        I'd go with the second one you posted as well, depending on the mobo you can upgrade to a faster CPU later on.

        The GPUs are basically equivalent but the 1660super might have less wear and tear on account of it being younger.

        the third one is dogshit

          It's a no-brainer, the 10400F one also has a regular motherboard instead of some proprietary Acer crap that will need a special PSU adapter cable

          found another one with same price range
          >Graphics: BIOSTAR Radeon RX560D 4GB GPU
          RAM: 16GB
          CPU: Intel Pentium Gold G6400 Dual Core 4.0GHZ LGA1200 CPU
          SSD: 256GB BIOSTAR S120 2.5" SSD
          Motherboard: Gigabyte H510M DS2V Intel LGA1200 mATX Motherboard

          This one is worse in every way yet morons will buy it because of the rgb

      Honestly none of those are amazing deals in US prices, but might be different for NZD. The 1660 super system is by far the best value though.

          Sure, what I meant was in the US that's maybe $50-60 less than building a 12100F system with new parts and buying a used RX6600/2060 off ebay. I'd imagine the selection and taxes is probably much worse in NZ though

      There's a reason people are getting rid of these <8 gen Intel cpu PC's, they can't be upgraded to Windows 11.

          Windows 10 dies in 2025, that is not long from now. Shortly after that it will be going the way of Windows 7 pretty quickly in regards to everything dropping it.

            By then Windows 12 would've come out and it it would've fixed everything that's shit about 11. Nevermind that you should be using linux anyway

      lmao have that case, was cheap like 35 bucks, it does it's job though. But if you have cats, don't get it. My cat always jumps on it because it's warm and in the process shuts down my pc always in moments of importance.

      So good that you didn't but this one is comparable to the GTX 950. Also that pentium sucks. Though it's on LGA 1200 platform so you could put something like that i5 10400f in later on.

      The only way this was better than the one you went with is that it has dual channel ram. However it has a crappy gpu and cpu. Also 256 gigs of storage is enough for the OS plus one or two modern games due to how bloated they are.

    With this or any other PC, make sure to find out what kind of PSU it has. You don't want some chinkshit PSU blowing up your mobo or GPU, and that can be a genuine problem especially with pre-built machines.

    That looks like a prebuilt with custom parts, likely going to overheat and explode on you if you try to use it to full capacity during the summer.

        The stock cooler should be fine on a 10400f, loud maybe but it shouldn’t throttle under load.

        I second the get another stick of ram and clean the dust, though dust first, ram optionally if you see some issues related to single channel memory, cpu cooler last unless the stock cooler gets too noisy.

      Good for you. Anyway the only upgrades you ever might want to do are again dual channel ram but you can delay it quite a bit. Maybe when newer games become even more ram hogs.

      The only other thing would be storage. Right now you got 500 gigs which you will know if it's enough or not. Just simply buy another SSD (or maybe a HDD if you use it for bulk storage like images and videos) once you are starting to get low on storage. But again I'm not sure how much stuff you download.

        do i just simply pull out the old ram and stick 2 new ones in? how do i know if its ddr3 ddr4 or ddr5?

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          i5 10400f is only compatible with ddr4. Now it depends on how much you want to spend. Your options are to buy another stick of ram and add it to the slot. But unless you can find the same exact one as you have, it's going to be mixed ram which can have it's issues.

          Or you can buy a kit of 2 sticks. And then just simply remove the old stick, store it or sell it. And put the two new ones in. The correct way to put those two stick would be that first stick goes to the 2nd slot and the second goes to the 4th slot.

          Elevating it will slow the dust build up. Besides that you don't want to scuff it or break the display window.
