That's a very good build, but this looks like a pre-built computer from a custom build OEM. Are you building this yourself?

Yeah it is but I was thinking I could build it myself if it needed improving. I saw it on this website.

850 actually is not bad at all. Using similar parts brings the price up to about 760 (to build yourself).
