If I buy this prebuilt PC for $1500, how many years will it last until I need to upgrade? And when I do upgrade, will it be simply plugging in a new graphics card?

Build one yourself

Need more storage space, 1TB won't cut it. Get a second drive, 4 to 6tb for storage. 32gb of RAM would be better.

10+ years, if you're content with gradually lowering settings

>And when I do upgrade, will it be simply plugging in a new graphics card?
Possibly, though connection standards change and make your motherboard deprecated.

If you get a prebuild, you're likely to be sold an absolute shit power supply, motherboard etc, since prebuilt manufacturers fully expect people to ignore anything but CPU/GPU.

who the fuck can know the future. except time travelers. but they haven't arrested any lottery winners, so i don't think it's invented yet in the future

lol a $500 is gonna be faster than that by end of year

>shit power supply
Expensive power supplies are a meme, either it has sufficient power draw for the composite parts of the PC, or it doesn't.

>32gb of RAM would be better
Waste of money if you're not using it for heavy 3D rendering.

If any PC part breaks, you can just replace it.
If power supply breaks, you risk bricking the whole machine.
That's why you only get certified shit.

Incorrect, CPU and memory improvements have barely shifted for the last 5+ years.

2 years

If it lasts a long time, it's not necessarily a good thing. It means developers stopped making games look better, probably due to consoles not keeping up.
Or no competition, like how Incel had been releasing cpus that were pretty much the exact same as the last model

>how many years will it last
It will last you 3 days.
Once you finish installing everything and downloading everything you'll be then fucked over by blue screens every 10minutes of game time.
Then it will take you weeks for a replacement and the same shit will happen.
Enjoy your cycle into you give up and just talk about how powerful it was and that's the only thing you can brag about at that point.

Only do this if you're a super serious hardcore gamer. I'm not being ironic, if you aren't super serious about this, you'll just be wasting money. You only need 2 Terabytes unless you insist on keeping all your games installed.

The build should last a good 3-4 years before you NEED to upgrade it.

Let him smell the burning PSU, then he will learn.

He's not using an AMD GPU though

any absolute retards saying he's gonna get cheap parts, you clearly don't recognize the website he's on.
Those people make EXCELLENT prebuilt PCs. that PC will have all top-tier parts and it will work perfectly out of the box. That company was specifically founded in response to your complaints.
Sorry OP, you type "prebuilt" on Yas Forums and you get the same preprogrammed responses

you get what you pay for, dont act surprise when that cheap power supply suddenly start burning

see
NZXT doesn't cheap out on power supplies

I am not a clever man. the point is, I don't have to be, and it costs a couple days salary. The "build it yourself" meme is for people who don't have jobs.

>$1500
Jesus Christ, you're supposed to pay maybe 200 on top for assembly and support, not fucking double it.

for 4k/30, 1440p/60, 1080p/60 easily 5+ years

I dont' know faggot I can't predict the future
but looking at next generation console specs and at technology in general I'm seeing a slowdown in both processing and graphics power

like pretty much very little has change in the last 5 years so your compooter will be fine for a good long while unless you want 4k in which case I don't know go fuck yourself

the difference between the 2080/2070 is like 4-5 FPS but ok

My computer is made of literal trash and it takes me like 20 minutes to tear it down and put it back together. You're too dumb to play with adult legos.

That's not true and even if it was true that's not the point retard.

A build with a 2070 super can be created for $1200 so he's overpaying regardless.

>have to replace my entire motherboard for a new cpu
what a pain in the ass

I spent a week trying to build my first computer and I did everything perfectly and nothing went wrong and I absolutely deserved to sit down and play video games but something went wrong and I couldn't get it to work so I had to troubleshoot for literally weeks, even ended up taking it to a shop and they still couldn't fix it, so 5 years later I scrapped the entire thing and built a prebuild.
I did fucking everything right. Absolutely nothing went wrong, and it didn't fucking work. I will never stop being angry about it and I'm never doing that again.

You wouldn't want to keep using an old standard with less "features", right?

What makes it dumb is he could probably buy the parts himself, higher quality or even better parts, and have a local shop assemble it for less than $100.

This is the only bad thing with PC gaming and honestly enough to make me want to not want to upgrade. Why should I spend £400 on a Mobo+cpu when I can just save for the next xbox and get more of an upgrade.

>1TB won't cut it. Get a second drive, 4 to 6tb for storage
This is retarded. You don't need a lot of storage unless you're trying to install your entire Steam library or download a shitload of movies.

>The "build it yourself" meme is for people who don't have jobs.
kek. it takes half an hour unless you are a complete retard
I mean you can pay for anything you want like women pay for other women to paint their nails I don't know why
retards get suckered into paying for all kinds of shit they shouldn't be paying and you're clearly a retard so do your thing I suppose sure pay someone do plug in cables for you because you are too STUPID to do it yourself

wait until consoles are released and buy pc after that then you do not need to worry about the whole cyclus

>a local shop
user...do you live under a rock?

>"build it yourself" meme
considering it a hassle or just being inept to do it is one thing, but a meme? do you even know what meme means?
what the fuck

I regret the fuck out of buying a 6600k and not waiting for ryzen. At least I got it for a killer price, it's the only reason I didn't wait.

Damn. OP will never recover from this.

>4-5 FPS difference
That heavily depends on the game.

>it takes half an hour
I'm pro PC building, but this is a lie. That's how long it takes someone who does it for a living, maybe, if you're okay with spaghetti everywhere.

Pretty good specs, you should get an SSD with that price range though. Either way wait untill the next gen of consoles are out and Nvidia steps thier game up to compete

I need to upgrade soon and this is what makes me just want to chuck my whole PC out and get a new one

well for one, a gpu upgrade is a much better choice for just gaming
also, choosing a no upgrade path cpu is your choice and fault, more now than ever

I live in a pretty rural area, and theres a PC repair shop like fifteen minutes from me. So maybe I do, or maybe you're under the rock.

nigga you just plug some cables in and bolt some screws there's nothing special about it you're not sculpting a statue or performing surgery motherfucker it's straightforward just plug the thing into the other thing that looks like it fits there

holy shit you really live under a fucking rock jesus Christ what a dumbass.
REPAIR SHOPS ARE CLOSED RETARD. GLOBALLY. EVERYWHERE.

poor raytracing performance. probably deprecated when the new consoles release. the rest is sufficient for the upcoming console gen.

Literally all CPUs have no upgrade path these days you fucking jewish shill cuck.

I did that, it took me 5 hours to do while watching a tutorial, and then it didn't work. I even took it to a shop and they couldn't get it to work either. One of the 50 fucking parts I bought broke apparently, but not even a repair shop could figure out which one, so I ended up scrapping the entire PC. 1000 bucks down the drain, fucking "legos" MY ASS.

Ah, I didn't see what you meant. My place is open, though. Maybe your rock is just in a shitty area.

buying a PC now when next gen consoles roflstomp this specs and also have much better optimization. Do you want to play games with 720p user? wait for navi and purchase console specs +20-30% if you want to have similar experience.

few days ago i made a huge thread with this image and i got a few datys ban. I tried to warn clownms like OP, but it was useless

just build it yourself and save a couple hundred

This has to be bait. A repair shop couldn't figure out which part was broken? Are you retarded?

I mean, installing and configuring Windows takes like 10 minutes minimum itself. Cable management is easily 15 minutes or more, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and most of the PSUs I've used weren't modular.

this only happened to you because you're retarded or very very unlucky
just literally plug everything to into the motherboard and give everything power that's ALL there is to it jfc

Wait until the new console gen is released unless you don't want your computer to be able to handle new console ports

5-10% would be enough for a similar experience, but it's worth it to go for more for better fidelity and frames.

You are paying about 300 dollars more than what that shit really costs.

-2years that piece of shit its already outdated

not unless you don't have and SSD and are typic veryyyyy veeeeeeryyyyy slooooowwwwly and like reading the text that says "do you want microsoft to spy on you" very slowly and wondering "what does this mean I don't know should I check the box oooor?" windows is literally brain-dead to install these days

why are you lying on the internet

>dude...JUST build a plane.

>just literally plug everything to into the frame and give everything power that's ALL there is to it jfc

he's not lying I remember the thread this brainlet made where he was crying about it a couple of days ago he's for real

Yeah, nah, you're full of it mate. Even on SSD the install alone is like five minutes.

>no os

Are you saying that Intel 660p is not an SSD? What.

If this isn't bait, you're literally mentally retarded.

I took it to a repair shop and they couldn't repair it, yes.
I actually used the PC for 5 years after I built it, in it's broken state. What was broken about it was the operating system itself, which would remain broken even after reinstalling entirely. Windows refused to perform any upgrades to it's system whatsoever. No system upgrades, no basic functions like NET framework updates, nothing. The PC would not update from the the day I got it. The PC shop could not figure out what to do, at all. They tried everything, I tried everything. No matter what anyone did, this PC refused to perform any updates until the day I tore it apart for scraps. I did everything I possibly could to fix it. Spend literally years every now and then trying something new. I spent literally years working on that PC and it never updated.
Bought a prebuilt last year, been smooth sailing ever since. It was like a dream. All that PTSD, all that horror, all those sleepless nights thinking "WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?"
I still don't know why. It just DIDNT. FUCKING. WORK.
I'll never build a PC ever again

>pcpartpicker.com/list/fbPKk6

where is the shipping and cables and tools?

>paying for W10 when you can get it for free from M$ themselves

>Expensive power supplies are a meme
Right..., so plugging a cheap chinese unbranded 500w psu into my mobo with a ryzen 5 and rtx 2070 will be totally fine and probably totally won't result in a house fire or dead components in the future...

>3700x
>2070S

How about not being a retard by paying twice for marginally more more performance? 3600 and 5600, or 5700. Anything above these is absolutely horrendous value.

>Ryzen
It's gonna be shit in 3 years.

>paying for windows
you can legit download windows from microsoft and use it unlicensed problem free
this board is retarded when it comes to tech
