Hello, i have been looking for a new computer setup and was looking at an ibuypower pc with a core i7 and gtx 980 4gb but a few forum posts say that the company overprices computers and ive even seen people talk about parts being taped and hot glued onto the mobo. i wanted to get prebuilt because im not very skilled at putting computers together and im worried ill mess up and im not sure i can afford to have best buy put a whole computer together, so i went searching around and i found a build that seems to have everything i was looking for and its about 300$ under my budget heres the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zHLtFT

there's some more specs if the link doesn't work. part picker says there's no issues with compatibility, but is that true because though its under budget its still quit a bit of money if something doesn't work and fries the motherboard or just doesn't work. anyway thanks for reading this post and if there's a better build for under 1600 pls tell me.
