It's like $200-$300 overpriced, but whatever floats your boat.

Youll need a new power supply as well.
the one in there is a 350 watt.
I would also probably install an SSD in there as well, as a hdd at this price is pretty unfortunate.

as others have said, building yourself will shave off considerable costs, as we just did an i3/16gb/1070 build for 800 dollars

If you're able to work with parts, id get that instead.

just build your own, its like legos and all u need to watch is maybe a 30 min video which gives u step by step instructions on how to put it together. You won't damage any of the parts either, it's super ez.

You will get exactly what you want for cheaper and better performance/parts.

Just build your own man it really isnt that hard. I built mine 6 years ago & it was easy. Easier than picking up urbanshaft at the bar.
