Acer, Dell, and HP.... Avoid at all costs. Even if you're just trying to score an "ok" GPU, they usually ship with a custom model that has that manufacturers specific ROM dragging it down. (Also may or may not have adequate cooling)

I've had good luck with CyberPower and CUK (Computer Upgrade King). You are usually going to get a good value there, and they build quality systems. iBuyPower used to be good, but their quality control has been dropping lately. Still a good choice if you're mostly looking for components though.

You can also take the route of build-to-order systems like NZXT, Build Redux, Digital Storm, or Origin. (There are probably others. This is just want I could think of off the top of my head.)

employee monitoring softwareJayz did a vid on things to check/avoid recently as well.

 

You know the GPU situation is bad when Jay makes a tutorial on how to buy a prebuilt 😅

I've built every PC I've owned since I was 12, but man it's tempting to go pre-built for what I need right now....

 

Watching Jay's videos made me realize one thing sooner than later : no matter the industry, companies will always find a way to screw you over and make more profit off of you, the sooner you realize this, the better it will be for you as a consumer since you will be able to notice those schemes and work around them whenever it is possible. Shop wisely peeps!
