Seems overpriced for 11th gen and a pizza oven.

I had this exact case. Airflow was pitiful. It was returned and I built my own. No regrets.

Sorry, but you're not pricing this out correctly. You may have spent the MSRP, but not the sale price.

Median MSRP on the card they're actually using is $370.

That leaves $379 for a full ATX board with WiFi built in, the i5, 16GB of RAM, a 500W Bronze Plus PSU, full ATX case, a 512GB NVME (likely Samsung OEM model), and a Windows license.

We could itemize all this, but let's just look at the standard price for a Windows license: $139.

Or how about the 11400F? $169

And for $100 more, you get an i7 and a 1TB NVME? Sounds like a deal to me.

Let's see what your build looks like itemized. Be sure to include how long you waited to piece it together if you were holding out for deals on each component.

I think the reason you've been received negatively is that you didn't answer the question correctly and came off like a total tool at the same time.

You weren't asked to list your personal build specs, you were being asked to list a build that competes with the posted deal PC. That doesn't mean something with a 3090ti in it, a GPU alone that was more than double the cost of this entire PC.

Saying things like, "juggernaut of a PC that only the 1% aren't jealous of" and talking about running three GPUs in your PC to mine crypto were the tool parts.

Lastly, you topped it off with saying you're happy with a 34" 1440p monitor, which most agree is a poor size to resolution ratio, and it doesn't make sense to build a 3090ti to PC to play at 1440p. Leading to a lot of doubt as to the validity of your build to beging with, or at least quality of your advice (but that's a side point).

Not trying to argue with you, just want to shed some light on why you are being chastised.

3-6 months ago these were going for $1100-1400 - according to camel cubed.

I'll bite when they hit around $600 or so.

Agreed. People need to keep in mind that now that you can get a 3060 for close to MSRP (or the much better 6700xt for $350-370).

I've never heard this. Apex runs completely fine on amd cards. Radeon R9 is even one of the recommended spec cards https://www.ea.com/games/apex-leg...quirements

AMD and Nvidia both sponsor "major" games. You sound like a complete Nvidia fanboy if you believe "most" major games are made for Nvidia cards.

This is incorrect. Games on the windows platform will work with any GPU vendor's cards. This is why Intel's newly created GPU lineup works with every game that uses an API that Intel has support for. Ultimately it's the API's that translates graphic commands from the game to lower level commands the GPU drivers can utilize.

Of course you can google something like 6900 XT Apex to see it runs just fine.

That should go without saying, PC would have never become popular as a platform if games only worked on certain GPU brands, especially given that GPU manufacturers have come and gone. No one wants to be locked in to a specific brand either, that defeats the purpose of getting a PC in the first place, which is choice.

You're blaming AMD for the studio having a trash game? Lmfao

Have fun in 6th grade, tomorrow.
AMD and Nvidia are constantly fixing dev bugs in drivers. That already shouldn't be a thing. And they can't fix fundamentally broken shit.

And I did check the reports. Every game update continues to make crashing worse. Congratulations, you play trash.

Who pays more than $20 (or anything) for a windows license? Lmao.

Sure, you want my buildsheet? I'll happily provide it. But it's irrelevant because this is a kid's Easy Bake oven, and mine is a liquid-cooled juggernaut only the 1% aren't jealous of. Apple to an orange.

This PC, the Dell XPS 8940, and the HP Omen 30L were all the mistakes I made getting to where I am. Never again will HP or Dell be on my list (maybe except Dell gaming monitors).
I'm on my 4th and final PC build for a very long time. I wish I could say the same for a monitor. 10th different one...and still counting. Can't find anything without serious issues. I've been all the way up to a G9 and back. Very happy at 34" 1440p, but can't find one worth a crap.

Corsair needs to hurry up and release the Xeneon Flex already.

Here's what I built:

Corsair 7000D Airflow
MSI Z690 Tomahawk
i7-12700K
EVGA 3090TI Hybrid (The final swan song of a legend)
64GB DDR4 3600
H170i 420mm Elite LCD cooler
EVGA 1600T2
Corsair ML140 RGB Elites throughout
When first built, it also had a 3090 and two 3060TIs in it too (all non-LHR, RIP Ethereum mining), but those are now removed.

As someone who went from buying an Alienware gaming PC over 20 years ago, to building every PC being used at home, work, and by friends and family I highly recommend giving PC building a go before buying a prebuilt like this. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with buying a prebuilt PC if that's what works for you.

As for this particular unit I'd pass at the moment. There will be better deals in the next 2-3 weeks.
