Looking to invest in a new gaming PC.
I've been away from the "scene" for over a dozen years (or thereabouts), but looking to dip my toes back in the water.
I'm looking for a pre-built simply because I don't have the ability to build my own system, despite my relative familiarity with the parts themselves. Rather spend the extra money, and get it done right and neatly, etc.
I am familiar with Alienware, but a lot of these other companies (i.e. MSi) offer high-end models, but their towers are just way too funky looking for my taste.
The Aurora is probably about as "crazy" as I'll go:
https://www.amazon.com/Alienware-Aurora-Desktop-AWAUR6-7692SLV-Intel/dp/B077H646J4/ref=pd_sbs_147_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B077H646J4&pd_rd_r=NR68RQE037TAM81DVD9H&pd_rd_w=JzNwZ&pd_rd_wg=6stHm&psc=1&refRID=NR68RQE037TAM81DVD9H
There's the CUK model that I stumbled upon, but I don't know anything about them:
https://www.amazon.com/Sentinel-i7-8700K-Windows-Desktop-Computer/dp/B01MRT0QN0/ref=sr_1_24?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519445661&sr=1-24&refinements=p_72%3A1248879011
The Corsair One's design is very interesting, and the price-point doesn't look too bad, either:
https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Compact-Desktop-Liquid-Cooled-i7-7700/dp/B06XG7DD54
For me, I'm looking for:
- Minimal/simple (case/tower) design, ideally.
- Minimal noise (quiet, even under intense workload).
- GTX 1080/1080i+ (in an attempt to future-proof myself here).
Outside of Alienware (Aurora), CUK (Sentinel), and Corsair (One), what other models could you recommend?
