So I recently put up a post of a build I was going for and got a really good edit of it. But now I heard about the Newegg part bundles and thought I'd check them out. I found a few around my budget and compared them a little, but not knowing too much about the parts I couldn't tell what the differences were.

Here is the build I got together: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zs7GHN
And here is the Newegg one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3135565

So hopefully someone can tell which one is better. Also having the problem of living in Finland, not all sites deliver stuff to Finland like Amazon in some cases. So ordering all the parts from Newegg would be nice since they do deliver to Finland, plus the shipping would be really cheap and parts would arrive around the same time

Your I5 is the new kaby lake while the Newegg I7 is the older Skylake. Newegg specs a B1 power supply that is no good. Yours is better. Also the SSD as already mentioned.

Your Gigabyte is a better quality video card that the Zotac. I like your build overall for brands, quality, etc... It's very similar but at the exact same pricepoint yours gets the edge.

Sometimes you can get bundles like motherboard/cpu combos from newegg and save a few bucks. Lets say the I5 with a particular motherboard. Choose that board and you save $15 or so. Or sometimes a PSU with a part to save a few bucks. It might not be the exact Seasonic you speced but it might be a good PSU and save you a few bucks. You have to check newegg at the time of...

The main difference is the i5 in your build vs the i7 in the bundle. The bundle also uses a lesser quality PSU and doesn't have the SSD. If you're mainly going to be gaming, I would stick with your build. The i7 might give you better FPS in a few games, but the i5 will still run them well.

You have to check newegg at the time of purchase and see if and combos are available that interest you, or maybe some sales. Building your own combo this way is better than getting the entire system as a combo and being stuck with their parts.

Awesome! Im going to with that build then. Only problem is... Newegg or really none of the places on PcPartPicker ship to Finland so I have to order those components from a German site (its much cheaper there than other Europe countries but still more expensive than Newegg or some of those sites) and the RAM isnt on that site. BUT I did choose 8gb of ram still and a different case (more expensive aswell) . It should be all good in my budget though. My absolute max is definetly 1500 and all the shipping is really expensive so it will do fine at least for now
