Hello, I have a question about this prebuilt http://www.microcenter.com/product/477352/G700_Desktop_Computer Prices seem to high for building one and this deal seems good . Are there any bad parts ?
Is this a good prebuilt ?

No, this PC can easily be built for far less than the price they are charging. Most pre-built desktops are total ripoffs, and you should just build one yourself.

It's a bit pricey but the concern with prebuilts is the fact that they typically cut corners with cheap motherboards and power supplies.

$100 more gets you a GTX 1080, better quality motherboard/PSU & more storage.

Doing a parts comparison, you're getting around a $100 discount by going with the prebuilt. I would almost certainly do a complete format and clean install of the OS, but the system itself isn't that bad.
