I’m thinking of picking up a pre-built PC since this one even with a new SSD is still slow and parts are so hard to find right now or are being price gouged. I can get the same setup prebuilt for almost the same price as building it myself.

I can go with one company that only uses the Nvidia RTX 3080/3090

Or a different one that’s uses the AMD RX 6800 XT/6900

I’ve read both the 3090 and 6900 are more work station cards so I’m not going to spend the extra on those and the 6800 is at most 10% slower then the 6900 and in some tests the 6800 beats it.

I’m leaning towards the 6800, does anyone have real life experience with it instead of just review sites or experience with the 3080?

Thanks.

Be careful with prebuilts, you can't replace parts on those down the line for the most part, so you'll have to shell out for a new computer anyway.

The one company does custom, you can send it back or they’ll “walk you through” how to upgrade a part.

My brother used to buy from them and upgraded stuff all the time it’s when he found out how much I paid for mine that he started to have me build them.

Then this last time he went with Alienware lol. No idea why. They’re only slightly cheaper then the custom place that’s semi local but whatever he had constant problems from some small special case and everything overheating even though it was all water cooled or something.
