NZXT Announces the Starter PC Series, Starts at $699
NZXT, a leading developer of software-powered hardware solutions for PC gaming, today announces an update to their Starter PC Series line of pre-built PCs with the introduction of the $699 NZXT Starter PC.
"Building a gaming PC can be very difficult for beginners." says Johnny Hou, founder and CEO of NZXT. "Not everyone wants to take the time needed to fully understand how to configure and build a system. They just want to play their favorite games. That is why we simplified this whole process with the NZXT Starter PC Series. As fans take their first steps into PC Gaming, they can rest assured that they're getting a build that is suitable for their needs and optimized for performance."
The new $699 Starter PC features an Intel Core i3 9100F and NVIDA Geforce GTX 1050. This allows for an easy entrance into the realm of PC Gaming, with performance of over 60 frames per second in 1080p at high settings on titles such as Fortnite, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and League of Legends. The Starter Plus and Starter Pro are also available with an upgraded CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage for gamers with greater performance needs.

In other words:
"if'n ya wanna play, den ya gotzta pay !"
This includes both the cost of a properly configured rig, as well as the time you need to invest in learning how to build & maintain it....
If you aren't willing to commit to both of these, then you have absolutely ZERO business even owning or being allowed to use a computer in the 1st place.. :cry:
Also, advertising 3200 Memory on B365 :haHAA:
Imo those pcs seems to be priced quite well. GJ NZXT.
There is a typo.. for 699$ you get gtx 1650 not 1050
I guess you could weld a patch into a classic, metal-bodied car, but that isn’t something you have done “at the shop” anyways.
Edit: back on topic: the worst part of this feels like that i3. Some poor dummy is going to spend $700 on the base model only to find that future performance is kneecapped even if he upgrades gpu. No excuses to be made selling a $700 system targeted at gaming with such a crap processor.
As much as I love the mouse and keyboard for gaming; if I was limited to $700-$1000(USD) I'd much rather buy myself a next gen console than any of those.
It's 2020 - the year of heatwaves, 200W Intel CPUs and 400W RTX3090 cards.
All aboard the mesh train, CHOO CHOO MOTHERTRUCKERS.
Oil change is just pulling a screw out, waiting for oil to drip out. Then you remove the filter, add the new filter, and pour the new oil in. There's a few "ceremonial' bits you're supposed to do (rub oil on the filter which apparently makes a better seal), but this sort of stuff is no harder than wearing ESD while putting a computer together or making sure your fans are blowing the right way in your case. Someone's gotta tell you about it, and it makes sense once you've done it.
Tire rotation is even easier: remove tire, then move tire to other locations.
And it's not a good reflection on the company that they won't even use an NZXT branded Motherboard in their own builds.
so i guess you have your own farm for veggies and meat, bake your own bread,
otherwise no business do have those, right?
@dragontamer5788
you do realize there are lots of ppl on this planet that either make more money/hour, and/or will use the "saved" time not doing things like building a pc, doing oil change themselves?
why would i waste about 1h (purchase parts, jack up car etc) to that, if i can pay someone 30-50$ to do it for me, while i work for 1h, making +100$.
do you think ppl like rocket scientists or brain surgeons are not building their own pc/doing oil changes etc, because they lack the mental capacity to do so?
btw:
only in america are ppl told to come in for tire rotation (and most charge them money).
any uneven wear on tires means you need an alignment and probably suspension (or related) work.
dont know anyone in germany/europe that ever done/needed it, and most drive low profile tires on larger rims thatn in the US,
not even talking about that most have/had directional tires, so you cant even "rotate" them around.
and since front/rear arent the same width, it even prevents swapping front<->rear.
