Hi guys, this is the link to the pc i'm looking at getting

http://www.mwave.com.au/product/vox-eminor-50-intel-gaming-pc-ab58447

It looks solid on paper but i'm new to pc gaming to be honest, is it a good buy?

Also i currently have an alienware x51, it's a good little pc but it's too hard to update but would also be a shame to let it gather dust. Would it be worth stripping it and adding extra components like its hard drive and graphics card to this new pc?

Its a decent PC but way overpriced at $2100. Here are the exact same components and how much it would cost to build it yourself:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor ($286.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI H97 GAMING 3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($115.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($124.98 @ Newegg)

The real question is, do you think its worth paying an extra $800 for someone else to build this PC for you?
