Build it yourself.

I'm bad at it, and they will give me 3years warranty. what do you think about the build?

I mean it's overkill a bit for what you want to do... plus you're over paying about 600 dollars maybe more for it... but then again that's how they make their money

if you have a lot of money then go for it lol. Otherwise build it yourself. Slomo's build is better than their build anyway by a large margin

Also just get 3570k
