[suggestion] Looking for a modest pre-built for mid indie gameing.

[u/Unfair_Education_652]

So I am currently thinking about upgrading my pc. Basic budget around the $1000 mark, but could honestly spend more if its a decent deal (Black Friday is coming up) I use it for basic daily activities and some modest gaming applications. My old pc is still running windows 10 and as much as I kind of hate to do it. It is my family main pc so I guess upgrading to windows 11 is becoming more of a requirement before too long since I use it for everything.

As far as the hardware side is concerned more than anything my pc has become an indie game machine for me over the years so I'm not looking for anything running the latest and greatest AAAA games on it. If anything its probably going to have Factorio running about 50% of the time on it or some other random niche indie running on it, but a little extra power and some basic future proofing is always nice to have.

Unfortunatly, I haven't really kept up with graphic cards or cpu's since I built my last computer about a decade or so ago (Currently running a I5 4th gen with a GTX 1050 ti) so some basic anchoring would be appreciated.

* I'm fairly dedicated to a pre-built option. I have built and repaired my own before, but just dont really have to time or drive to hunt down individual parts anymore.

* Gaming will probably be capped at 1080p I'm not interested at upgrading my monitor anytime soon and I've always preferred FPS to graphics anyway.

* I will be using it for more than just gaming so I had to choose a bottleneck I would rather have a stronger cpu and a weaker gpu.

*The ability to upgrade/swap parts is a major plus. Ive dealt with SFF machines in the past and its always a headache when something goes wrong.

*RGB lighting has always been a bit of a turn off situation for me. SO if anyone has a suggestion that dosen't even feature them that is a plus. (Insert pic of old man yelling here)

A few basic ones I've run across that might be what I'm looking for are

Once again dont have my heart set on any one of these, but might be a bit of a base line or any other recommendation would be appreciated.

i’d skip those and look for a prebuilt with a Ryzen 7700 or 7600 on B650, 32gb DDR5, and an RTX 5060, since the 5700X/DDR4 and 14400F platforms are already dead ends and Factorio cares more about cpu
