I am in need of a new gaming PC, living in germany.

I used to build them together with help from others on hardwareversandt.de, already built together cuz i'm a hardware noob and lazy, but the site doesn't exist anymore.

Prize range is preferably ~1000€ - 1200€, MAX 1500€
Has to include a 144hz monitor, not too huge though.
Has to have SSD for games like sc2, dota2 and poe + operating system
Has to include windows.

I need it completly built together already.

plz help

Heya friend,

Check this thread:
https://tl.net/forum/tech-support/426532-computer-build-upgrade-and-buying-resource-thread

Be sure to check OP (I mistake and not do this my first time, redid post they super helpful!) With their suggestion I recycle some old parts (excess RAM/ re-use power supply/ put new SSD for OS but kept other 2tb on old drive) It was recommend just shy of my budget and I save several hundred dollars after budgeting out what I didn't need.

I only build a mid tower PC because I don't do heavy gaming (mostly play really old rpg/arpg/ rts [when net ok]) They can definitely help you !

It sounds like he wants to buy a prebuilt PC, rather than build one himself.

Just want to chime in - if you dedicate about one hour watching youtube videos and get a screwdriver - you can build a pc configuration real easy.

You don't need any real expertise to do it on your own.

I can recommend you to check this site - https://pcpartpicker.com/
There you can find recommended configurations, tons of information and you can check if the parts you may be looking for are compatible with the rest of your system.

Best of luck!

P.S. sorry for not answering directly to your question but I'd never ever recommend a prebuilt configuration, even to my worst enemy

ye i didn't really mean prebuilt, that was wrong wording by me
i meant a site where u can choose parts and they built it into a case for you for some extra money. there used to be something like that in gemrany for 20$ but the site doesn't exist anymore :/
pretty sure i could build it together myself, but i'm the most lazy person on earth

This is around the top of your range but this is what I slapped together in 5 minutes. You can downgrade some parts if you want, choose a case you like. If you can find a way to have it built from a parts list you'd definitely get a lot more value than by buying a prebuilt. Anyway just an idea

no. on hardwareversandt.de, you could choose any parts you wanted for cheap and for 20$ extra they'd put the parts together for you and send it to you, no work, easy and cheap. shit doesn't exist no more

If you're close to the Dutch border, check out Azerty.nl. They have been a well known PC components web shop for years, and they have an assembly service which they promote on their front page

I think he means you don't have to physically put the parts together yourself. There is ton of sites to order parts but it's basic par course that you do the assembly. If the tower itself is already together it gets the label.

Well for me prebuilt is from manufacturers (ie. bad) whereas picking yourself the parts and let the vendor do the dirty work for some $$ is not prebuilt (ie. good). How do you differentiate prebuilt from manufacturer with a pc you chose the parts but did not build yourself?

Getting the build from internet forum is pretty much the same as buying a prebuilt from manufacturer. I find it hard to believe that someone will take the time to actually optimize the build for a stranger online just for fun, but rather just pick compatible parts. It will be a build that works, but not optimized to minimize bottlenecks.

Last time it took me hours to build a pc for my needs, just to find out the possible bottlenecks and search data from performance tests. This is overkill for someone who does not even want to put the parts together by himself.

For sc2, poe and dota I'm pretty sure you dont need to spend even a 1000e. Including a monitor.

Yeah that's what I figured as well. But then again, the 144hz monitor somehow implies performance in the 100+ fps range, so I'm guessing he is putting a decent GPU in there?
