So I've been spending the summer building and picking the perfect build for me, I've never done it before and I ended up with

but I was just searching amazon and I found this
https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Supreme-SLC8600A-i7-7700K-802-11AC/dp/B06XGXDXZF/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XGXDXZF&pd_rd_r=KPKZV1VT213RC7ATWV98&pd_rd_w=lOjAL&pd_rd_wg=DRR3y&psc=1&refRID=KPKZV1VT213RC7ATWV98
Which is a little cheaper and seems to be better? I'm not sure
Can any of you smart computer masters help a newbie out! I will be using this system for gaming and streaming! Thank you!

Although the price is about a $100 cheaper I wouldn't remotely consider it personally.

The problem is you have no idea what parts have been put in this machine. There are many places where corners can be cut. Cheap PSU's and low spec'd motherboards are common in systems like this.

I see it this way. If I'm going to spend $2000 dollars I'd feel better knowing I picked a system that can be easily upgraded, has quality parts, and is customized to my needs. Although you'll have some extra work in the sense of putting it all together but that process alone can be very rewarding.

I have to agree with lilje2020 : " The problem is you have no idea what parts have been put in this machine. There are many places where corners can be cut. Cheap PSU's and low spec'd motherboards are common in systems like this. "

You can add a 1080ti in your budget :

You wont see much difference in gaming with 3600mhz ram vs 3000mhz ( prebuilt system most likely have 2400mhz)
