Hello,
 
I have a similar story as MsKrissie. In fact, she's my wife. We both bought pre-built gaming computers within a month of each other, but unfortunately hers didn't last long. Our plan is to purchase a GPU so she can build hers first.  Then, I will re-build mine, utilizing a few parts from my pre-built. I figure I'll salvage the CPU and SSD. I plan on getting a new graphics card, power supply and motherboard from EVGA for mine since my research has led me to believe this company is of great quality and is dependable.

They have good customer service I have used them for more than 10 years. I am curious what prebuilt was bad?
I have a few hp omen prebuilts with liquid cpu cooling and 3060 ti cards they are decent.
 
I do like them over the alienware I purchased from best buy that one simply got far too hot so I returned it.

Hi Philipma1957,
 
I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I'm sure Dan will respond later to your comment, but he's at work right now. 
 
I didn't state what computer went bad originally, because I didn't want to sound like I was bad-mouthing a company. (My grandmother always taught me if you can't say something nice...) However, since you asked specifically, it was a HP Omen 25L, 11th Generation, i7, with a RTX 3060. From the moment I got it, the temps of the GPU/CPU were always running hot. I believe it was also underpowered. It really needed a bigger power supply. It finally just started shutting off on me constantly. Three days before the 90-day cut off period for the return window, I called the company I purchased it from and they ran me through some diagnostics and had me do a power drain, uninstall the graphics card driver, and then reinstall the driver. After that, it worked--- for 3 days. Just long enough to get past the 90-day return window. Luckily, I spoke to a very understanding manager and he returned it as a lemon. So, that's the story of my first gaming computer. 
 
I'm a longtime computer user--- back to my first CPM80. Yeah, I'm really dating myself there. As a rule, I've purchased HPs for years and have always had great luck with them. However, I have always used computers in a work productivity environment. I'm very comfortable with computers and working with them, so I'm really looking forward to building my first one. 
 
All the best, K. 

 
Glad you replied. The omen right now needs to have a platinum psu upgrade as an option and the cpu needs to be liquid cooled.
 
When you go for your build here as diy try for evga gold or platinum psu's

cases,  coolers, motherboards, ssds, cpus.
 
so many kinds to pick from.  Maybe someone else will chime in

Welp, I'm calling it a weekend.  Have a good one.

Thanks for the recommendation, Philipma1957.  The one I spec'd out, was originally the EVGA SuperNova GA 750w. Your recommendation is an upgrade, and totally worth the extra $20! I have updated my spec sheet. Also, I originally planned on installing fans into the build, but changed my mind and decided to go with a liquid cooling system. It is easier to install than I thought. I tore out a LC system this past weekend from an old computer and re-installed it with no problems. It gave me more confidence to go that route. 
 
As for my case, I already have that purchased. I bought the Razer Tomahawk ATX. (I hope I'm allowed to mention that on this forum) It is huge, but I love the glass panel swing doors on each side. I will start buying the rest of my build supplies once I can purchase the graphics card. I don't see any point in buying the other parts now and having them become outdated, as it may be awhile before I get the opportunity to buy a graphic card. However, in the meantime, it is fun to "virtually" build the spec sheet and plan it out. 
 
Have a great night, K. 

Guys, you did an outstanding job. This will be really beneficial!

your request to be notified with availability updates for product 12G-P5-3953-KR and this product was marked as being in stock on 9/24/2021 at 10:52 AM PST

Due to a extremely busy day at work. I missed the email and deadline until today. However I won a shuffle for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra. So either way I still got a EVGA product.

If you want the card from EVGA, just reply to the email you received (it should have come from ) and EVGA should get you sorted out with a new invite in a day or three. Best of luck.

 
I missed the Notification and send an email. Now i wait one week for an answer :(

Alright seeing that I have had an 3755-KL for about a month now and have registered it and not heard of any issues on that model, I am going to pull myself out from all ques. My closest notify is ~3 sec away.
 
Been really enjoying the 3755,  the 3755 was my primary choice from the beginning. It has been a hell of a ride. 
 
That said I will keep an eye on this thread.  
 

Congrats, it's a great card.

the last 10 yrs, I've only had custom built computers.  I like the option of having my own features instead of someone else's choice.   I've bought EVGA P2 series psu's the last 5 yrs. and they are great.  But with my new Ryzen 9 build.  When I had to put in my new gpu (3070 ti), I had to up the wattage.  No one had the platinum I wanted at a decent price.  As graphic cards, and everything else, power supplies prices are high also.  So I got the newer G5 850 psu.  So far it's great.  It's a lot cheaper than the platinum series.

@FighterGamer67
The G5 850 psu is what I was looking at. Is this model quiet? I see it has ECO mode. I noticed that EVGA also offers power supplies with slightly smaller form factor and fan size.

The G6/P6 series are the most recent series of psu, smaller then previous generations and quieter as well, not sure if it's in your budget though 🤔

Thanks for the tip. I have a feeling I'll have plenty of time to research.

is this the case for other AIBs apart from EVGA?

NVIDIA instituted this, so all chips shipped to AIBs are LHR except as noted, the 3090s.

@nomoss your skills at editing images is uncanny. Props.
