I'm so lucky I picked up a prebuilt 2 years back. First prebuilt I've ever bought, but I didn't think I could match the i5-1440, 4060, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVME with mobo, case, and power supply for less than the $700 price tag.

Can't remember ever building a PC or buying any electronic toy and having it be worth more after 2 years of use. o_O

    Ooh, thats a really good deal. Do you have any info about the PSU? Pre-builts tend to have cheapest PSUs possible

    I'll admit the PSU and case are things I never bothered looking in to. I've run the CPU at 100% for over 14 hours straight and maxed the GPU for hours pushing normal games into VR though with no power issues.

    A 4060 isn't really enough to push games at the insane 6kx6k needed to get them looking good in VR, so that was definitely more of a stress test than any normal gaming. :)

    Oh, okay, nice to hear that it has been good for you. The PSU is seriously quite important, if you want to keep the pc for a long time. With these component prices I would recommend looking into it as it's probably the cheapest form of insurance
