You could get a better deal building yourself, but if you're not comfortable with that, this build will definitely last 4 years. The 780 is a great GPU, and the 4670k, especially when overclocked, is a heck of a CPU.

Thanks, I will price it out on pcpartpicker, if it is a bit of a savings ill consider it. This would be my first build, I get a bit nervous about it. Sometimes just less of a headache to have it already made and ready. I would reformat it anyways when I got it but at least I do not have to worry about breaking any hardware.

I completely understand, believe me lol id be happy to throw something together for you as well if you like. Building yourself these days is quite easy, LinusTechTips and CareyHolzman on YouTube have great instructional walk throughs showing step by step and explaining.

Ok this is a bit of a savings. I switched up a little but does this still look good for the price?
