I'm new to gaming PCs and looking to spend around $800 to $900. I plan to play games like Battlefield 6 and GTA V, with GTA VI on the horizon, so I'm seeking recommendations on either pre-built PCs or anything specific to avoid. I've found two models: the ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming PC for about $800 and the PowerSpec G238 Gaming PC for around $880. Are there better options I should consider or specific specs I need to watch out for?

Could you share what games you plan to play? Are you going for a desktop or laptop?
If you're leaning towards the PowerSpec G238, it's a good choice since it has a newer platform with more upgrade potential. Both options will handle your games, but don't expect top-tier performance in terms of frame rates or visuals.
Totally get the struggle of building from scratch! Stick with a pre-built if you’re not comfortable. The ABS Cyclone is pretty reputable for entry-level gaming, and a lot of users have good experiences with it.
I see you're not interested in building your own PC, but just in case, here's a solid part list for around $870. It's worth checking out even if you prefer pre-built: AMD Ryzen 5 5600, compatible motherboard, 16GB RAM, and a decent GPU. However, if assembling isn’t your vibe, the pre-built models you mentioned are solid options.
I want to play Battlefield 6, GTA V, and GTA VI when it comes out. I’m looking for a desktop, and the two that I have in mind are the ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming PC for about $800 or the PowerSpec G238 Gaming PC for around $880. Can I post links with specs?
