So, I'm dumb as shit when it comes to computer now. I'm operating with some family Christmas money and would like to keep things under a grand if possible. Basically what I wanna do that requires power is being able to game up to running a dolphin emulator well enough, graphical setting higher than like 720p really don't matter to me, if I can run some sorta newish PC stuff at lower graphic ends fairly smooth that's perfectly fine just wanna play new Vegas on PC with mods for the first time level. Also being capable of some light video/sound editing would be cool. Plz don't get too into the weeds here, I'm so behind on stuff it's kinda funny.
The only critique I have of this build is that I would get a power supply with a 10-year warranty. If the company offers a 10-year warranty it's generally a pretty well-built PSU. If the PSU dies it can take the whole system with it.
I personally just stick with Seasonic. Or some other known OEM of PSUs. MSI is just rebranding someone else's PSU. Doesnt mean its bad. It could even be seasonic.
I dont even know if seasonic is still good fwiw.
The Apevia in these builds only has a 3-year warranty which doesn't give me confidence in its durability. Most people use the same PC for 5+ years. I want the PSU to last.
