Is this a good setup for the price? This is somewhere in Europe. A tech shop that allows you to choose your hardware and they assemble it for you.
I mainly want to play older and indie games on it. Some video editing as well, possibly. Current rig is a crappy pre-built which overheats like crazy, practically impossible to do any gaming on it. TIA for any answers.
I understand, however, if you watch some building videos beforehand and take your time, it's pretty foolproof. Most things are labeled, have a special design so they can only go into a socket in a certain direction, and several plugs only go to one place.
But if you have some legitimate disability, then I understand that this might really be the only option for you. Just don't let fear of clumsiness be the only thing stopping you. I'm sure lots in this community would be willing to give you pointers or a nudge in the right direction.
As for its viability, yes. It should be able to run some older games and less-demanding indie titles. The 5700X has PCIe4 capabilities, so you should be able to get the maximum bang for your buck from the GPU.
Do you happen to know the timings of the RAM? As long as it's C16 @ 3200-3600, you should be golden.
Yeah, I don't think I want to risk damaging the components. RAM seems to be C16 at 3200.
Do you know someone you could pay less than 300 to build it for you? Its about an hours work or so.
Edit: you could likely even find someone here who would sit on a video chat with you and help if you wanted. I really encourage you to give it a shot, could always say the parts were damaged on delivery instead of damaged on installation too, if thats alright with you.
They're charging 100 € to build it, it seems.
