I’m not very good when it comes to building my own pc and the fear of having to handle the issue myself if something goes wrong is too much of a headache.

Currently I have a gaming laptop (acer nitro 5) that I enjoy because of the portability, I treat it like a switch of sorts, however it doesn’t really play new titles with the best frame rate.So I want a stationary computer for when I’m home that can play all games at 1080p 144z with medium-highest settings and I’ve come down to these two PCs.

I can’t really trust either of the reviews because both of them have questionable things surrounding them, but I figured when buying through amazon you always get their return policy which is good. I’d really appreciate your guys’ help on this decision.

Well thinking and knowing is two completely different things... if this is your computer I’d upgrade the graphics card. To at least a 1060 6gb they are pretty decent and you’ll def be able to play rust. I really think you need a new cpu as well but idk the mobo so I can’t recommend a new one and I’m not a ryzen guy but if that’s the pc I’ll look into it and tell you what you could do.




ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini, ZT-P10600A-10L, 6GB GDDR5 VR Ready Super Compact Gaming Graphics Card (Renewed) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SLKXR6S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0lzyDb6H6GPSG

I think it’s a solid build. My only suggestions would be:

1- if you shop around you might find for maybe $20 more you can upgrade your ram to 16GB
2- if you haven’t built a pc before then I highly recommend getting a semi-modular or modular psu. It may cost you $50 extra but it’s excellent for cable management and will help you a great deal if you’re building a microATX pc
3- lastly- I actually just made a build with that pc case and I absolutely hate it. I hate such a hard time navigating the case (my massive cooler didn’t help either). I don’t even put the plastic siding on it bc it gets so hot. I would highly recommend spending the extra money on this one instead - https://www.amazon.com/MasterBox-Magnetic-Transparent-Acrylic-Performance/dp/B0785GRMPG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1563966213&refinements=p_89%3ACooler+Master&s=pc&sr=1-2

Thanks though still quite not sure if this is quite needed for me as I wanted to save a little bit on the built with a few components....But seems like their is nowhere to safe..

Else I found a solid Deal on a SSD
Would you choose this
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07LGF54XR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3OPWMF9XBYSSI&psc=1
over the above mentioned Samsung 970 Evo the price difference is 80Euro(with a Coupon(Sabrent goes for 89,96 Euro and the Samsung 169,90 as of now)


Maybe I could compensate the cost with this SSD.

You could get this if you just want to get 8gb
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gwW6CbRQ25X68

Or if you're fine with spending 80 more dollars definitely get the Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb

A little expensive but i can find something even faster if you want

Here you go.

Maybe you could upgrade the cpu to a ryzen 5. 2600 because of the price drops.
