I’m trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I’m really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is.

    It’s generally because there’s no pre-built PC that is going to be as good bang-for-your-buck as one you build your own, so even the best prebuilt is already starting off with a poor footing.

      Does that mean prices have gone to normal? I remember for a long time that wasn’t the case because of how hard it was to get video cards, so only way to get it even close to msrp was to buy a pre-built. Then was was a time when ram was overpriced too.

        I’m pretty sure they have for the most part? It seemed reasonable last time I checked at least.

        Either way, I do know prices dropped because the Bitcoin and NFT hype died down a lot, but I’m not certain if it brought it all the way back down to how it was before.
