First things first: I'm not from the I
US, so I have no clue if the vendor you chose is a good one. So I assume ibuypower is okay.


The build looks okay in general.

You might want to invest the 60$ more for this model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MK3WHQR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_IXzzCb7VX57JV
The Ryzen 7 is much faster the the Ryzen 5, which could be interesting for streaming.

16gb ram would also be a benefit for your planned streaming activities. So you either buy this model https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCVWJMV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_N2zzCbEMFS1N9
Or you buy more ram and insert it in one of the other pre builds. (E. G. this ram https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0734V4SSR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_N7zzCbN1ZP36M) for the white Ryzen 7 model).

This is what I have found. For suggestions im not really sure. If you are going to play other games that lspdfr consider the cuk one as it's got a more powerful GPU. That said though at the end of the day lspdfr needs more CPU power than gpu. So the 2600 trades blows with the 9400f while the 2700x is the best.
Don't get me wrong though but 2600 and 9400f should be just fine in lspdfr. I use a 2600x which is the same as 2600 just clocked a bit higher. I get good frame rates of usually around 50-60 and I have a bunch of plugins, custom police cars and add-on ones, as well as NVR

Here is a decent prebuilt that has some good upgradibilty options. You could upgrade the GPU and the RAM down the line, but overall a pretty good system.

Hello, this might not be the place for it but I'm looking to finally get a prebuilt gaming desktop.

On top of gaming I foresee heavily using programs like Unity and Blender.

I've narrowed it down to a few deals that look pretty good to me but I'm not sure which to pull the trigger on:

I'm not sure whether SkyTech or iBuyPower has a better reputation, but the specs overall seem pretty similar between these.

Thanks!

A friend of mine is looking into getting into PC gaming and has been asking for advice. I've been trying to steer him towards building a machine, but he seems adamant about wanting a prebuilt.

I've built all of my computers, and don't really know much about which manufacturers/builders are generally better in terms of quality.

His budget is ~1200 at the moment, and he seems to really like this one.

On paper... it doesn't seem like an awful deal as far as price goes, seems to cost about the same as what the components would cost when I throw up something roughly equivalent on pcpartpicker, but they're pretty vague about some things like not listing mobo type or whether it's 1 16gb stick or 2 8gb sticks of ram.

I personally would steer him more towards getting something with a 2600x and a 2070. Or maybe buying a cheaper build like this that he could upgrade down the line. I'd also probably would recommend that he wait until bios issues are sorted with b350 boards and then get something with a r5 3600x.

Thoughts?

Is there a prebuilt machine that you'd recommend for someone with a budget of $1200?
