What price is it for? It's not balanced at all. I see prebuilts like this all the time. They put an expensive processor like the I7-6700 with a cheap low-end GPU like the GTX 960. It's just not sensible. Even if the prebuilt was the same cost as building it yourself, you could tweak the rig to get a better gaming experience for a better or cheaper price. The PSU is also poor quality.

The raw worth of that rig is about $750 based off my head. What are they charging for it?

That is a horrible computer. In terms of optimization, the PSU is fairly crap. It is a low quality PSU unable to deliver clean power to your system. Also the GPU is an underpowered GPU in terms of that CPU. That CPU is one of the fastest available. The GPU however is mediocre. It can play most game son high. Maybe not due to 2 gb card. How much was that priced

Would you be okay with building one on your Own?

Really? It's about 1100$.

I guess it's much better to build my own, but I don't have a ESD wrist strap. :/

1100$ which is really pricey when I think about it.

The problem is that I don't have a ESD Wrist Strap. :/

This will perform better. Despite the 6600k, it has a GTX 1070. The SSD isn't bad like the other cheap SSDs. It's one of the best budget ones. Cooler you can switch to a cryorig h7 for 35$. Well consider some of this.
