Best prebuilt PC for $3000 to $3500?

FatalHero · May 12, 2015

I am trying to buy a $3000 to $3500 prebuilt gaming PC for myself. Please help and don't ask me to build it my self I spent hours trying to learn but I could do it. Please help!

It depends on what you want, really. Do you want a small portable machine or a larger more upgradable one?

Are things other than the system included in budget? Monitor as well?

What about the possibility of you ordering the parts and paying someone else to build it and provide support for you?

Clam: I want anything that is in my budget and no I have a moniter.
Wolf: Sure it would be fine paying someone trusted.

For a note though I am not buying at the moment but in the near future I just want to know my options.

Any Mom and Pop computer shops in your area?

None I believe sir.

Check the Yellow Pages to see if there are any computer repair shops in town. If so, give them a call or better yet, go visit them. Talk to them a bit. See if they'd be willing, if you gave them a list of components (which we at Tom's would provide) would they be willing to put it together for you.

They said yes I called them.

Then I'd probably recommend something like this:

I'd also recommend updating this thread title to something else or starting a new thread for a $2700-$3200 custom build and let folks know you intend to have someone else build it for you.

This one is pretty good for $3000. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230023

Of course if you tried to build a similar computer yourself you would save at least $500.

Wolfshadw · May 12, 2015

That PC would probably save a lot of headaches (until you needed to ship it in for repairs under warranty). I'm not too keen on the power supply, but it's better than most you'll find in pre-built systems.

I just wanted to chime in again. I'm guessing the monitor you have isn't exactly worth of a $3,000 computer. I would suggest putting some of the machine's budget into a 4K monitor or at least a 1440p monitor.

FatalHero · May 13, 2015

Do you guys know anyone online who is trusted who could build the computer if I send them the money?

Wolfshadw · May 13, 2015

<---- THIS GUY! LOL!

FatalHero · May 13, 2015

XD well what do you think I can get at my $3000 to my $3500 budget? (Not buying right now but in a few weeks)

Wolfshadw · May 13, 2015

Personally, I'd stick with the build I listed above or you can save yourself some time and headaches with the pre-built theonerm2 linked.

FatalHero :

I would gladly build the computer for you.

FatalHero · May 13, 2015

I just made a great PC on ncix and I am getting them to build it for me.

theonerm2 · May 13, 2015

FatalHero :

What are the specs? How much did it cost?

Best prebuilt PC for $3000 to $3500?
