Is this pc any good?

I'm trying to update most of my pc but the cost just keeps going up.

Is this pc any good? How long would it last?

Delete you question and ask it here --> Operating Systems and Hardware discussions

Include your PC specs and budget to get the most responses.

The system in itself is decent but the price is laughable.
MASSIVELY overpriced. 300-400 pounds less and it would be a "maybe".

[Cathulhu]

Also, it needs a bigger SSD.
Not sure why you deleted your other thread earlier.

Never buy a system from there costs waaayyyy to much.

If you want a system already built try https://www.overclockers.co.uk/
they build based on specs you ask for with a warranty and it'd be cheaper than currys/pcworld. Plus Overclockers staff have a clue. currys and PCworld don't. It took them years to start listing monitor refresh rates after I asked about it on some monitors they had on sale. Other examples include selling systems and laptops with enough ram to run the OS and nothing else requiring buyers to add more ram.

I could go on with more examples but you should get the idea.

Oh and plenty of user here will happily spec you a system to build yourself or have Overclockers or another retailer build it for you if you provide a budget and say what you intend to use the system for.

A problem is that the descriptions of the parts aren't detailed enough. Usually budget parts are used in prebuilts. So it would be a risky buy even if the price was ok.

The SSD is too small really (at least double it), no idea what spec the RAM is and the graphics card is low end of the current tier, which isn't bad, but it's far from a highly desirable card on today's current systems.

Seems kind of overpriced.

Do you already own a system that you could upgrade.

Like if you had a pc case, some hard drives, a decent PSU, case fans etc, you could buy a motherboard, processor, ram and depending on current gpu, maybe upgrade that in 6 - 12 months.

I mean I think you're pretty heavily biased on the GPU end. The 2060 is a midrange card and I'd go so far to say based on https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam also provides some perspective, most people are running much weaker hardware.

Intel CPU's aren't all that sensitive to RAM speeds. Yeah, the SSD is too small, but that's pretty common I feel like. A. A lot of people still aren't sold on the premium for large SSDs even given the relatively low prices. B. SSDs being included in (midrange and lower) OEM builds is still relatively new. C. The reality is people buy more systems in lower price brackets. So some nicer hardware would be preferable, but it would raise the price and fewer people would buy it either because it exceeds their budget or they just don't value those improved hardware choices like you do.

Never seen a prebuilt system someone couldn't grumble over the price about. If you're buying a prebuilt system you're invariably going to be paying a premium for not having to acquire and assemble the parts yourself, you're paying for the convenience of someone else doing it. But sure, if you shop around you can always find something that's priced just a smidge better too.

I'm not saying the 2060 is bad at all, but what is lower in nvidias current range? It's not mid or high end of current generation is what I'm saying, and the OP might not know where it lies in the current generation. That's all. Not saying anything bad about that card. It could overall be considered a mid range card, lowest of the RTX 20 series.

I've just upgraded pretty much all of my system (except harvesting a 4tb mech drive for storage and a GTX 970, which is old I know but holds up fine for a few more months) to a 3700x / x570 Aorus Master and I'm using a lesser card than the 2060, without issue.

As for price, if the OP isn't against building a system, then he/ she will get better tech for price - this is why I ask if there is a current base they could build upon.

You claimed it was low end, and low end has some pretty negative connotations. So when you're saying "I'm not saying the 2060 is bad at all" can you see how that doesn't match up?

The 1660 and 1650 cards are all slower. Although I am expecting you to argue that they're separate lines and the 2060 is the lowest end RTX card is what you mean... in that case I would argue it was unfortunate you didn't qualify your statements properly.

I am sticking to traditional performance and am not putting everything on RTX performance or inclusion as a feature. I'm also not going to pretend RTX and GTX cards can't be compared when ray tracing isn't in question, which is most of the time... the 1600 cards are the entry level cards...

It's debatable you understand this yourself. But opinions are subjective, even mine. I'm just thinking if you're thinking a $300 - $400 GPU that can run most games at 1080p at max settings and is passable for 1440p, is low end... my opinion is you've got a funny perspective.

[r.linder]

That's not a good price, you can get better for the same price by building it yourself

[_I_]

at that price you can get the 9700k, clc with the rtx 2060

Ok Brock, sorry for offending your 2060...

OP asked was it any good and my first comment couldn't have been clearer. I said "[2060] graphics card is low end of the current tier". This is true, it's the lowest 20xx.

I also said "which isn't bad, but it's far from a highly desirable card on today's current systems", which is generally also considered to be true.

As for desirability, people don't desire a 2060, they might buy one (and that's fine, its current gen entry level, nothing more), but more likely they desire a 2080 or Super or Ti.

I'm not going to reply to you here again (your derailing the thread unnecessarily) - you're acting like I called it a low end card and I didn't - I said clearly - it was low end of current 20 series cards.

[iGotHacked]

It depends on what kind of games you would like to play. The rtx 2060 compared with the intel core i7 should allow you to play most games on max graphics. I am pretty sure it will last for at least 4-5 years. If you are only playing games like cs go and league it is maybe even a little overkill. I hope it helped!

Buying pre-built from a high street retailer these days is not the best idea. You could probably do much better buying the parts yourself or seeking out specialists such as the above mentioned Overclockers and also Chillblast. There are also quite a few others you can find dotted around the UK who do their own builds or can custom build for you.

No disrespect to Currys, I have had a few TV's and toasters from them over the years but their knowledge and range of PC stuff is awful so they don't deserve your custom. It would be like buying fine wine from Tesco that's heavily marked up in line with the wine specialists; it makes no sense.

Well my motherboard is a GA-990XA-UD3 with a amd 6100 6 core. I have 8 gigs of wam and a 500gb hard drive.
