    So I found this PC at a retail in my city:

    CPU: i7-6700 3.4GHz

    Memory: 16GB DDR4-2133Mhz

    GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6G

    Stoarage: 1000 GB (Hard drive) and 120 GB (SSD)

    Case: Cooler Master N300

    Power supply: Thermaltake 80+ Bronze, 500W

    OS: Windows 10

    All this for a good price (what I think) of €984,-

    I want to hear oppinions if the price is worth the PC.

    Don't know if you are still looking for this but I'll answer anyway.
    Yes this is pretty good value for what it is, GPU is a bit weak but it's still powerful enough for any current games.
    Best deal you will get with EU taxes.

    Huh i compleatly missed this thread.
    Well the PC seems alright just the power supply is a bit scary.
    Maybe get this pc and replace the powersupply to something better. I can highly suggest the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 80 Plus Gold.

    Now that is major BS :p

    I didnt see this either ngl
    How in the fuck is a 1060 weak lmao.

    If this were my build I would definitely upgrade the PSU, I wouldn't want to run a Bronze considering how often I'm using my PC at higher loads, but that depends on often/intensively you're using your PC.

    Price per performance the 1060 is outperformed by a 1070. I'm thinking future proof here.
    When you compare it to the top of the line processor and ram it does seem like a potential bottle neck.
    Perhaps my standards are a bit different from yours however.

    As for the power supply, it should be fine.
    Those parts take about 350W of power, leaving you a buffer of about 150W which is fine and actually improves power efficiency.

    A tiny reminder:
    Threads that have been dead (= not posted on) for a while are considered DEAD.
    So posting on these "dead" threads makes you a necromancer. Necromancer might sound cool, but it isnt nice to be seen as one.
    Have a look at the last post before you smash into your keyboard, everyone!
    Try avoiding necroposting in the future! First time doesn't matter, second time is provoking and third time is stupidity.

    Dont do necroposting, kids!
