Just curious as to what you guys would value this comp at?

2 MSI GTX 970 4gb Graphic Cards
MSI Gaming 970 Motherboard
2 8GB Kingson HyperX Fury Black RAM sticks = 16GB
Western Digital Black 1TB HardDrive
BenQ XL2411z 144hz 1ms Gaming Monitor
2 Cooler Master 120mm fans
1 140mm case fan
Corsair AX760 Power Supply
Asus 24x optical drive
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8 core processor
Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 Mid Tower Case
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Fan

I'm curious as I have a better spec'd comp with a newer CPU and crappy case/psu and a better GFX card in my cart might just be best to purchase and build it myself.

Thats the one I have priced out just at 700 bucks the reason I ask is the guy is asking 800 bucks for the setup above. One of the GFX cards is brand new in the box the MSI GTX 970 OC edition. Wondering if its best to buy that setup since it comes with 2 GFX cards and a monitor or to just purchase mine that I have on my list.

you can stay with your current build but id change ur cpu if ur not gonna overclock with that mobo u selected seems a waste. also the 4gb 480 faster and better value than the 3gb 1060 and wont hit the 3gigabyte vram limit.

Yeah honestly there is no plan to OC the computer at this time and I was thinking of going with the 480 instead aswell. You just made my decision that much easier. So what mobo/CPU with the rx480? The AsRock one you linked along with the 6500k or the 6600k?

hmm if you arent gonna overclock you can go with the 6500 and stick with your motherboard you chose if was me id go a bit higher quality.

that would work honestly id get the asrock for 20-30$ since it supports alot more memory frequencies. id get the 6600k but the 6500 is a fine challenger

For the price of that rx480 im probably just going to eat the extra 40 bucks and upgrade to this.
