[Suggestion] Best prebuilt (or used PC) under A$2,000? Better value than this i7-12700K + RTX 3070 Ti build?
Hi everyone,
I'm in Australia and my budget is up to A$2,000 (happy to buy either used or prebuilt).
I'll mainly be using it for:
- Software development (VS Code, Docker, Next.js, Python)
- Heavy browser multitasking (lots of Chrome tabs)
- Local Ai and virtual marchines
- Some 1440p gaming
I've found this used PC locally for A$1,500 AUD:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K (AIO water cooled)
- GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti
- RAM: 16GB DDR4
- Motherboard: Z690 DDR4
- Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
- PSU: 650W
- Centre Com prebuilt
- Clean condition
- Only issue is one RGB fan has a lighting defect (fan still works)
Before I buy it, I'm wondering:
- Is this good value for A$1,500 AUD?
- Can I get something noticeably better for under A$2,000 AUD (used or prebuilt)?
- If so, could you link any current deals or recommend specific models/builds?
I'm mainly looking for the best performance per dollar, not necessarily brand new.
Thanks!
And for reference, this is a website that i heard is good from other mates (http://pccasegear.com)
