I have been a local system builder in Chicagoland for the past 15 years. Starting building computers over 20 years ago. My goals in designing a build and choosing parts is to create the best performing machine using the highest performing parts purchased for good prices. I shop parts I believe in so that when I a building I don't have to inflate the cost of the PC due to a very volatile PC parts market currently. If you have been looking for a custom PC that you can grow with and don't really want to settle for mediocre components in a prebuild, look no further. Prebuilts tend to have suspect low cost power supplies, mediocre or finicky motherboards lacking in features, the cheapest boot drives, and an expensive GPU you did not get to choose. These days the main value in that prebuilt is the DDR RAM and the GPU,. You might end up with an ASUs\S Prime, Windforce or cheap GPU that has little value on resale when there are better versions of that GPU on the used market for the same money. When I buy GPUs, I buy performance for the money. My GPUs speak for themselves. All of the GPUs listed in my posts have reached the pinnacle of 3D Mark benchmarking. Most 95% of all 3D benchmarks have hit #1 in the World for all 3D benchmarks. I a very proud of this feat considering these GPUs hit #1 in the World on air coolers. This should tell you right away you are buying a cherry picked card. Yes they are older Gen but for 1080P and 1440P still very very serviceable now and in the future for gaming and especially for workstation applications. You will see that not all the PCs I have built are gaming focused. Not all have RGB and I am starting to just build some blackout builds because people seem to like the minimal lighting effects while they are working.
I carefully design the parts around the build so that no part is bottlencked by another. All PC Cases, motherboards, CPU Coolers, Fans CPUs, and Power Supplies are brand new. I do have New Old Stock(NOS) of GPUs, SSD Drives and RAM which have been the parts that have exploded in price. I am adding these NOS parts(GPU, RAM< SSD) to lower your total cost. This is a beast of a machine being 16 cores/32 threads along with 64gb of low latency DDR4 RAM. We can lower the cost by $200 if you only want 32gb of DDR4. If you already have a GPU, we can drop $500 off the MSI RTX 3080- Suprim X. Take a look at the shroud. It is basically new. Light testing when I first got it to make sure it was a working card. Bought new.
