This pre-built PC seems a good price?

Well you are coming out cheaper building your own. Plus you still get warranty for each part, so it's not like you are losing out there. Building isn't hard I was nervous on my first build. Used two ESD straps, bought tile mat and wood table, and it took me about 2 hours for my first build. My second go around was around 35mins, becuase I was very much comfortable. Recently, I replaced my CPU and cooler in about 20mins. So it's not that difficult. Plus a plethora of videos on youtube.

Just want to make sure you have all the options to make the best choice. Also that savings can be used for games a great monitor. But if money is not object, then do what you got to do.

Most likely. Not to mention it's shipping and waranty as well. Why not just build your own? Also, that looks like overkill, and you are using the 1080 Ti FE? Why? Also your list didn't include Windows pricing.

Here is a great build for that:

Thanks for reply, I guess I'm just more comfortable spending an extra few hundred to have it properly built, like if anything went wrong as a result of me building it I'd definitely regret it.

I'm using a GTX 970 SC now, but this just seems too good a deal to pass up, from what I can see other pre-built PCs with these specs are like £2.5k+
