well it sounds like a pre fabricated system I hope your not overpaying for it.

1) What does the ViBox Evolution Gold Warranty include ??
2) Is the SSD a standard SATA or a M.2 Drive ?
3) That Tl-WN88-1D WiFi card is a crappy 2.4Ghz old generation, known to have driver issues with Windows 8.1 and 10 and rarely gets over 75-100Mbs rates, I hope your not planning to rely on that wifi card to game with your pc.
4) and there is zero information about the power supply. so I would be very worried about that.
5) what is your budget and location (country)?

1) The gold warranty includes life-time repair and upgrade labor, I will only have to pay for the components. Also includes a 2 year insurance should anything stop working.
2. It is a standard SATA
3. I plan on using the WiFi card as an ethernet cable is not an option, I don't mind buy a WiFi adapter if needed. My upload/download is like 10 mbs anyways, so will it matter? (Sorry for the stupid questions)
4. This is the PSU: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=210-GQ-0750-V1
5. My budget is 1000£ (Denmark). This system is prebuilt, but I selected the components myself from options, it cost me around 1000£

Look if it works for you , good, but personally I think your wasting money. below I made a setup of components I have found and for 1191 Euros I have a better motherboard, twice the ram, twice the size SSD M.2 is 3 times faster than standard Sata SSD drive), a 1070 TI instead of a standard 1070 a much superior Wifi Card. sure you would have to build it yourself and there are just the manufacturer warranties, but you could bring the parts to a shop and ask them to built it for a minimal cost.

Thank you so much for that list! However, I reckon I'd be looking at hefty sum for all the shipping costs to Denmark. All in all, I do realize that it's far more expensive to have someone build it for you, but building it simply is not an option.

Btw the total the PCPartPicker lists is in pounds, so it's about 200£ more expensive than the system I bought, does the prebuilt seem like a better deal given this?

My apologies, I changed the selection country from England's to Germany and had to make some changes, your quite right the prices are expensive for ram and ssd systems.. here is a revised , so 8GB ram, only 250GB drive but remains M.2 port, and a great little dual 5.GHz Wifi card 1180 euros

The price are more to give you an indication what "more": you could be getting.
yes you pay for built and service when you get prebuilt.

I am looking at Denmark web sites that build system for people but all prices are in Danish Krone so 1000 euro for 7500 Krones I found nothing even close to the price your got quoted .. nice job btw. (Danish web site average 12,000 kr for similar system you got quoted)

Thanks for the revised list!

Yeah the prices for prebuilt systems in Denmark are absolutely ridiciolous, luckily I found a british site that offered the specs i listed at a very reasonable price (the fact that it is prebuilt weighs heavily along with the guarantee and insurance).

I have two more questions, if you dont mind: Given the prices on the system I linked and the prices in general, would you say this is fair price given it is a prebuilt system? Also, how do you think these specs would manage some of the newest titles, fortnite, pubg etc.?

Btw, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out!

its a decent price for your country indeed. it is was America, it would not be so, but in your case after reviewing, weaker systems with 1050 selling for 12,000 Krone's I would sa y your deal is a steal with the 1070.

your system will do nicely with most games you will have even Pubg I have a 4790K /1060 and I get 110-130FPS on pubg @ medium Settings. so you will be fine.
