As for monitors, it all depends on how much you have to spend. For current gaming, a good average monitor will be at least 1440p(2K) resolution and 120-144Hz refresh rate. Get the size you can afford.

Yeah, you don't have to remind me that, I seen a few of them that looks suspicious and I didn't even bother.

I just know Seasonic is pretty good and I was familiar with Gold.

I know it has a lot of cheaper components and it probably isn't very upgradeable, but it sure seems like a good price. Would the CPU be that much worse than the Ryzen 5600?

It's your decision.

But imo, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK NO!

Ya it's got some nice components in it here and there but the motherboard is more than likely some generic piece of shit and its unsing some kind of case+PSU combo that is 100% some cheap Chinese trash and its only 550W and I guarantee that the airflow on that case sucks dick.

Sometimes the hard truths are the best truths.

If you just can't wait, and you want a prebuilt that has quality components, NZXT is a solid option to consider. They even have 30xx series cards.

They say they do. But if you get far enough to actually review a build, they present you with this:

There is no other option for GPU

Yeah hard pass on pre built from my opinion. I know it's hard to wait but it will be worth it in the long run. Also of you have microcenter anywhere around you go up there in the mornings and try to get lucky

Not sure if it's real or not; went to Microcenter.com and they have the 5000 series of the AMD Ryzen listed as in stock. I'd like to upgrade from my old Phenom 2 system however you have to go to the store to buy it. I have the feeling that it's one of those ads where you show up to buy it and they say they just sold out however we have xyz in stock.
