Hi,
I’m considering a new build and wanted to check if this fits my needs. My budget is roughly $800 to $900, and I’m curious if it’s suitable for the price. Does it look good and work properly? Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

What is your location?
I assume this is a pre-built. What brand and model name and number?
From where do you intend to buy it?
Do you have a direct link to the PC?
You say "decent for the price point". Decent for what intended purpose?
What other pre-builts are you considering?

I reside in the United States close to Philadelphia. Initially planning to purchase it from Newegg, I considered checking other sites if prices were more favorable.
It’s not a ready-made unit; the components were recommended and I’d assemble it myself. The goal is 1440p gaming without overspending. I don’t require top-tier graphics or plan to overclock. The lineup would include Arc Raiders, maybe Stalker 2 (the latest update caught my interest), and other upcoming titles. I don’t stream or create content, so it’s mainly for personal gaming use. I haven’t explored pre-built versions since I prefer building it from scratch. Appreciate the feedback!

Don’t skimp on the PSU. Seek a robust model with a warranty of seven or ten years. Upgrading from a 750w to an 850w is generally inexpensive. The PSU will only use the power it needs.
