Looking for suggestions on a desktop, preferably pre-built.

Requirements:
- Able to run AutoCad 2020LT

Games I play:
- Eve
- Wow
- Trove
- Stardew Valley

Budget:
1200-1500, honestly I don't know if this should include a monitor or not.

Would appreciate any suggestions, as I haven't owned a desktop since about 1998.

Thanks

So Ibuypower has this


For $1,331,

Now i tried to do pretty much identical parts on pcpartpicker and came around even - the PSU will be sketch but it claims 600 +Gold on them and pcpartpicker is as fucked as we are getting good rates on PSUs atm


More or less with their bulk part discount at ibuypower or cyberpc you will more or less just be paying them to build/support it and full cost of windows. So in the end its really not THAT bad.

I get that its easier to just get a pre built, but that part picker build looks to be about 400 bucks of wasted money. From the cooler, mobo, case, psu to windows. Then skimps on the video card and the drive.

its a copy of the prebuilt, psu prices are fucked and the B550 boards aren’t on shelves yet to be part of prebuilt systems.

And these vulnerabilities matter a lot to people running big cloud server farms and absolutely 0 to desktop users.

I guess if you're looking at some particular PSU? But a 650 Gold EVGA is 82.05 w/FS, and is available (at least right this moment). 550 and 570 boards, unless the purchaser is planning ahead for future upgrades - is wasted money on an AMD Ryzen 7 chip set. 550 and 570 was designed to have a bigger bios memory to accommodate the new chip sets, but you also get the version 4's etc. Truly, for the price difference - you might as well get a 500 series board? But if availability doesnt fit the time frame, a 470 is more than enough for the Ryzen 7 architecture. I poured hours upon hours of research into this stuff just to get the perfect build for my g/f and her budget. That's why when he said his budget, I was Johnny on the Spot.

For the money, that build is pretty sweet. I wouldnt consider upgrading her PC until DDR5 is affordable, 24 Core+ is affordable, and the hardware needed to take advantage of it is affordable. Which is very likely 3-5 years at the minimum. Even then, is the PC really going to need an upgrade with what is in the foreseeable future with software? Thanks to that Linus video - the only foreseeable upgrade for myself or her may be an internal storage upgrade that has the controllers available to work just like the Playstation 5's. Loading any asset at any time on demand, at least in my opinion, will be a game changer.

Well, now we can justify upgrading cpu as we go

People are saying on reddit etc. that the newer Nvidia cards are going to start at $1500. Could just be people talking out of their ass, as to be expected, but if that has any semblance of truth.. can the people willing to spend $1500 on a video card really be that big of a group?

Newer cards you meaning 3080ti and above? I can't really see it happening, due to cryptomining really dying down. If they're charging that much though it's real dumb. $1200 was already dumb as fuck

Been thinking of upgrading my i5-3570k from 2012. Still runs decently at 4.5ghz (OC) with a GForce 1070 graphic card.

I only need motherboard, ram and processor. The rest of the parts was updated last year. The thing is I got a Fractal Design Mini C case. I was thinking of getting the Ryzen 5 3600. But to use the case I need a mATX or mITX motherboard which does not seem to be that well stocked over here. Otherwise I need to get a bigger case to fit a normal ATX card.

How is the Ryzen 5 3600? I'm totally lost on this topic nowdays. And would there be any drawbacks using mITX motherboard?
