Is this a good setup for the price? This is somewhere in Europe. A tech shop that allows you to choose your hardware and they assemble it for you.

I mainly want to play older and indie games on it. Some video editing as well, possibly. Current rig is a crappy pre-built which overheats like crazy, practically impossible to do any gaming on it. TIA for any answers.

    That’s way overkill if you just want to run old games and indie games IMO. What’s your current specs? Maybe it would be better to just spend a but upgrading your current rig and fixing the cooling issues.

      Can’t upgrade my older rig, it’s an Acer pre-built and I watched a Youtube video about trying to upgrade it. Guy had to cut something out from the back to make room for the new GPU. Current specs are Geforce GTX 1080 Super and 16 GB of RAM. Runs hot and loud as all hell when I try to do some gaming on it. Regarding this new build, I also want to do some video editing, hence the higher specs.
