Hi All,

I am wanting to buy a PC (first one in 10 years) as i've been just d2 or console (xbox) but now i have some money spare im open to buying a pc but all the premade's in New Zealand seem to be well overpriced for what you get.
I have an opportunity to purchase a PC from our ebay version in NZ for $3000 nz for the rig without monitors or headphones.

here are the specs

MOBO - ASUS P9X79 Pro LGA-2011 X79
CPU - Intel i7-3930K SB-E Hex Core
RAM - Corsair Dominator GT 16GB (4x4) 1866mhz
GPU - EVGA GTX 1080 FTW 8GB
PSU - EVGA SuperNova 1200w Platinum Plus
SSD - Samsung 1TB 850 EVO
HDD - Western Digital VelociRaptor 10,000 RPM 1TB
HDD - Western Digital 4TB Black Edition

Corsair Vengeance K70 Fully Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Corsair Vengeance M65 FPS Laser Gaming Mouse
Corsair Vengeance C70 Case (Has the odd scratch here and there)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance CPU Cooler (240mm Radiator)
Corsair SP120 High Performance Radiator Fans
Corsair AF120 High Performance Case Fans

will this hold up playing pubg on the highest specs ? i've attempted to calculate how much it all cost and its well over 3k NZ is there anything i should be worried about ? i have asked a mate who said this would be perfect for playing games such as pubg,overwatch or csgo would this be correct?.

cheers in advance for any input, is there any clear upgrades needed?

okay, that's a fair price then

however, 6 year old used mobo and on some parts. would get something brand new if i were you spending that much money
