Well, guess what?  I lied.  I'm not getting a new PC in 2019.  I'm getting it this month.  I just pulled the trigger on one through Newegg.  Similar to the one I posted the link to, it's the:

Lenovo Gaming Desktop Legion Y520T-25ICZ (90JB003HUS) Intel Core i5 8th Gen 8400 (2.80 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

After tax, I paid $685.  Yes, there are more powerful systems out there, but it's much newer and faster than what I have now while not breaking the bank.  Now, I'm looking at an ASUS monitor that's going to run me about $140.  Any other suggestions?

So was the PC a good buy?  And how does it compares to the one I originally looked at:
