My 14 y/o is saving money… up to 2k …. For his first gaming PC. I found this one. Research suggested the Ryzen 7 9800x3D and and the Rtx 5070 would be good at this price point. I found this For $1999.

Skytech Azure Gaming PC Desktop, Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz (5.2 GHz Turbo), NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB, 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, 32GB DDR5 RAM 6000 RGB, 850W GOLD PSU, 360mm ARGB AIO , Wi-Fi, Win 11,Montech XR​


The mother board isn’t great but I think it the best I can find. What am I missing

TIA
 
Hi

They only really show the models, not the makers. They probably take the cheapest they can find. Its a B650 board which isn't bad, there isn't a massive difference between them and B850.

I don't know how good their PC are. I just helped someone recently asking about them... here.

it looks okay but you don't really know who makes all the parts. Apart from the CPU and case.

Obviously you not in Australia as the one in my sig cost $3700 without the GPU.
