If you're set on one of those, then get the top one


But they seem hilariously overpriced. These are like 1500-1700 euro builds

no way lol, with 1500 euro u barely get a rtx3060 pc nowadays

most rtx3080 pcs are over 3k, the market is crazy right now i know

[Viikkis]

Do also some more research to the cooling and case airflow. That is usually a problem in some prebuilts so just air cooled or liquid cooled doesn't tell much if the case has terrible airflow to begin with.

About the price well everything is overpriced right now and will stay that way for quite a while.

AMD one has 3x120mm vents infront and 1x 140mm in the back, middle tower case W x D x H mm 552 x 545 x 251 mm

intel one has 4x120 mm in front and the processor is liquid cooled middle tower case W x D x H mm 210 x 550 x 440 mm

Aldi had 1500 Euro builds with 3070 inside. But you gotta be fast.

May 27: MEDION ERAZER Engineer X10.
1499 Euro. With 3070

If you have any link we could check actual parts. The issue with prebuilt is not that they're prebuilt, it's the fact that usually they have crappy components like PSU or mobo that make no sense or really hinder your performance. For that price you are either buying those from some "boutique" website or are getting a terrible deal (even of we all know gpus are in a terribile state right now)

I feel like a HDD in a 2000€+ computer should probably be a crime of some sort.

its not a boutique site, its more like a local amazon type but they build pcs aswell,

this are the links if it helps

most rtx 3070 prebuilds are going for 2-2.4k on all websites, so 2500euro for a rtx3080 seems like a really "good deal" nowadays, prices might drop until the end of year and i might regret this but i dunno..

theres a 2k euro rtx3070 build but it has a 500W source so ..

You didnt say what you are using your pc for but for gaming I would go with the Intel one. The 3800X is not that good for gaming. Its even the worst value out of the Ryzen 3000 series. A 5600X or 5800X would be the better choice here but both builds have last gen CPUs in it. Since the Intel one uses 3600mhz memory you can also expect a mainboard with a premium chipset.
Also if you get an aircooler with your AMD build chances are they just use the stock cooler and that thing is mediocre at best. A liquid cooler is overkill but at least it keeps your cpu at decent temps.

Both versions are a bit overpriced. You can probably make your own build with a 5600X or 10700K/11600K and a 6900XT for less money. A new 6900XT from a retailer in my country costs like 1700€. AMD cards are kinda available to buy right now unlike Nvidia cards. But for bloated prices of course.

I wouldn't say that, but having <1TB of SSD space should be.

HDDs still have a reason for existing and that's cheap bulk storage. But at 2k+ you really shouldn't have to worry about your SSD space running out unless you're abusing it by never deleting games

You know, I somehow completely blanked on it being a 3800x, my brain read 5800x

I mean, not really..? Some SIs will list high ram speeds but still use a board / CPU that can't actually reach those speeds because some (most?) consumers don't know, or care enough to check if they can run at that speed

Yes they do that but OP posted the original listings and you can see they use a Z490 mainboard so he can expect the RAM to run at 3600mhz.

[Exkrementor]

IF they did their job and configured it to run at that speed. Which isn’t the case all too frequently.

Worst case scenario is that you have to go into your BIOS and click on the XMP profile. That should be doable for everyone. The important part is that the CPU and mainboard even support 3600mhz RAM.

These Diaxxa prebuilt systems have been featured on the localized official ASUS facebook page (the AMD one is running X570, probably TUF GAMING X570-PLUS), but still... they're terribly overpriced.

[Varolyn]

Sadly, Pre-builts aren't good as a value as they were like 2 months ago. The market and scalpers have caught up and people were buying these machines for the purpose of ripping the GPU out and selling the rest of the system. A 3080 Alienware Aurora build was like $2300-2400 a few months ago, which was an alright deal. Now that same system is just over $3000. The PC market is just extremely inflated right now and sadly pre builts have now caught up to that market.

Links helped a little but not much. Specifics are terribly generic, but you have an x570/z490 mobo on the builds, so not cheap ones. Pictures are always an hit and miss and not a reliable way to judge.

All in all they're good systems and shouldn't have crappy parts, while not top of the line ones. Anyway they're terrible deals and while i know you don't have many options to get a new gpu/rig, if you don't have any kind of urgency i'd wait. Yes you're risking to not find it in a while, but you're gonna save money.

[LedZeppelin]

i would never buy a gpu in this market. everything is over priced. wait for the crypto craze to die down and then you can actually find one for msrp

It's not just crypto. There's just not enough supply because everyone wants new computers due to the lockdown.

its mostly crypto tho. they are putting shit on the card that makes them bad at crypto or at least the drivers are

You can blame Crypto scum for that. It's also the only way to really get a gaming GPU right now.

That got bypassed because someone leaked the damn software before it was implemented so it was easy to crack.
