I've been thinking about getting a new desktop for the past year or so, and I had been planning on building my own desktop since all of the pre-built desktops were either more expensive than building my own or lacked the power that I was looking for. However, I will admit that I wouldn't mind having my desktop built and ready to roll (especially since I'm paranoid of messing up building my own).
I was all set to start buying discounted parts today (black friday), but then I stumbled upon this pre-built desktop that had the video card I wanted (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970) and was a pretty reasonable price! Here's the pre-built: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-white/4585900.p?id=1219773226138&skuId=4585900
The computer I was thinking about building comes from the following suggested build from pc-part picker (with a few small superficial changes like a cheaper keyboard and mouse): https://pcpartpicker.com/b/RfCypg
In the end of the day I plan on using my desktop professionally as a graphic designer (Adobe Suite, maybe some video editing) and for gaming (I want to be able to run recently released games on high settings).
I would really appreciate some feedback on whether the pre-built is a good deal, I'm definitely not very good when it comes to figuring this sort of stuff out. I'm also more than happy to supply more information if you need it. Thank you for your help!
