Also you might be able to carry other components over from your old computer to your new one, like SSD/HD etc. as long as the parts are beefy enough to handle the newer specs. For example I brought over my old power supply because it was a 1000 watt PSU so I knew it could handle the power needed by the graphics card, processor, mobo etc. I also brought over my last m.2 SSD to add to my 1TB one that I bought to give me a backup drive of sorts.

This build is just something I threw together, there's more work that goes into each individual part to see which is best based on reviews of the product. PC Part Picker is a great website for tinkering around with builds.

I just built my new computer after I got taxes back and I spared very little expense. I would recommend looking up YouTube videos if you're going to compare pre-built vs. do it yourself. YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus/Pauls Hardware, BitWit, OC3D and JayzTwoCents have great content for builders and stick around certain price ranges as well.
Good advice GD. But I’m pretty sure we all know how to build a rig.
(btw another good all-in-one resource for n00b builders is
https://www.wepc.com/)

We’re looking for a good sub-$1K prebuilt rig in this thread though if you happen to see one.

I used to be on the bleeding edge when building a PC but with all the advancements and the warm weather just around the corner I just want to purchase a plug & play. Something that runs reliably with little effort. I can do my own tech support.

here is the upgraded version for 50 bucks more. same company as the OP, just better deals.

I've had horrible luck with SSD failures and don't want one unless I'm building or buying a LINUX box where the registry isn't integrated into every little operation. Plus 8g of memory isn't enough for 3D CAD.

Thanks for the input. I'm just going to pull the trigger on this one. Seems to be what I'm looking to purchase.

All my Windows 10 machines have SSD's and haven't encountered a single issue. I had far greater problems with 7200 rpm drives and raid than i've had with SSD.

This is insanity. SSD is god. Failures are extremely rare. No SSD, no performance.

If you're worried about performance, you should try using a real OS.

No problems with SSD's and Win 10 for me either. Primarily we use Samsung EVO drives.

I do as well, and no issues whatsoever.

A lot of the laptops I've worked on have had Intel drives. I've not used them on Linux but on Win10, they sucked.

Intel is the same brand I've had all my SSD + Win10 problems.

There was an issue with a hand full of SSD drives and Win10: https://betanews.com/2018/05/24/windows-10-kb4100403/

But it was pretty minor. There's millions of copies of Win10 on SSDs running just fine. I really wouldn't avoid it at this point, you'll be missing quite a bit of performance...

Windows Update is one of the buggiest POS I've ever dealt with. Once my kids are gone, I'll be down to just 1 Windows machine I have to support.

Then there was the issue where Microsoft auto pushed out the ~5GB Win10 installer to Win7 machines via Windows Update. Which would leave the machine in a "Installing updates. Please don't power off" state sometimes for hours depending on the network connection. Then pester you every 10 minutes about the free upgrade to v10 that you didn't ask for...
