No because I got more for my money when I built mine my myself like a normal human being
>>
I prebuilt it before I started using it.
>>
Prebuilt, but I replaced the graphics card, PSU, and added 16 GiB of RAM
>>
building a computer isn't even hard, I know very unintelligible people who've built one themselves and don't know a thing about the specifications or how the hardware actually functions. The reason people usually purchase pre-built computers is either because they're too lazy to learn or too lazy to build.
>>
Started out with a prebuilt, but over time replaced everything but the hard drive.
>>
>>51863526
Yes, I am using a laptop at this moment.

Do you know what website you are browsing right now? This isn't normie country, anon
>>
>>51863635
What graphics card? I put a 750 Ti in an off the shelf computer and it ran pretty good considering. I don't imagine that's what you got considering it only needs a 300W power supply and I believe most pre-builts would come with that that.
>>
A refurbished thinkcentre. It's the only good pre-built.
>>
>>51863711
R9 280X. Got a 700W power supply for it. I realize it's probably a little overkill but I want to be set for a while
>>
>>51863742
>TDP: 250 W

WUT

>>51863742
No power supply is overkill for AMD.
>>
>>51863635
Same
>>
>>51863758
I remember reading somewhere that the recommended PSU for the 280X was actually 700W. I was actually worried it wouldn't be enough
>>
>>51863526
>prebuilt
No, I'm not a degenerate.
Being a casual or not into computers at all isn't even excuse anymore as there are many possibilities to let someone build you a decent one. Most likely even a shitty custom built PC will be better than any prebuilt ever.
>>
>>51863810
Those manufacturer ratings are pure insanity. Recommended PSU wattage for my 290 is something like 750W, but even under 100% CPU and GPU load, with both of them overclocked, it won't pull more than 550W from the wall on an older 80+ unit. Not 80+ gold, silver or even bronze, just 80+.
>>
>>51863810
Unless you put in crazy stuff, SLI or whatever in your PC you will be good with 500-550W.
>>
>>51863849
Yeah 750 that's what mine was too.
I've never ever come anywhere close with a 700W power supply, but hey at least when I finally upgrade my CPU I'll be set

I actually originally posted here on /g/ when I realized that I bought a 700W instead of 750W since I thought it wasn't going to be enough
>>
>>51863526
Desktop no.

Laptop and HTPC yes (chinkpad and roku box).
