My GPU just fried, getting a new PC. How does this look? - Ravioli - Jun 20, 2019
The GPU in my gaming laptop of 4+ years just fried. The laptop still works, however I'm most likely going to just use it for college related activities.
I've been researching for a few hours on Amazon for a new desktop (no I don't feel like building it, sorry boys) and I've come across THIS
It seems very affordable for the specs. The only downsides would be that, yeah, it is an i5... but I don't think any bottlenecks could happen with a 9400F. What do you guys think? Also, I'm most likely going to buy an extra 8GB of RAM.
There's tons of positive reviews as well. I was reading them for a good 20 minutes and the consensus is that it's a great PC.
I'm heavily considering it, what do you think?

It's a reasonably good value. Obviously I would still advocate for building yourself, but since that's not an option here, I would say go with your gut. If the reviews seem good to you, then you will likely be quite happy with it.
I can say you definitely would be getting a way better value than anything from Dell/HP/Asus/etc. on this desktop.

Its not a bad pick but i found something better for only $150 more.
You get the same things except now its an upgraded CPU and you get the 16gb of ram.
Since i cant post links yet search this on amazon

People say the support is pretty helpful with this brand.

I know you said you dont WANT to build one, but to put it in perspective, you can build a similar pc WITH a better gpu such as a 2060 or even a 2070 and possibly be cheaper than what that pc is on amazon, my past experience with cyberpower was not pleasant at all, so i just resulted in me building one myself.
