I'm looking for pre-built recommendations for someone else. Sadly, they aren't up to build their machine. They've specified a budget of ~$1000 USD, maybe up to $1200.
The best promise so far:
www.newegg.com
The "buy it and upgrade the RAM" option:
www.newegg.com
The "it's a better brand but suffer in RAM and storage option":
From an hour of browsing, I'm incredulous about how horrific the price range is. Minimal DDR5-6000, most systems are scraping by on 16GB of RAM, undersized 512GB SSDs as main drives. That's not even including the systems a little lower in price range that are still running DDR4 and want the same premium.
Between amazon/newegg/ibuypower, finding a 7600 + 3060 + 16GB of DDR5-6000 is nearly impossible without shelling out like $1500. I'm astounded at how much last-gen hardware is still peddled at for high prices. Maybe I'm spoiled by Microcenter bundles, but it just seems like prebuilts are a wasteland now that GPUs aren't being scalped.
