Hahah, yeah I guess it has been a number of years. Time flies. I'm still playing ET on a really old PC (i5) so 5 years seems new to me. The PC I'm on now is newer, but I don't do a lot of gaming on it.

When you're done building a new one, send that old piece of shit to me. I'll fix it and repurpose it.

I heavily recommend against this on the basis that they're charging you WAY too much money. I just put together a computer on their site that was similar to the one I recommended to you and it came out to $1568.49. I then put together almost the same computer (couldn't find the exact same part, had to get better ones instead) on PCPartPicker and it was $1079.69. BTW I also recommend against an Intel build altogether since AMD is a better value as of right now AND gives you a better upgrade path.
If you really don't have anyone that can build it for you (V3nom?) and you don't think you can put it together yourself (I know you can, by the way) then go with some other website like Build Redux. They charge you normal prices for the parts and then just a $75 build fee on top. I literally put together a similar computer on their website (had to go for more RAM, a bigger M.2 SSD and a bigger storage HDD because they didn't let me choose anything lower) and it was $1384.

That xoticpc system is a total scam.
It for the most part is cheaper to buy the parts yourself and build it but there are acceptable deals to be found on Ibuypower and cyberpower sometimes.

What kind of monitor does she have? Without knowing its hard to tell her to get a 3070. If shes got some random 1080p/60hz monitor then the 3070 is mostly pointless. The cyberpower deals seem decent especially if you're looking to get the new series of GPUs. Looks like you order it and they build it when they get them in so you don't have to sit on a discord constantly waiting for in stock alerts like I had to

I would be surprised if she had a 1080p monitor, honestly. A computer with a 3070 in it seems like a waste.

Agreed on all counts but on the other hand, since this was under budget, there is/was enough to grab a 1440p monitor on the side. I think these deals have expired now anyway

That price is pretty bad considering you can get something like this for the same price: https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali472/p/N82E16883360057?Item=N82E16883360057
The 1660Ti gets blown away by the 3060TI. And honestly even then, I don't really like the price on that but that's just me.
I think winnie needs to just grab something like this, and then buy a decent monitor. There are many decent monitors right around 250-300. She can grab a curved Samsung Odyssey for right around there that's 1440p/144hz.
Cyberpower is posting daily deals everyday until MLK day at 8pm est. If winnie is serious about getting a PC she needs to jump on one of those. Yesterday there was a 3070 system for $980.
