I need some advice on a prebuilt PC I was quoted for 1195 euros. Here's the parts list: R 24 Micro ATX case with tempered glass and RGB fans, 650W ATX 80 Plus Bronze PSU, Gigabyte H610M S2H V3 DDR4 motherboard, Intel Core i7-12700F CPU (2.10GHz, 4.90GHz Turbo, 12 core), Akari RGB CPU cooler, 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz RGB RAM (expandable to 64GB), 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 SSD, PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GPU, and Windows 11 Professional. I'm not sure if this is a good deal or not. What do you think?

For the price, you're likely just paying for the assembly. The parts themselves should only cost around 400 euros. It's not terrible for basic usage, but definitely not for a gaming PC. I’d suggest you consider saving more, or checking out some better deals in the market.
This setup is decent for basic tasks but if you're into gaming, you need something stronger. Streaming or high-performance gaming would really outpace this hardware. I'd skip it and look for either used parts or save a bit more to buy something with a 4 or 5 series GPU.
Honestly, I wouldn't spend that much on this setup. The GPU and CPU are a bit outdated, making this more of an entry-level rig. Most of the parts seem to be older, and they're not really worth the 1200 euros they're asking for. You could probably find a similar setup used for half that price. I'd recommend exploring other options.
I think this is pretty overpriced. The components are all old stock, and while they might work fine for casual gaming, they're not going to perform well with today’s games. I'd suggest looking elsewhere or considering a laptop with better specs for a similar price.
Thanks for the insight! I’m definitely leaning towards exploring more options now.
Totally agree. For that kind of money, you should be getting newer components. It’s better to save a bit and look for more current hardware.
