The seller has a 99.4% rating with 63,195 feedbacks......so I don't think it gets more legit for ebay.

lol, what reality do some of you commenting on PC deals live in? A 3060 alone still goes for $200-250 on sale but you expect to find it in a PC that's $379 "at most"? Technology depreciates fast but as fast as some of y'all seem to think.

Gotta love the original MSRP of $1500..

This is not terrible if you dont want to build yourself a budget 1080p budget gaming PC. I recently built a i3 13100F + RX 6600 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD for not much more than this PC with much better performance imo.

There is no way any of these, even brand new, would go for $1500. Not saying they're bad or that this isn't a deal, but that seems like a total marketing technique.

Quote from Kairi :
Did some research on the Intel, Asus G10CE-SB564.

Sounds like it's really loud and can overheat. No go for me, since I do video rendering.
Probably why these are refurbs (customer returns)

The reviews are from Sam's Club website of the product:
https://www.samsclub.com/p/asus-r.../P03000614
You probably shouldn't gauge reliability or quality based on Sam's Club reviews.

Yes, prebuilts are supposed to be plug and play, but even modern game consoles (which are closer to resembling PCs than ever before) require a level of upkeep and a general understanding that they can overheat without proper ventilation. They also aren't as quiet as previous generations of consoles, so the same consideration must be made for gaming PCs in some cases.

From the reviews I skimmed, you can tell many of them aren't up on this knowledge and a few are just spewing nonsense. One review mentions using software that simply provides a summary of the PC's components to "diagnose" that the processor is faulty based on the model number. You mean, the thing that was posted on the box when you bought it?

The case is clearly not the best in terms of airflow, but it also doesn't look like they installed any intake fans despite there being room for some.

For all we know, part of the refurbishment process corrected any thermal issues. Or, you can simply pick up a $12 fan and fix it yourself.

As for the noise, the 1660Ti just isn't a quiet card. You can play with the fan ramp using Afterburner, but you'll definitely need that intake fan if you want it quieter under load.

Just picked up the last Asus ROG with Ryzen 3600 and 5700xt for $399 which I think is pretty solid. Just look on their ebay profile and see if you can find any other deals.

You can't cherrypick a single passmark score and ignore everything else. Passmark will actually fully utilize all 16 threads. 99% games will not. Although the performance of these two CPUs are close, the 9700k will actually outperform the 3700x in most Windows workloads... including gaming.

I'm an AMD guy but unless you're getting AMD X3D chips, Intel is still king at gaming and single threaded performance.

Anyone know if the $379 one has a usb-c port?

I bought a similar setup (had a 3060 instead) from this seller in Dec of 2022 for around $550. I thought it was a steal. Basically looked and operated as if it was new. 10 months later after daily moderate use, still no issues.

This is one of the slickest deals I've ever seen!

Is what I'd say if this was 2020.
Today though? Meh.

As someone who doesn't need a gaming PC but has most of the free games from Epic giveaways and game pass ultimate, would this do good enough to play those games at a decent quality?

Im not looking for Starfield in 4k at 120fps, just something to fill the time.

Quote from HansGruber :
Not a good deal. If it had a 3060 or 3060ti, then yes for the $379 price at most. 1660Ti is a 1660 Super in reality and those are not going to cut in 2023/2024.
The current gen GPU market is complete trash right now.

A gtx 1660 ti will give you a decent 1080p gaming rig at a massive fraction of the cost of the current gen GPUs and hardware.

e.g. pay $350-$400 for a 11th gen i5 + gtx 1660 ti that will let you play most games available on PC in 1080p 30-60fps (while also doubling up as a solid multifunctional desktop PC), or pay $800-$1000 for a current gen chipset and GPU that may give you only a 30-40% performance increase?

you start to pay a massive premium for small improvements on anything beyond this in today's market IMO and don't start to see any real *serious* improvement until you jump to the highest end RTX 4000 series GPUs which cost $1.5K for the GPU alone.
