How relevant/compatible is the processor if I upgrade to 5070/5080? Seems like it's a locked CPU and I don't want that holding back from future upgrades
The installed processor is good enough, but you would see some worthwhile gaming gains if you upgraded to a current-generation processor from either Intel or AMD.

As far as future upgrades compatible with that socket, you're basically at the pinnacle of what that motherboard supports.

Hi Guys, im newbie's , the refurbished Is this good?, last time i bought the kind refurbished is no good. The wire of hard drive and dvd recorder is wrong position.
It must've been a long time since you bought a refurbished PC, considering CD drives haven't been standard for many, many years in PC gaming. I would not let past experiences with refurbished products stop you if you're looking for a gaming PC, considering your experience was probably from a different person/company many years ago.

Been looking at market for about a week, seems pretty bang for your buck, old parts, mostly obsolete, but good rig nonetheless

This is 5 year old technology for about 25% off the cost of what equivalent modern components would cost. If you're concerned about warranty or future update support, you're better off buying new.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I picked this up forever ago just for the 3080. The case is absolutely trash and doesn't have nearly enough cooling so I would highly recommend swapping it for something you want.

The price is okay since a 3080 alone is $400-450ish still. I know building a computer vs having one complete is always a hot topic, but this really should have a case swap with how poorly made it is.
I'd buy one if it was in the $700 range knowing how good the 3080 still is, but a little high for me personally.

I bought this exact PC from best buy about 3 years ago. I replaced the PC tower due to the horrendous airflow and little space for upgrades.
I still use the PC today.
​I got the same one (probably the same deal) for the 3080. At some point I need to swap out the tower and install my liquid cooler. Fortunately I don't do much gaming, but when the computer does more than some basic amount of processing, a lot of times it'll just completely power down if the side of the case is on. I've been leaving it off for the last year or so.

Generally if you want to upgrade intel has a terrible track record. I would go with am5 platform from amd if you have any interest in upgrading later. You can get a 7xxx system and upgrade for probably years to come.

Does this use only standard parts and you just need to buy a new case to do a case swap?

Terrible track record?

The 12th, 13th, and 14th gen were all supported by one chipset.

AMD only hangs on a year or two longer. And in that time, you lose out on updated features.

I recommended this to a friend, and he went ahead and bought it. He was frustrated because he couldn't install a DVD drive. I didn't believe, but when I opened it up to take a look, I was puzzled as well—there was no place to install a CD/DVD drive. Didn't know that's a thing nowadays, but keep that in mind, it has a lot of space for HDD, etc, but no opening for CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive installation
They don't want you to have cd, dvd or blu-ray media. This way they can control what you think you own. And take it away when they want to because you really don't own it.

If it matters to you - the CPU socket is previous generation which means you cannot upgrade the CPU to 12/13/14 generation.

This cpu is nowhere near bottlenecking a 3080.. you're going to see negligible gains. This has 8 hyperthreaded cores that can go up to 5 GHz , that's plenty for a 3080...

DDR5 and USB4 were both early to Intel's refresh.

So was PCIe Gen 5.
