Best pre assembled PC's these days?
 

I usually always buy my parts myself and assemble when buying a new PC

But who provides the best pre assembled PC's these days? for like $1,000

cyberpowerpc has good rigs but you're looking at more the $1500 range.

I prefer Velocity Micro. 0 bloatware. Good warranties and service. Buy as much processing power as you want. For $1000 best of with a small tablet

I stopped building my own PCs years ago. You reach a certain point where time >> money. Why dick around with building a computer when you can just buy one? My last PC I bought was in 2010; I just maxed out whatever Alienware was selling at the time. I upgraded the video card at one point, and replaced the liquid cooling system but that's about it. Still runs everything as fast as I need including the most recent video games.

These days I am also into laptops - Microsoft Surface laptops. Combined with the Microsoft docking station you can hook up multiple monitors to it and make swappable work stations. The second workstation in my home office has this set up and my wife or my kid can just plug their laptop in and everything instantly works.

When I am ready for my next PC I will just max out the latest Alienware, which seems to be about $3k. Yeah, I know, "you are paying extra for the for the name and the silly lights" but I like the lights and the lighted keyboard and mouse.

May I suggest you at least take a look at https://pcbros.tech/
Although it sounds like a scammy url, its part of the ToastyBros youtube channel. They seem upfront about stuff, and all the PCs on the page that are displayed for me in the UK (Although you may see different) are all under 1000 ?

If I were looking for a second system, or something half decent for the grandkids, I would be shopping there myself...

whats the use case.

maybe thats the better question if its for gaming, or just browsing, design, etc.

Here yah go - These are the guys - Only posted an hour ago...

Probably explaining why they have so many dell optiplex on the site!

(I have not actully watched it yet)

Alternatively, (& Im slipping by not mentioning this) your best bet is to order whatever the fuck you like from Amazon, then swear blind that it dint arrive - You can only do this a few times of course, but it is how I got my XBox for the other room... :2 cents:

I had some issues with my old Dell OptiPlex 5090. But since switching to HP, I've had zero problems for the past 2 years. I'm happy with my choice!
