PC Upgrade from Newegg?

[Knoxtane]

Saw this interesting "Gaming" PC when I searched "Gaming PC" on Newegg.

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-001U-001K1?Item=9SIAZEBKBB0772

it comes with the following.

• CPU: Intel i5 11400
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 730(CPU Integration)
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
• SSD: 1TB M.2 SSD
• CPU Cooler: air cooling
• PSU: 350W

Now, the i5-11400 is faster than my i7-8700 SLIGHTLY, but I would throw a i7-11700 inside and the 350W PSU is completely fine as I'm running off a 210W right now with my RTX A2000. Both the i7-11700 and the i7-8700 draw the same amount of power, 65W, my GPU pulls around 70W to 75W, the max being 75W so even if both pull the max wattage that's only 140W, plus RAM, SSDs maybe 160 or 170.

I also have never seen this type of case before and I think it looks pretty unique. Slim, professional looking and very different.

Oh snap, that's actually pretty sweet... that'd be a cool case to build in for a HTPC

I selected a corsair 2000d airflow for this duty and initially put a 790 itx motherboard in it with a 14700k until the chipgate happened again and i deadlined it pending updates or switching to amd again after i got a 5900x in 2021. The 7900x3d is a screamer in RPCS3 relative to the 5900x.

God PC prices are really nuts. After getting screwed over with prices in 2021, I will be keeping my 5800X / 6800XT build for a long time lol.
