Mine either but I'm not talking about price I'm talking about putting it together rather than it be put together by someone else. We really are two sides of the same coin huh.

It's a great pc OP!
The one thing I would seriously look into are the temperatures. Most prebuild manufacturers cut costs on the stuff that isn't in the specs. Mainly non standard mobo's, memory, power supply and/or cooling. It would be wise to stress test the pc for a good while seeing as the main components are so powerful and generate a TON of heat.
To the whole pre build discussion: I would personally, if I really didn't want to build myself, have gone to a local pc store, order parts myself and let them put it together at a fee. There's loads of information available on the internet. That way you stay away from shady parts like mentioned above and will walk away with a cheaper and mainly better PC.

Not only are you too stupid to articulate sentences, you obviously can't count either. Because you have no fucking clue what the build op bought would cost to build.

Looking over the specs, this PC was built with off the shelf parts. Even the power supply, which a lot of prebuilts go cheap on, is a solid MSI brand PSU. So this isn't like some proprietary Alienware nonsense, thankfully.
Link to specs:
MSI Gaming Desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Intel Core i9 13th Gen 13900KF (3.00GHz) 64GB DDR5 2TB HDD 2TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 M480 SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Windows 11 Pro Infinite RS 13NUI-422US - Newegg.com

there is a review of this PC saying the RAM speed is lower than advertised. Might want to check that in Task Manager when you get yours. Sometimes this is just due to a setting in the BIOS though. If not, you'll want MSI to replace the RAM sticks.From review:
"Cons: The spec sheet indicates that the RAM included are two 32 GB DDR-5200 sticks. The RAM I received with my system were slower, DDR5-4800 sticks."
Here is a link to discussion of this issue on a different brand PC:

understandable, though xenia is getting better by the day. you should also probably do a bit of research on those games, a lot of them have remasters on PC.

Im actually really excited to play some older games that are not bc, or at least available digitally on xbox, like lego lotr, batman arkham origins, singularity, and need for speed most wanted (2012)

congrats again OP. enjoy it for the next 4 to 5 years before you start upgrading parts to keep your PC at the top of the master race. if you do not you will be a sardine fish as far as the food chain goes lol.

Im so excited that im literally shaking. Not only is this my first gaming pc, but its also the most expensive thing ive ever purchased. Ive been a console pleb for the last 30 years of my life, what should I know going into this? I didnt buy a monitor because im hooking it right up to my 65 inch oled.
Here is the beast itself.
Im hyped as fuck to play cyberpunk with the rtx cranked all the way the fuck up. And to play portal rtx.
Respect.
Thats a build that you can upgrade with easily years later and you can get the swing of things.
I love gaming on a big screen too, but you should 100% get a monitor down the line lol, simply have both displays as some games don't translate well to the big screen.
If upgraded well, this can last you a decade plus lol
imho I wouldn't upgrade the CPU or GPU in 3 or 4 years, first see how that next gen would turn out with PS6 and XYBBQxXtereme. For all you know you literally could rid that gen with the same CPU/GPU combo.

Oh i did that, i essentially made a brag thread so i just wanted to show some self awareness even though im excited haha
Sure fuck face go get a prebuilt then don't know why I see a lot of opposition when it comes to building it your self as opposed to some building it for you but that's why they call it trouble shoot gaming for a reason.

No worries.
Over time you'll change enough things where you'll get it and as someone that has been building gaming PCs for over 15 years, its the easiest time to do it.
Its like adult Legos lol
If you take your time and follow some videos, you'll have it up and running faster then you think. For your first build, no worries on getting a pre-built. With the bullshit prices on GPUs right now, you might be better off as I'm hunting for a 4090 and to do a whole build myself, its literally cheaper to just get a fucking pre-built at this point with what they are charging.
So it depends.

Now mark down February 6th, the start of Steam's Nextfest, and be sure to play the Dark & Darker playtest (it's free) on Steam. That game will be your defloration to one of the best experiences PC gaming has to offer.

Awesome rig, Umbasaborne! This thread helped me pull the trigger on a prebuilt from Cyberpower. I got a similar build. Same CPU, RAM, and SDD but I got a 4070ti. Bought it outright for 3122 after taxes. I'm good with 1440p at 120fps for most games. Also, it's in a mini-itx case for easy transport since I do that often. Should be here before Hogwarts. All set to max out some Diablo 4 as well. I'm psyched!

Maybe maybe not. The dumbest thing people do is when they try to “ future proof “ a pc build. Things can and often do change drastically year to year. Of course you can still play games for years by dropping settings but if you are the type of person throwing down 5k on a gaming pc I doubt you would want to compromise that much down the line.
Two big things I can think of that are going to be taking off is RT and Direct storage. Both need lots of vram and rt hardware is going to do massive jumps in the next 3 years. I’m going to predict in three years the low range xx60 ti will meet or beat the 4090 RT performance.

Absolutely is imo, you don't get the highest end parts, that just released, and upgrade them 4 years later, especially since this generation of consoles has been slow to get really started; there is no way in hell 4 years from now his cpu/gpu isn't still absolutely crushing every game compared to their console performance. He won't worry for performance for a long long time.
Also he didn't "throw down" 5k on the pc, he said himself that this is kinda crazy and he doesn't have that kind of money so he's paying it off in installments.

Congrats OP, very excited for you if it is indeed your first gaming PC. The convenience is just unparalleled. I also have my PC hooked up to my LG Oled, older model tho so it doesn't have VRR ><
Just to weigh in about the price, 3 weeks ago I also bought a very similar PC from Cyberpower for comparison. I waited until there were just a ton of instant rebates stacked up. Was $3560 before tax, $3850 after tax (free shipping).

You wouldn't need a bigger power supply unless you were planning to upgrade the graphics card to something even more power-hungry, which doesn't yet exist.
You'll most likely need to remove the graphics card to install another SSD in a spare M2 slot, so I guess that's why they were charging extra for installing one at the shop.
Seems a bit cheeky to charge for overclocking, aka changing a couple of numbers in a text box in the BIOS, but overall that's great value for money for such high specs. Interesting looking case too.

Dumb question, but one of the first things i want to do is mod flying cars into cyberpunk. Ive never modded a game on pc before so what is that process like, is it simple? Do i need to worry about viruses or malware on sites like nexus mods?

Nexus is safe. The way to mod games can vary a bit but usually all you have to do is drag the files you've downloaded/extracted into the game folder, read instructions in the mod's page.
Apart from that, just be aware of compatibility and save issues. Some mods may not be compatible with the newest version of the game, or with each other. Other mods can also affect save files so once you install them, removing them in the middle of the game may break your save.

Just take your time and follow the instructions on the mod page. You'll get the hang of it in no time and then you'll realise you spend more time modding than playing in certain games *cough*skyrim*cough*.

Just a heads up, Intel motherboards are normally only good for two generations of CPUs as Intel tends to change their sockets every two years. This means you will most likely have to upgrade your motherboard before you can upgrade your CPU in the future.
