Prebuilt PC within 1.1k budget

[Asdftyu]

Hello all, new to HWZ.. but need your help.

I have a dead 3YO aftershock PC (damaged GPU).
Which one out of the 2 pc I’ve shortlisted, which one will will you guys purchase for daily gaming/ normal usage?
I usually game in low settings at 1440P (Overwatch, stardew, farm simulator, dinkum)

Will you also swap out any of the parts (like PSU? Cos seems like this PSU not A tier based on google reviews) for a better brand?

damaged GPU, why dont just buy new gpu & replace

i also agree, best to just swap gpu as it will be much cheaper.

Polygon PC - $1,099 (this comes with free windows!)

where did u find this config on their website? i highly doubt it will be activated windows, and invader has unactivated windows on their builds too. the build by invader is also cheap enough that even with a retail windows key, it will still be cheaper while having double the storage (both builds are quite similar otherwise).

Cos I Would prefer to get a new one with warranty so they could help with troubleshooting if anything happens… and if I were to buy a new GPU, it will cost like 400-500$ and might not be 100% fixed.

For Polygon, found this on their carousell page. Thought it’s a good deal. But looking at your reply seems like invader is a better choice haha. Thank you!! Then I’ll most probably get the invader then. Thank you for your reply

i took a look at their listing, u didnt say they were running a free upgrade to 32gb of ram. and i was wrong about it being unactivated windows, they actually do provide an activated copy of windows (though which version was not stated). these do help their value proposition quite a bit; speccing the invaderpc to 32gb of ram and having activated windows 11 home makes it cost basically the same as polygonpc, though it still does have the storage advantage.

Wah , $885 can get a Ryzen 5600 + 4060 system . The GPU itself already cost $455 if buy alone , quite cheap indeed

Yes, for someone like you and me would prefer DIY, we can really build it at a lower cost because we don't mind DIY all the part ourselves handling any part problems or also RMA issues

However, it appears that TS would rather get a new one with 3 yrs guarantee or so.
so that whoever he purchases from may assist with troubleshooting in the event that his new PC breaks down within the warranty period.he prefer that way than hands on

Thank you for helping to compare. I’ll take your advice to get from Invader since they are about the same but with storage advantage. Thank you so much!
