Guys should I just build my own gaming rig or just buy the new Razer Blade 2014? I have the money but is it really that worth it?

here are the specs of the rig i'm planning to build:

i5 4570
Sapphire r9 280x Dual X
8GB HyperX ram
Asus H83M-E
Corsair CX 600W

Really appreciate the replies guys.

Building it will be waaaaaay cheaper, plus probably more power. Better cooling. Razer Blade seems like a waste at $2500 but that might just be me. For $2500 You could build a monster machine with sli/crossfire and probably still afford a custom water loop kit lol.

I'd suggest something like this, and then get a 2560x1440 monitor. It will be beast, and will blow that Razer laptop away by miles.
