Buy at Newegg: AVGPC Max Gaming PC - Intel I5 11400F, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, 16GB RAM, 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home Black (opens in a new tab)What the prebuilt includes: The $989 prebuilt comes assembled and tested, with Windows installed, one warranty for the whole PC and one place to call for support. Parts come with a warranty each, and you install Windows yourself.
Where it may cut corners:
Time and skill: A first build takes about 3 to 5 hours with care: seating the CPU and memory, mounting the cooler, routing cables and installing Windows and drivers. No special tools beyond a screwdriver.
Our take: We could not price every part today, so compare again tomorrow before deciding.
