Blackwing Lair Raider
So, I am in the market for a new pre-built computer. I have an Acer Predator that I bought in January 2014 (Intel i7-4770, 3.4ghz, 12gb ddr3, GTX 660, 120gb SSD). It has been a great 4-year run, but it has started to act up in the last month. Applications are taking a minute to load when it use to be instantaneous. I will be in a game running normally then my screen will freeze for 10-15 seconds randomly, then pop back in or crash. My internal wifi card stopped working for a week, then started working again randomly. It feels like some of the hardware is starting to fail. I don't want to go through all the components individually trying to trouble shoot it.
I will look to spend around $1250 - $1500. Any recommendations on where I should be shopping?
Best buy occasionally has really good prices on new computers. Last year i needed a new computer for my house and the boss wanted me to pick out one for his house and the office. I assumed i as going to be building these but i soon realized i could find a pre-built machines at a far cheaper price.
Looks like the price has gone up slightly as i got mine on sale for $849 but i still think this is about the best PC would can buy for under 1k or so. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-i...hard-drive-recon-blue/5948598.p?skuId=5948598
For your price range this looks really good as it has a 1070, optane and i7 8700 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienw...ne-memory-epic-silver/6155310.p?skuId=6155310 It's on sale for 1150 right now and that looks really cheap. Damn, now i wish i bought on of these..
