Hey guys, I just want some recommendations of where I can buy a Gaming Computer for under $3000.
I would preferably want a 12th gen CPU and at least a 3070 so it's at least a bit future proof. I won't mind if it has DDR4 as long as I have the option to upgrade to DDR5 in my own time. and RGB is always appreciated,
sad
There may be boards out there that have DDR4 and 5 DIMM slots, but you'll only be able to use one at a time - and it will take up valuable space on the motherboard that could otherwise be used for other things, and those boards are not likely to be cheap either.
Won't get a 3070 in a system for under $3k :/
Ok, I lied, https://techfast.com.au/products/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X-RTX-3070-…
BPC tech have some options. I’d go there over techfast.
You can shave a few hundred and opt for a 3060TI instead. You're still future-proofed with it.
You'll have trouble finding 12th gen Intel prebuilts at this stage. Very unlikely to find one with a 3070 under $3000.
You can find some 3070 or better prebuilts with older CPUs for under $3000, see some desktop deals posted on ozbargain
Welcome newbie. To save you time search oz bargain as this sort of question gets asked allot along with people asking about gaming PC's.
You wont find a board that can do DDR4 and 5, they are mechanically and electrically incompatible.
