ti evga, 10700), with name brand parts. shes still to this day happy with it and has yet to come complaining to me about needing upgrades. aside from your unit being chinesium re-badge of subpar parts, the specs are still very usable.
I'm impressed, that brand didn't do well for others. I paid about $150 more than the one you got from CyberpowerPC and I runs well and I'm super happy. My first gaming pc ever, and I was a console "only" player since the consoles first came out way back when. I'm a MUCH older player, 63, I'll never go back to console. PC gaming is a whole new wonderful world to me. 👍🏻
You can build a $500 gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 5500, RX6600, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB nvme drive pretty easily. All new parts.
I had a similar system. It was a second hand custom built.
It had a MSI h510, 10100f, Inno3D GTX1660, Sata SSD and CM 550W PSU.
It was a decent build and used to run Valorant, NFS Unbound, NFS Heat, CS2, Stray etc. at 1440P high at over 120fps consistently.
Gotta say, I went through 3 mobos within a year (warranty claims!) abd I assume it being an issue with H510 and 1660 being too powerful for it.
Swaped the 1660 for a 730 before I came to Canada for my mom and it is running without any issue since.
That RGB remote is the same one I have FOR MY FISHTANK 😂
mATX has a variety of different dimensions possible
I've an I3 10105F too ,and this processor can run every game I'm playing so far even ps3 games using rpcs3 can be completed with 15-25 fps ,and It can run Nintendo Switch games with no hassle ,but for me it's a temporary solution till I would be able to afford my next pc build.
Ive seen worse "gaming" builds for sale on FB for more. Apart from trying to mislead it as top end id say for someone new to pcs its not bad for pick up and play
you are being disrespectful to the computer regardless of its worth
I tend to find that even in fancier cases by known brands (looking at you, Corsair!) the front USB sockets are often hit and miss in terms of whether or not a portable drive will actually work steadily, or even at all.
That price. New. Assembled. All the things needed for PC gaming. Seems a lot better then a console from a price and usefulness standpoint. Entry to PC gaming done well.
ToastyBros do a lot of STGAubron as a mainstay in the value space. Doesn't mean all their PCs are good, but that looks to be one of the more sensible configs. There's a good chance most of the parts in there are refurbs, clearanced, or otherwise scratched together, but for a value PC for like a casual gamer or a kid instead of a console, it seems pretty solid.
For roughly the same price(+- 20 $) I got parts used/new-Ryzen 5500,2x4 gb ddr4 2666,tower cooler(3 heatpipe),6 fans RGB with controler,A320 mbo,2 x 240gb sata SSD,1 x 512 gb Nvme boot disc,Corsair CV650 PSU,RX 580 8GB(1660 super is 20-30$ more),LG 2560x1080 Ultrawide 29 inch,40 watt 2.1 speakers,mechanical keyboard with custom keycaps and switches,3 x 500gb external hdd's,tempered glass case,xbox quality joypad and quality 16800 dpi mouse,win 10(11) key-I got it build over 2 years ago still works with 0 problems.Building yourself is the best satisfaction if you can do it!!! (edit-I don't game much so I stick with RX 580)
It's SkyTech Global so "Ess Tee Gee Aubron" like you said, but I really want to say "Saint Gaubron" every time I see it
omg your boy roasted you good on the 2/3 languages part. had me in stitches my guy.
I got an HP Slimline several years ago; same sort of set up, really, except it had a 4700G without a separate card. Biggest performance upgrade initially was just adding a second ram stick; later added a RX 6600. But adding another stick of ram ought to double the bandwidth for the cpu.
Was able to put together a Pc with a Ryzen 5 5500, Soyo B450M mobo, 16gb Dual channel 3200mhz ram, RX 6600, Raidmax MESHIAN X902 case, MSI MAG 550w psu, Patriot P300 1tb M.2.... All for $516 on Newegg....
Maybe this one can be comparable and probably a stronger configuration, at least where I live:
AMD Ryzen 5 5500: 76 CHF
AM4 Asrock mATX Motherboard: 50 CHF
PSU and Case: 100 CHF (by not buying the cheapest and Noname, which would be around 60 CHF)
VGA: RTX 3050 6 GB 175 CHF
RAM: GSKILL 2X8GB 3200MHZ DDR4: 30CHF
SSD: 500 GB Kingston M2 SSD: 35 CHF
Total: 466 CHF, which is around 547 USD
Looks pretty sweet to me. Little 1080p dorm pc. You could do some legit productivity and gaming.
yea i heard that toot of a fart at the split second of the beginning!!!!!!! lololol
To be honest the price is not bad at all, I mean you get a full working pc, a keyboard, mouse, headset, speaker and even a mousepad, I know those last are cheap quality but you just hook it up to a screen and you are ready to go.. Also, the 1660 super is pretty capable card in my opinion, for 1080p gaming high/max setting it still works really well.. Just think about this, you can get all of this for less than a 4070 super... Not bad at all
"ULTRA STABLE!!!" - Uh! That's a relieve....
thanks for the heart attack at 00:02
Please donate this to some deserving junior high school. This PC would perform every need they would ever have.
It's just tipical refab, there are a lot of them in china, and they are flooded market in my country last year after Ethereum moved to PoS. This gpu's are all after mining. A lot of prebuilts like this are sold without refurbishing or even cleaning. I rly don't recommend buying them, even if it's somewhat decent looking refab, this parts there worked non-stop in trash environments for years and can die at any moment
i love watchin these pre built reviews.
Good little HTPC living room computer for some couch gaming, kodi+streaming etc. Well provided can switch off all the daft RGB.
I think your final comments were the best that could be expected for anything around $500.
It's a little better than I expected.
Thanks a lot Jay...I had forgotten about Emachines.
Would be nice to see the tests with a fresh install, because these prebuilts tend to come with some funky bloatware or settings.
To be fair, Canadian French is more like Franglais than proper Parisian french

Throwing even a cheap PC around the way you did with this one at the start is totally irresponsible.
When looking at their parts and their other computers. This type of OEM was only a matter of time. There are a lot of companies in Asia that resell refurbished PC hardware, especially after the Crypto boom. Lots of refurb motherboards lots of 2XXX, 1660, and RX 580's. I'd like to see if you could put something together at this price point J, I know we see a lot of builds like this from channels like Ozi's, but I would like to see your take on a system like this and maybe even an upgrade path. I know you did a video similar to that one last year.
Lol as someone who's subscribed to Toasty Bros, I'm very familiar with STG prebuilds. The peripherals are always laughable but hey, in a pinch, who cares.
Thought you called them "STD Aubron" at first 😭😂
By default on PC's here you get
English (United States)
Swedish (Sweden)
Norwegian bokmål (Norway)
Norwegian Nynorsk (Norway)
Danish (Denmark)
Finnish ( Finland)

USB ports on cases always have a high chance of suck. Always use motherboard ports for important devices like an SSD/data-transfer drive and use case ports for less-important shiz' like usb headphones mouse keyboard... lower-powered non-data transfer stuff. Anyway, this PC is actually very good and balanced for the price - EXCEPT FOR THE 1 STICK OF RAM, adding another and having dual-channel is the best upgrade.
You should put this up against a PS5 Pro. It would be interesting to see how it compares to the "upgrade" that Sony calls as Pro system to a budget PC like this.
My first PC was a Pionex. Back in 1999.
I5 12400f
Deepcool ag400 led air cooler
MSI H610M
Corsair 8x2 = 16gb 3200mhz
Deepcool pk550d 80 plus bronze
RTX 3050 6gb DDR6
Crucial 500gb m.2 NVME
Ant eSports elite 1100x cabinet
We sell it in India for ₹50k which is approx.. $550 in the US
Not bad for the price. I would add another memory module to put it in dual channel mode, a 16GB DDR4 module is pretty cheap nowadays.
Makes no sense on why to buy (always loved your teams work and how you broke things into understandable sections). Here’s an example on why not to buy, we know automakers could make a Geo Metro and if they did I would never buy one but with so many feature rich sexy designed reliable cars on the road today with support and safety built in, building a Geo Metro is a big waste of time/resources and a huge slap in the face for what is needed in the market for consumers.
I think you proved there are working PC complete systems being sold right now and for anyone that missed the covd scramble to buy a remote work computer. However, this would never be something I would ever recommend this year moving forward unless your intent would be turning it into a kiosk - maybe for a waiting room, mechanic shop floor, building directories, check-in/out brick’n mortar store or for a 3-5 year old at home.
