Just MHO:
For gaming and document processing it would be average. I don't know what the processing requirements are for CAD, you'd need to look into that. It doesn't appear to have a solid state drive (SSD) and the reviews indicate you may need to add a better ethernet adapter if you use wifi. I can't see what kind of cooling set up it has. The Cyberpower rig they have listed next to it is a better set up for the same money: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-...ct_top?ie=UTF8 One good way to get a read on pre-built rigs is to read the reviews on NewEgg. Those comments tend to sometimes be more useful than Amazon. https://www.newegg.com/Gaming-Deskto...742?Tid=897483 AMD RYZEN 5 1400 4-Core 3.2 GHz (3.4 GHz Turbo) | Average processor, relatively low powered 1 TB 7200RPM Hard Drive | Sufficient. It's sure nice to have a SSD as well though. A320 Micro-ATX Motherboard doesn't say what brand, this mobo though is on the lower end 16GB G. Skill Ripjaws Gaming Memory DDR4 2400 MHz with Heat Spreader (Not Generic Memory) | Solid, plenty of ram Windows 10 Home GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Card |Decent gaming card Video Output: Dual-link DVI, DisplayPort (version 1.4), HDMI | 5 x USB 3.0, 3 x USB 2.0

If you asked me to buy a pre-assembled PC 5 years ago I would honestly give you the stink eye but I just want to plug and play at this point if I'm not getting paid. Too many hobbies. I'll check NewEgg reviews. I'm in the Honda Civic market, don't need a Porsche. |

And yeah, NewEgg has some decent sales sometimes if you catch them at the right time.

It was kind of fun looking at prebuilds and trying to find a good one for under $1k but I didn’t look long. Wanna’ see what you can find so we can hook Otter up?

I wouldn't be able to recommend a prebuilt.
I'm sure there is someone near by that could put together whatever parts someone picked out for $100, or maybe even a friend that would do it for free, and you would still be around the same price as a prebuilt but wouldnt have the cheap motherboard/psu combo of a prebuilt. Plus I don't like the current trend "gaming computers" where everything needs to give you a seizure. |

The only problem I'm having is the BIOS isn't recognizing my LINUX drive but I haven't put any time into troubleshooting yet. Weird part is is when I go into 'manage' I can see it under 'disk management'. I'm very pleased for the price. The only time I miss SSD is when I reboot which is only 2-3 times a week. Great budget gaming PC to get me through the warm months until I build again this winter. You can add an SSD in about 10 minutes if so desired. |
