This PC will give you amazing graphics and excellent gaming performance at the same time!
- If you're feeling competitive, you can use lower settings and get 200-300 fps in Fortnite, Apex Legends, etc.
- If you want your mind blown, you can max out the settings and still get 90+ fps on most games.
I've done everything I can to make this the most plug-and-play experience ever, including fully setting up the PC, so you can get right to gaming!
- I've installed and activated Windows 11 Home
- I've made sure all drivers (for Wi-Fi, audio, etc.) are installed and up-to-date
- I've installed the software you'll need to get started, like Steam, Chrome, and an app to control the RGB lights
- I've included a setup guide (both digital and a hard copy) that will tell you where to plug in your display, where to attach the included Wi-Fi antennas (though I do recommend Ethernet for the best performance), how to control the RGB, and how to contact me if something goes wrong!
ⓘ The shipping cost went down because the package is lighter than I thought!
Parts List
What's new/used? Why did I pick these parts?
There are a lot of PC parts that will work for years, and it's great to get those used! But there are also a lot of parts that you really don't want to fail (like storage). Here is a list of all the parts, how new they are, and why I selected them to be new or used:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
I got this used as CPUs tend to last for a long time with excellent performance!
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060Ti
This one was new/open box. GPUs are also a great used buy, as they tend to last for a long time, but this was a good deal so I went for it.
Storage: Crucial 1TB NVMe SSD
This one was brand new! I don't recommend buying storage used, you're just asking for it to fail. Also, you don't have to buy the most popular brands, but you should check and make sure there aren't a thousand people on Google/Reddit complaining about the model you're buying!
Power Supply: Corsair CX650
This one was basically refurbished. I generally don't like to buy power supplies used, in case they fail, but this one was from a trusted seller with a good quality inspection, so it'll last for a long time!
RAM: 32GB DDR4
These were used. Usually I buy RAM new because there's not much of a price difference, but in this case it was a good price and they turned out to be in excellent condition!
Motherboard: MSI B550 WiFi+Ethernet
Motherboards are great to buy used, because as long as the CPU socket isn't damaged, they work perfectly for a very long time, so this one was used but in perfect condition! It has built-in Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and 2.5Gbps ethernet, so you can connect anything you want.
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 RGB
I got this new because buying a used cooler with a bunch of old thermal paste on it is just not worth the price difference.
Fans: Rosewell 20mm RGB Fan Kit
Also new! There's nothing wrong with using used fans, but I didn't have any so I picked these up and the RGB turned out awesome!
Case: Zalman T7
Cases are a great thing to buy used, but if you're going to ship a PC you need a good box with good packing materials; I bought this one new so I can ship the PC in the original case box (with extra packaging) so it doesn't get damaged.
GPU Support Bracket: Custom
If you have a long GPU like the 3060Ti, screwing it in at the back is not enough to keep it from hanging down and damaging it's PCIe connector. For this case, I 3D modeled and printed a custom GPU support bracket that looks good and will keep your graphics card safe!
