Lyte Venom X

[MotoMike117]

Hi all. I am currently in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC and with me being an amateur on the subject, I thought I'd ask around about a prebuilt I heard was a great deal(being that it comes with a 3080). However, I am worried about bottlenecking and other component related issues that I may be unaware of. What do you guys think about this prebuilt for 1080p ultra and 4k gaming on games such as DCS, Microsoft Flight Simulator, etc? https://lytetechnology.com/product/lyte-venom-x/

It has the previous generation CPU, a poor quality PSU, and only 16GB of memory. I would not buy, if my money.

The psu sucks, older series board and not enough RAM for MS Flight Simulator.

 

[MotoMike117]

What's wrong with the psu? And how much ram do I need?

 

[MotoMike117]

Also, any recommendations on something better in the $2000-$3000 range?

Give me a few minutes and I'll post a build for you. btw what is your monitor resolution?

 

[MotoMike117]

Thanks. I was hoping I could use my 4k smart tv as a monitor but that was gonna be a question for later on... Right now I'm just using my laptop to play Arma 3, using my tv as a monitor through HDMI.

Ok thanks. What else will I need besides the keyboard, mouse, monitor? And can I use my tv for 4k gaming if it's a 4k tv?

I've never gamed on a TV but someone who knows more about it will reply on here.

 

[MotoMike117]

Okay awesome. Will I need to buy anything else besides the mouse and keyboard? I already have a gaming mouse, headset, and an entry level joystick. And I'm guessing the TV will work because I'm already using it with my laptop.

Sounds like you're good to go.

Not an expert on this, but I've been 1080p gaming on TVs for over a decade. So I'm 99.9% sure your 4K TV will game at 4K just fine

 

[MotoMike117]

ok thanks guys. I figured the Venom X I posted was probly a good deal just for the GPU alone but ya'll know a lot more about this stuff than me.

 

[MotoMike117]

I've been looking up the build that you set me up with and I'm diggin it. Quick question. Would I gain any performance by using this RAM instead of the one you mentioned(for a little extra money obviously)? In other words, will the 3600MHz make that much of a difference?

There's a few games that take advantage of higher clocked memory.

 

[COLGeek]

Sure, you can game on a 4k HDTV. Just keep in mind the viewing distance for a TV is greater than for a PC display.

sorry but what do you mean?

 

[Brian Boru]

what do you mean?

This explains it:

TV viewing distance: how far away should you sit?

What is the ideal TV viewing distance?

www.techradar.com

Whereas a monitor will typically be ~18 inches.

Mind you, it's different for blind people like me—my 2 x 42" TVs, which are my monitors, sit ~24 inches from me.

 

[MotoMike117]

Oh ok gotcha. I'm kinda blind too.
