Thanks to Bitcoin mining, it's $700+ just for a video card these days.

700$ isn't even a GPU.

Pre-builts are overpriced

because of mining right now it's cheaper to buy a pre-built than build it yourself in most cases.

I just went to origin pc and put together a midrange system with a GTX 1060, Ryzen 5 1600x and 15GB of RAM and it came to an astounding $1500. Yes, they're overpriced.

@TC right now, with $700, there's pretty much nothing you can do

Wait for the GPU prices to normalize. No idea how long it'll take... Maybe you can luck out and find some at a normal price in a brick and mortar store.

wait until theres another crash in crytpo because miners panic sell their gpus.

but if you dont care about waiting....check this out:

A GTX 1060 should run most games fine. double check on google: gtx 1060 benchmark

Don't do that. That's not a pre-built.

Yea, not really a good time to get a new PC

Personally going to wait for these to happen before I go for a new build

-New line of Nvidia cards, hopefully for a reasonable price
-New Intel CPU that isn't gimped with the meltdown and spectre bugs

Would also like to see but probably not going to happen soon
-32 GB RAM for $200 or less
-1 TB SSD for $200 or less

this is already here or close to it.

regular SATA versions anyway.

The m.2 SATA / m.2 nvme are much more expensive.

I took the prebuilt plunge and got an $800 CyberPower build and it's been really good. Granted, I got it on sale and it was normally an $1100 PC.

Minimal bloatware, Ryzen, decent video card.

I can play PUBG on High. Which says something, considering the game is terribly optimized.

TC, watch Newegg and look for something on sale. The games you want to play you should have no problem finding a PC that crushes what you are doing. Even if paying full price.

Here. It's $750 so it's a little over budget and the 1050 is really meh but it'll play all those games better than consoles will (for the ones that have console versions)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230219&ignorebbr=1

You might have to turn things down a bit if you want locked 60FPS.

just wait for GPU prices to go down or nvidia to release a new series

if you must get a prebuilt look for a 1050ti GPU, it's cheap and not that great but still 3x better than consoles

That PC has the benefit of being new, with a warranty, and more room for upgradability with AMD already announcing socket support through to Ryzen gen 3 iirc. But if you're strictly looking for bang for buck you can get one of these for $200 https://www.amazon.com/HP-Quad-Core-Windows-10-Refurbished/dp/B01CV9G1BO then throw in a low profile version of the 1050 for under $150 and be able to play those games you mentioned pretty much exactly the same as that $750 PC for less than half the price. Or you could even throw in a 1050 Ti low profile version if you can find one for better performance. But you'd be pretty locked in terms of future upgradability.
