I've bought a Dell gaming desktop for $1000 and now I have regrets. I should have maybe bought the nuc instead...

>not vega m nuc

yes sir mr white knight what ever you say

get cucked white devil

It's not tough to build one and there are many sites that will help choose parts that are compatible w/ everything else you're looking to get.

Anyway, as long as the PC meets your needs there's really no reason to get a new one..

You did overspend a bit and even buying a NUC would have been overspending for what they cost.

Just treat it as a mistake to learn from next time you need a machine. Worst case you have a very expensive Steam Box or something.. The PC you have would've been like 700 if you purchased the parts yourself/had some laying around already so it's not like you took a HUGE hit or anything like that.

CPU:
2200G if poor
1600X for bang/buck
2700X for best overall performance

GPU:
vega integrated in 2200G if poor
RX 480 for bang/buck
2080ti with AIO for best overall performance

RAM:
2x4GB 2400MHz if poor
2x8GB 3200MHz for bang/buck
2x16GB 4000MHz for best overall performance

god that was hard OP

>RX 580*

>inb4 "hurrr just blow twice as much for an i7
Except for the i5-8400 which is now been made irrelevant by the 2600X with a significantly better cooler, intel's i7s require very heavy duty AIO with at least tripple fans to keep cool. Not worth it in any scenario especially since the difference is 5-10% in fps in games.

>not building his own pc

I build my PC from the ground up starting with raw Earth materials , not like some hacks that buy their parts then claim to be "building" a PC

I wanted to buy a nuc because I dont play games but a good nuc is expensice af, cheaper to build a mini itx with full gpu (I also have 1st gen dan case and I havent even opened the box yet)

I looked up a list of parts for a budget build and then built that. You could give that a try.

this also 2200g is a steal with 2400mhz ram

yes, anything amd is subpar poorfag tier

You made the right choice. You should be able to upgrade your desktop down the line unlike the NUC.

Also that NUC suffer from reliability issues from what I read.

Its not 1990 when you can actually do something wrong, also you must be seriously retarded to need 3 weeks to educate yourself on this particular topic. Also the things you learn doing the research will serve you in the future too. Unless youre one of those faggots that prefer to have money and pay for everything instead of learning really simple things yourself, while later getting raped by "specialists" because whatever they do and tell you youre to fucking dumb and clueless to know amy better, i suggest taking your time and learning things. Especially when it aint fucking rocket science.

no
for 200 bucks more, you have an actual desktop, not a nuc meme shit

see

>knowing the very basics of how a computer functions shouldn't be required to post on a technology forum
Go back to whence you came from.

You may have overpaid but you got yourself a pretty good computer that will be viable for at least 5 years

Stop lying to him, the cooling solution probably isn't enough for the locked down undelided piece of shit 8700. He probably has massive frame stuttering.

it comes with an aio water cooler. if you actually cared about answering his question and not your imaginary war between retarded brand loyalists, you would have known that. also you wouldn't call the 8700 a shit when it's really pretty okay, if not overpriced.

This. GOD FORBID they used the stock cooler.

It LITERALLY stutters like crazy even with a 2 fan AIO.

t. delided my 8700, used H105, and still got 79C @ 4.4 GHz. This thing is a hunk of junk.

i have an 8700k running 4.9 ghz all core on a shitty 212 evo and it does get up to 85, but it never thermal throttles. didn't even delid it yet.

You're either:
a.) Straight up lying
b.) Won the silicon lottery
Either way fuck intel, I should have waited for 7nm ryzen 2. I can't fucking stand the frame stuttering so I locked the frequency down to 4.2 GHz.

I don't think gaming PCs are ideal for illustrator and photoshop.

Have you even recorded the frame times across a few games? A lot of 8700K user reported less input lag at base frequencies.

Lmao, you fucking liar. Maybe in single thread cinebench.

those programs are all about single threaded performance

i didn't look at frame times, but i haven't noticed any input lag. i play fps games on a crt, usually at pretty high frame rates, and they all feel snappy to me.

i don't know that i got a golden sample. it's just pretty decent. i couldn't get it to 5.1 ghz. you may have actually got a defective chip if the heat output is that bad. it's not in spec!

the 212 evo can supposedly dissipate 150 watts, while your cpu is rated for 65 watts. even if cooler master is exaggerating their performance by double, it would still be good for 75 watts, which is sufficient. i think you have a bad chip, return it for a replacement or refund if you can.

It's lego you dumb fuck. Takes about 20 mins to put a parts list together and maybe an hour to put all the parts together. fucking kys

don't worry about it the good NUCs have dumb skulls on them.

once they stop putting skulls on them they will be worth buying thou I guess you could just 3dprint a side panel. I think you can 3d print stuff that can withhold 85deg now if you use right plastic normal 3d printing plastics just 50c and not good enough.

I looked at the parts individually. I was set on i7, an nvidia graphics card, a small SSD for the operating system, 16 gb of ram. I hate the form factor which is why I like the NUC. I never considered buying in in parts because I DON'T LIKE DOING THAT. It doesn't interest me. I don't like getting 8 packages in the mail and playing the Lego game. At best I would have saved $300 which I really don't care about. I'm not that poor. I put aside about $3000 each month from my cuck wage. Wtf is it so hard for you guys to understand that not everyone is into buying individual parts and putting them together. I'd get no fun from that and I don't mind paying extra for the convenience of getting it all ready. If you look at an i7 and 1060 that alone is $600. I don't care to wait till November for deals or search 100 websites for the best price. You guys are pretty NPC in your woken state. You've been told cool guys build computers from parts and now you can't concieve doing things in a different way. I was just wondering if the NUC was just as good but in a better form factor and a similar price. But some of you convinced me the Dell is in many ways better so I consider my question answered.

I have the old nuc which I use for Linux and programming. I love it which is why I considered getting the new one. They send you an alternative box cover that doesn't have the skull. I use that. My old NUC can't play some racing games I wanted to try or PES 2019. So I figured since my wife needs a new computer to do illustrator and Photoshop on I could use that for gaming as well. I need windows for some Ms SQL server programs too anyway and I'm starting to hate rebooting my dual boot set up just to play a game or use a windows program. Otherwise the nuc is a dream; super quiet on the Linux side, fast and doesn't take a lot of space on my desk.

>Intel nuc 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8809G with Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics
Does it have a TOSLINK output port?

Idk mate, have a look yourself

return it asap

Source?

I'm sure you mean assemble not build user ;)

If you feel you made the wrong choice and think that you're going to feel better about it by coming on to Jow Forums, you probably have a long history of making poor choices.
