for games like that, it's an overkill @1080p (except for GTA perhaps), a PC with 1060 is powerful enough if overall the games u play are mainstream games like CSGO, Paladins, LoL.
U might say it's more expensive because: 1st the GPU right now is being affected by the mining craze, anything beyond 1050ti and below 1080ti are getting affected, 2nd Pre-build PC most of the time had some cheap component in it, in most cases they sacrifice the PSU Quality and lower down the Mobo series, after all, the company needs to have some profit too. While the mobo series ain't that much except for some lack of features, the PSU Quality REALLY MATTERS! if it's low quality, and then suddenly some problem occurs with it, it CAN bring down your whole rig, so keep that in mind when u're buying a pre-build. (u don't want to regret losing a 1500$ PC later on just coz of some cheapskate PSU)
Overall from what i see, apart from the overkill in mainstream games, the heavy AAA games like the new PUBG and GTA will benefit from 1070 (u can play them at ultra@1080p with fine fps), for the CPU, i personally prefer the new Ryzen, more cores/threads somehow affected the stability of the game, giving u less dips and stutters at the cost of minor max fps decrease, for streaming the Ryzen will be much better.
if u want to rethink about building your own PC, here's a spec for you to try:
Ryzen7 1700 (comes with a stock air cooler)
GTX 1070 (reminder: coz of mining craze, it's overpriced, the alternative is either the low 1050ti / high 1080ti)
a B350 Mobo (X370 if u're planning on SLI later)
small 120GB SSD for OS
2 TB HDD
tier 1 / 2 PSU with 550w 80+ gold at least ( for tier list:

NZXT S340 Black
Thanks I really appreciate your input. If you go to the customization tab on the website, you can see all the parts within the build and what brand they are. From the looks of it to me, they didn't cheap out on any MAJOR parts, but if you have some spare time i'd definitely appreciate you checking them out and giving me your input on that as well! My main attraction to this build is being able to have both the 1070 as well as the MSI Z270. When I was looking for parts for my custom built, I wasn't able to get both.
actually, i did check the specs
the mobo is cheaped out, coz the series wasn't a gaming series (didn't had the gamer's feature, but like i said, only lack of features, so it's fine)
the PSU is pretty much cheaped out, as u can see, they didn't tell u the brand, and they given u a 600w 80+, normal material, not bronze, gold, or platinum etc.
the 1070 can be cheaped out too, by giving u a founder edition (they didn't mention it too, whether its a FE or not right)
while 7700k is the king in the old games, u might actually just go with Ryzen, more core/threads, more futureproof, and it will bode well with fps stability and streaming
this is all my opinion though, to be honest, i can't say i didn't like what they offer, i mean, look at me and my rig, i BARELY managed to afford a 1050ti, and in my whole 18 years of life, i've never had anything better than the pentium that i had now as my CPU...
this is my suggestion as a fellow gamer, and as a PC peasant, better build one urself, cost u time? yes, but it's ur rig anyway... not too hard? don't think so, without any proper knowledge u can't... reliable? depends on your research, but it's sure as hell is better, coz u can choose your own part, create ur own, and ask other people about the specs and which brand is good just like what u're doing now...
again, this is all my opinion, no offense on cyberpowerpc / you, but they need profit too u know, if all the component are high quality + fine gaming material and they sell u at ~1500$, where did the profit come from? how can they pay their employees?
Edit: ok so i scroll down a bit, and found out that u choose everything by yourself, if so, it might just work out, but for the PSU, please, for ur own sake, find something branded, like the Corsair CX650M for example, much more trustworthy. and for the GPU, the one that u choose doesn't specify anything... just a plain GTX 1070 8 GB GDDR5, i personally rather pick the Asus OC for the extra 6$, other than that it's pretty solid. Overall, if u can choose what's inside your PC, that's technically PC building, not buying a pre-build...
