need tips and recommendations for pc build

[-Synchronicity-]

What alternatives are there to sourcing parts from all over so that I don't have to handle different warranties for each component? I read that Aftershock is not so good while Mansa Computers could be overpriced compared to elsewhere.

Invader pc

Thanks, will look it up! Is Aftershock really as bad as they say though?

I did see someone saying that he checked his PSU in their system and it was not the one he purchased.
So it is rather sus that they dont inform their customer on these changes.

Wow, could they have accidentally installed the wrong one though or was it intentional?

All prebuilt are almost the same with their pros and cons.
The best are still DIY. Good luck.

I've been comparing and invader does use better parts for pretty much the same price.

The A brand spent all their money on marketing instead of improving the parts used in their rigs and they are hoping that naive people won't notice it .

Still people buying A and any issue just throw back at A. Recently we got 1 case here what. Just throw back A and get it fixed.

Thats 1 thing good for prebuilt...just throw back as long warranty valid.....

Think there was one guy in HWZ complained about Invader becos they misplaced his PC when he sent back for repair becos his PC was bugged or something.

how much does 16GB 5060TI cost on average? might go for a 12GB 5070TI laptop and 16GB 5060TI desktop instead.

Zotac RTX 5060 TI 16gb 2 fan cost around $600 with 6.6 promo, 645 on techyard currently.

thanks. from what I gathered elsewhere online it seems like getting a 8GB GPU is just pointless in 2025, would y’all agree?
