New PC Build Feedback please!!!

[Brando718]

I am looking to get a new build since my old pc is 5 years old and most parts aren't for sale on my motherboard. I plan to use my gtx 980 in my new build. I priced out a build I'm looking to buy and wanted some feedback on the price and parts. The specs are the following:

This comes out to $1236. Please provide feedback on this build and let me know if I should change out anything. Moreover, the price seems good for what I'm getting but I also want feedback on the total price.

Thank you!!

It would be cheaper to build your own. It really isn't that hard.

Not a good suggestion if you're new to PCs.
The best option is to get together a bunch of parts, bring them to a local PC store and have them assemble it for you.
What is your budget OP and would you be okay with that?

I have built all my computers in the past. While I agree it can be cheaper depending on circumstances, it can also be much more of a headache if anything goes wrong. I am looking at cyberpower because of the warranties and because of the sales going on right now. I feel like if I price out this exact build it will be pretty close to the price they are offering.

If you could please provide information on the specific items I will decide if I want to build myself or buy from cyberpower. I mostly just want to know if this setup has any issues I may run into or if any of these parts are known to be bad.

I don't want to spend more then 1300 and I already have a GTX 980 TI that I will transplant.

Ah, okay.
That's plenty of cash.
Do you need peripherals/OS/headset/monitor included?
What is your current setup?
Specs too please.

my current computer is outdated and performance is getting worse which is why i want a completely new build (amd phenom from 2011). All I need is a new rig minus the video card. I have monitor and all other items. So looking for a build around 1200 that is EXCLUDING video card.

Okay, just checking, you do have a 144hz monitor yeah? xD

Here's the build, i've gone for a clean white and black theme, but let me know if you have any other preferences such as cases etc.
I put in the 400C because it's one of the nicer cases in white imo.

Hmm I don't think so. I have https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VE278Q/

Ah, okay, you haven't been getting the most out of your 980ti then.
Get the Asus VG248QE, 144hz is a huge upgrade from 60Hz and you'll definitely see a much bigger difference.
