    Need your help, is this pre-built PC from Maingear worth it?

    So Im pretty much a scrub/noobie when it comes to building PCs, I want a new pc but rn GPU prices are over the top, so I decided to check out some pre-build PCs, this PC (that I customized) is around $1400 (some of the prices comes with the add-on of the Blackwidow X Chroma- $160, and Razer® Mamba Tournament Edition Chroma $90, without these the pc is $1150)… So I was wondering, is this $1150 PC is worth it or not?

        you don’t state what you need the rig for or what it’s main purpose will be.
        but that’s a decently spec’d rig at a decent price.
        it should play most of todays games at a decent FPS.
        but of course the word decent is very subjective.

        if it was me, I’d be swapping the listed OS HDD for a 256MB SSD and making the 2nd 1TB HDD a 2TB HDD.
        but if you were thinking of getting into photo or video editing or storing a huge picture or movie library then make that a 4TB HDD.

              Update, I’ve decided to check out some ironside PC’s, does anyone have any idea if they are worth it or not?

                    Yes, I’ve updated yalls, saying that I’m thinking about getting a $750-$1100 ironside PC, right now I’m just looking at different companies to see which one has the better deals.
