So i have been building a new PC recently (haven't bought any parts yet) it is a budget build and it ended up being 8 dollars under my budget of 700 dollars, but last night i was browsing my local Best Buys internet page and it has a better CPU same GPU same RAM etc.... for only $669.99 if i add this processor and i take out the i3-7100 i will be playing around $760 so is this a better deal for the cost? (also the omen is VR ready)

The HP omens specs


Hard Drive: Capacity 1000 gigabytes
Operating: SystemWindows 10
Processor: Speed (Base)3 gigahertz
Processor: ModelIntel 7th Generation Core i5
System Memory: (RAM)8 gigabytes
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060

I'm no expert, but it looks OK to me except for the power supply. If that's the power supply for ~ £40 I would avoid it. I recently built my first PC and got great advice here about power supplies. It's something I wouldn't cheap out on.

Does it have an SSD, or is that 1TB drive a hybrid at least? I don't see myself ever buying a PC without an SSD - especially those M.2 ones, budget or not :/ The difference in performance/value is just too insane for the minor cost difference.

I would build it myself. The satisfaction of doing so is enormous. The others are right, the pre-built might have a cheaper power supply, motherboard etc. Its worth getting good quality parts. Can you post the full specs?

Sadly i am using amazon to build the pc so when i made a new one to try and top the hp omen i had to get rid of parts so this is based off of memory (i’m pretty sure this was the exact system other than RAM speeds)

intel core i3-7100 3.9GHZ
EVGA gtx 1060 3gb
corsair 8gb ram
ROSEWILL case
windows 10
EVGA 500 powersuply
Gigabyte B250-E GAMING (may not be exact but possibly the exact one)
1tb WB HHD

The 3rd or 4th answer is regarding the PSU's, I got great advice there.
