My old rig is getting on in years, so I decided to look into a new rig. Originpc is the only company I've found, so far, with a case that can invert the motherboard, which is great for me as my case always sits on the left of my desk. I guess I'm just here asking for some input into this rig setup, maybe alternates or if it seems a decent system.

This sounds WAAAAY over priced for a 7700K, and a 1070...FOUNDERS EDITION. Free SSD? Sure. The only reason I can think of is the life time warranty, but it will just grab parts off the shelf and replace them. And I don't get the inverted thing since you will still have to do the hardwork and mount he motherboard.

You can build this and save for a better monitor. The whole point of this list is to show that you are wasting money with this. The case I went with is modular and also has wireless charging. Just for giggles, I threw in a 1080 ti, which is brand new.
