Hey bud, Bugger!
My buddy is a budding budget gamer playing a budgie game. I wouldn't budger such a bugger on a budget.
Will this budget PC run Budget PC Simulator?
YO DAWG, WE HEARD YOU LIKE BUDGETS!
lol
Would this be able to print and send emails?
Sorry no printer included you would need to buy one
Ewww
Probably better off with one of the deals from Techfast. (eg: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ryzen-3-2200G-GTX-1060-6GB-120GB…). Ryzen3 220g is slightly faster than i5-6500. 1060 is slightly faster than 970. Smaller SSD, but a 250GB SSD is only about $50 now. 8GB of ram vs 16GB is the main drawback. The advantage is that you get a new PC, not a refurb one from 2015.
IMO this is not a good deal. This system would be worth about $500, and be a good deal closer to $400.
There have recently been very good deals on 1060/580 with intel 8400 or amd 2600 for around $700-$800, they will blow this out of the water in every metric. Even the cases will be more modern than this relic.
If you just need a functioning PC for browsing/office, wait for another of the Dell optiplex deals for ~$240.
Relic?
cries in 3570k
I was referring to just the case for that part haha
I feel ya, I built my computer with similar specs maybe 6~7 years ago now.
We budget now :(
Crazy thing is it's still not worth it to upgrade. A ryzen 2600 only gets about 8% more single-threaded performance than the 3570k, and that's at stock. My chip does 4.2ghz…
Now it not the time to buy a pc, AMD will have a major announcement at CES 2019 with the CEO Lisa Su presenting.
Even if AdoredTV rumour is half right. There will be performance uplift and more cores for dollar.
How much of a price/performance difference do you think there'll be between a 2700X and a 3700X?
4 more cores and at least 10% IPC increase depending on work load. Maybe 40 AUD cheaper due to AMD superior chiplet binning process. I could be wrong, we will find out next month.
I'm actually looking to build my first PC but the 3000 series probably won't be for sale until like March/April. Tough decision time.
I'm on a budget. Would this budget PC from BudgetPC suit my budget needs?
