Worth the Price?

[chickabumpbump]

Friend is buying this build for £1400

Ryzen 7 5700G
16gb Ram 512 SSD and 2TB HD
Nvidia rtx 3070ti
windows 10 home

Dont know the motherboard, im tempted to get one

Literally just paid £1,300 for a 3080, so I’d say it was an absolute bargin 🤣

Well for what the prices are now, thats not terrible, but does that price include the mother board as well? The 3070ti here sell for around a $1100 (£810) by its self, so I'd say thats about right. with the other components.

Im asking friend for a link

I'd say its worth it, Just make sure he does the warranty stuff just in case something happens to it later down the road. I really don't think you can do much better with a custom build.

The 3070ti seems to be selling for £800-900, which puts the rest of the stuff at £550-650, which with the 5700G makes it at best a break-even deal. It's not a great deal, but I've saw worse.

PC's with similar ish on Overclockers are 300 or so more

[Illusion of Progress]

If that is a complete prebuilt PC (minus peripherals) and not just the parts listed then yes it seems fair to me, at least going by pricing I was observing a while back (disclaimer that things are subject to change fast). I was seeing RTX 3060 Ti/RTX 3070 PCs for around that price in dollars, which would make that seem a bit poor of a value, but those typically had older CPUs (either Zen 2 or sometimes an Intel but a Core i5 instead) and probably less on the SSD space, plsu that's an RTX 3070 Ti instead of the standard (or RTX 3060 Ti).

I imagine that's probably 3,200 MHz RAM at most like many pre-builts with a pretty generic motherboard and PSU but I'd still say the price is alright. Better if it's 3,600 MHz RAM but I wouldn't fret over this one detail since prebuilts usually come with some compromises but still offer good value in these upside down GPU market times. It's probably the Seagate Barracuda HDD too, which is SMR if so, but it'd be alright for most games and file storage and if you won't be pushing it with large/sustained writes after it's down to a low remaining amount of space left.

If you're on something much older/weaker it seems fair to me.

Overclockers will generally sell PCs with better components, and you have more control over what's in it. The retail store chains generally sell cheaper because the parts are inferior, generic Mobo, RAM, PSU etc.

Overclockers is usually priced higher, though do have decent service, Can't comment on Costco for computer stuff. I suspect this has a low grade PSU along with slow ram since neither has any details. Last system like this I saw ended up having a tier D PSU and 2800Mhz Ram.

Not a great deal but not the worse either

According to the HP Website, the 3070 version of the same prebuilt comes with

“ HyperX® 16 GB DDR4-3200 XMP RGB MHz RAM”

So not great but not bad either.

Only HP Omen Desktops I see with Ryzen 7 CPU's are these 2

Yes the RTX 3070 option has 3200Mhz Ram....didn't check the 3080

It also has a 3700X not the 5700G in the OT and a smaller HDD so it having slower ram wouldn't be surprising.

That said, I can't find the specs in the OT or the link provided later on the HP site at all.

price is right just make sure you look over the settings in bios XMP enabled fan settings
and such then delete any bloatware,go to your start up turn off all apps not needed
update video drivers and windows.and be prepare to possibly trouble shoot a few things
and GAME AWAY !!!

and if it only has 1 stick of ram add another (very important)

[chickabumpbump]

This will be for total warhammer 3 and baldurs gate 3, I will reinstall windows with 11. I want a new pc for WH3 but don’t know what to get, I was looking at overclockers too

[emoticorpse]

I'd have to say not really worth it considering you can build something similar for almost the same exact price. Sure you have to do the work but everything would be new. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Nbv7PX.

Edit: I assumed it was used, but yeah seems worth it.
