I'm lame and will buy a new prebuilt PC with one of these. Prices are all over the place- seeing builds for as low as $2000 and as high as $3000+. ![dizzy :dizzy](http://www.thebore.com/forum/Smileys/default/dizzy.gif)
Yeah because you are getting ripped off
Dont buy prebuilt man you are getting screwed
I got a pretty good deal on the desktop PC I got back in 2016- I remember people here saying it was marked up by maybe $200 over buying everything yourself and it is an absolute monster. It came from Amazon Prime, so I got it with free shipping in 1-2 days and could have returned it no questions asked if I decided to go another route. Plus it had a nice warranty (included for free) that I wound up using and was glad it was there. It's in a small case and there's no way in hell I would have been able to cram everything it has in there that well/cleanly- it's thicker than a game console, but takes up less space than say, a PS4 does- the graphics card inside is like half the case!
I know you're a rich-bitch weeb, but seriously: This was your first mistake. This is as bad as Tiesto buying a "gaming laptop," that shit is overpriced and depreciates quickly.
You'd get the same shit buying the parts yourself for much cheaper.
The last time I messed around with upgrading a PC, I killed it.

I mean, I've taken them apart and put them back together before, but that incident just kinda scared me away from DIY. If it wasn't for 'rona, there is someone I could work with to make sure it's done right though.
Going desktop means more power for a lower price and it's going to last longer, but if you'd prefer to have or just need a laptop, there's nothing wrong with that either. I'm sure what Tiesto bought will last him for quite a while. The laptop I have with a 1060 is still a beast for anything 1080P. I only now just got a 1440P monitor and this desktop with its 1070 is handling everything great, so I'm no rush to upgrade. I stopped looking at what was for sale because it's so tempting.

Probably the most tempting thing of all right now would be to get a 3080 and pop it into an external GPU case, then use it with my GPD Win Max via thunderbolt 3. Would be pretty funny to see such a monster card hooked up to such a small laptop, lol.
