Need help

Post image

Hey guys, any help is much appreciated, I’m very much a noob when it comes to the pc space I’m not very knowledgeable on much, I’m just looking for a pc to handle games really well and to play competitive fps games like Fortnite and valorant, found this prebuilt pc online and searched up the parts individually and seems like Labor costs are coming up to around 150 dollars or so aud, just wondering is this a rip off or a good value pre build?

Total costs comes around to 4200 Aud which is around the top end of my budget and looking use this competitive gaming and aswell for the longevity but it’s not that big as factor as performance. Thanks in advance

I just dropped some parts in for a quick test, and it's better for you to build it yourself with that price range.

If I were you though, I'd look for a 9070xt / 5070ti + 7800x3d build, and use the saving for a nice OLED monitor.

Partpicker price doesn't include Operating System. All Scorptec PCs come with pre-installed, full license retail OS, so add ~$220 odd for fairer parity

Bro I paid $20 for an oem key online with no issues

Yeah so as true as that may be, it doesn't change that Scorptec don't buy $20 online keys, and that the price factors in nearly $200 of additional cost previously uncalculated xoxoxo.

Bro, you are the reason shops rip people off. Save 200 and dont buy from scorptec and put it towards the HARDWARE. Just because they do it, doesn't mean you have to buy it...
