So, after setting up an Akito Node with a GeForce 1660Ti for my Acer Black laptop, I became 'of want' for better gear after 3-4 years of use.
Decided to go back to a desktop.
I play mostly AC games, Rage 2, Red Dead 2 etc. RD2 seems to really pull a lot of CPU/GPU>
Anywway I was looking ay t Cyber Monday deals, came across these Skytech preibuilds, seemed to have good customer reviews. "Assembled in the USA"...
So I found they have a custom build availability. I want two SSDs on big enough for system, the other for games and working files. Pre-builds only have one.
Turns out it was more affordable to build it the way I want it, 2 SSDs, etc, no nauseous LED lights, pretty top notch hardware from my research. I am by far any sort of expert.
Actually the Mark VII series (Ryzen 7) was only about $100 over the Mark V seried (Ryzen 5).
Under $1600 shipped with taxes, more than I could have spent on some older architecture, but I think it's worth it.
I expect I'll be good to go for a while.
What do you think?...
