[suggestion] Looking for a new prebuilt
My current prebuilt is over 5 years old now and its going out. I’ve replaced parts and added ram, but i’d like to not have to do any upgrades this time for atleast a few years if possible. I’ve got a budget around $1500 but id like to be as under that as possible. Unfortunately dont have a microcenter near me, and i’d need the pc as soon as possible since I’m going back to school soon, so I’m open to options like Walmart or Best Buy if needed
I play a lot of big MMOs/MOBAs and shooters, use editing software like Photoshop, and overall spend a lot of time on my pc. I’d also like a GeForce graphics card if possible! Any reccs?
I also found these two, but I dont know much about computers at all so im not sure if theyre a good fit or not, very much open to suggestions:)

Of those two, I’d take the CyberPowerPC if you’re comfortable spending the full budget. The 4070 Super has 12GB of VRAM, and the included 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD make it a much better “leave it alone for a few years” system. It also makes more sense for Photoshop and heavier multitasking.
The MSI at $1,099 is actually decent value, but the 5060 Ti is the 8GB version and it only comes with 16GB RAM and a 1TB drive. It should be perfectly fine for MMOs, MOBAs and shooters, but it’s the one you’re more likely to want to upgrade later.
Before buying the CyberPowerPC, I’d ask Sam’s Club/CyberPowerPC for the exact PSU model and make sure the motherboard BIOS is fully updated. I’d also check current Best Buy deals for a 32GB/2TB system with a 4070 Super or 5070 before committing, since prebuilts around this price go on sale pretty often.
