buy computer?

It says no windows is included. What does that mean exactly and how much is that by itself?

windows cost like 100 dollars or so, its just like microsoft, powerpoint/word etc if im not wrong.. It's not a big deal if your only going to use it for aoe3, I dont have windows on my gaming comp, but I have a school comp with windows for my school work, hope I helped :)
Re: buy computer?
I have never bought Windows in my life. Torrent it, the latest x64 version came out a few days ago.
Re: buy computer?
Windows is 110 euros. By the way, I'm pretty sure you can find better comps than that for 900$...

Re: buy computer?
Don't buy that lol. That's an awful deal. A 6600k, 470 and 8 gb of ram for what's going to be 1k if you buy Windows 10 from Microsoft? That's a ripoff lol

Shameless plugs to: Reddit.com/r/buildapc and Reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards
Generally speaking, you should be able to maximize cost efficiency and performance by buying the individual parts of a pc and assembling it yourself. There are many many resources out there to do so and with sufficient research, is entirely reasonable to do so. For instance pcpartpicker has a compatibility function (do all your parts work together?) and recommended build presets. Of course you run the risk of screwing something up when assembling, but proper tutorials should negate this and mindfulness to regulrly discharge built up static electricity.
Building your own pc also bypasses the fact that many prebuilts oversell in areas that are falsely needed (I.e. a processor that is disproportionally better than its surrounding components) and undersells other areas (I.e. Lower graphics card or no SSD).
The second half of this is a mechanical keyboard which is another beast of its own. Now I suppose this isn't for everyone, but I can imagine a keyboard that comes with a pc/monitor bundle may not be of a particular quality. There are many mechinals out there for under or around $100 that are simply beautiful machines. Mechanicals have a variety of switches on them (namely the various cherry mx switches) that must be researched to find your preferred kind.
A monitor is buy and large a monitor.
Of course there is always some ratio of research:time:cost:convienence that differs for each person in matters like these but I took the above route and really don't regret it one bit and learned a lot!
For reference: my pc (excluding monitor, keyboard, and mouse) ran me ~$1k when I built t two years ago and I can play new AAA games on max graphics like fallout 4. The specs are in my twitch channel info my thumbs are getting awfully tired typing all this on my phone. I'm sure the prices for the same computer have depreciated since then seeing how fast the pc specs industry moves and how quickly parts can become obsolete.

Re: buy computer?
Definitely don't buy those computers, seems like poor deals and I don't even know about the quality.
I can get Windows for very cheap (like 5 dollars) because I'm a student. Maybe there are deals for you as well, if you are studying.

For 1000 u can get a 6600k and a GTX 1070. It will poop on any iBuyPower PC for that price.

Re: buy computer?
Yeah that's pretty much what I said but in a lot less wurds ^
Re: buy computer?
That Psu is still bad. A i5/6500 and a gtx 1070 configuration would need 300 Watt at max with all peripheire included. Get a decent BQ SP 10 400 Watt.

Re: buy computer?
^^ because a Corsair RM750X is worse than a 300W PSU yes. Never go for a cheap PSU u will regret it. Amperage is essential for a Power Supply. You don't buy a cheap case for an iPhone, so why buy a cheap power supply for a computer?

Re: buy computer?
Don't buy from ibuypower or cyberpower. From what i've heard, they use cheap low quality parts and have poor customer service. If you are going prebuilt, then buy from a company that has good customer service reviews, as those companies usually burn-in test your PC (Accelerated CPU/GPU Testing to make sure it works). The new alienwares are pretty good, if you want those. The aurora R5 has a deal right now for $1200 you get core i7 16gb ram, a gtx 1070, and a decent psu (also, windows 10). Getting a overclocked PC these days is silly, because out of box speeds are pretty good, and can crash many of the newest games (Lazy Developers, poor optimization, etc).

That is the Point A be quiet straight Power is top notch and a lot bettet than a rx for sure..
Re: buy computer?
Well the difference between an unlocked processor(6600 vs 660k or 6700 vs 6700k for example) is like 10-20 bucks in most cases so I think its fine getting a processor with overclocking ability just in case you might want to do it down the roadnoissance wrote:Don't buy from ibuypower or cyberpower.

Past a quad core, it's diminishing returns at this point. At least until a node shrink or some competition from AMD.
