Hi all,
I am looking for the best prebuilt gaming pc for around $1200 max. I have a couple picked out, but I don't know a whole lot about computers, so I don't know which one would be best. I am looking for the best computer for graphics and all around speed. Also one that I will not have to upgrade for a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I've picked out:

Yes the system would be much faster and have a powerful CPU (1600x is better for gaming due to a higher clock speed tehn the 1700 and its overclockable) and GPU. 8GB is starting to be the bare minimum for gaming but RAM is easily upgradable down the line, but given RAM prices currently I would wait and then as I said buy a set of 2x8GB 3200MHZ RAM.

From all the reviews Ive seen Xidax seems to have excellent quality and a warranty, where as Cyberpower/iBuypower alot of times are extremely mixed.
I wouldn't buy any of them personally, the Intel ones arent bad but considering they are the last gen processor they arent worth the price, and the AMDs just aren't worth getting since they aren't Ryzens.

I went to https://www.xidax.com/desktops/x-2 and configured that system with a Ryzen 1600X, 8GB RAM (i would recommend upgrading to 16GB of 3200MHZ Ram as soon as prices come down) a ASROCK AB350 PRO4 Mobo (execllent board) and a RADEON RX 580 8GB for 1212 bucks.

The Issue with Cyberpower is that all their systems other then graphics card are older hardware.

Would the system you configured run better? And how does 8 gigs of ram compare to 16?
