To sum this build up compared to the price in one sentence.
Hugely ripped off, not even worth 1k.

 

[mad_moxxi]

it would be cheaper to build correct?

 

[bananacue]

build it. Its really fun!

 

[mad_moxxi]

but would it be significantly cheaper

 

[bananacue]

yes

 

[legend001523]

I can give you a 1.5k build which will be 20-40 percent better

 

[mad_moxxi]

that would be really amazing thanks

Hey mad_moxxi, As others have said above me, it would be a lot cheaper and more fun to build it yourself! Many people think that building a PC is a hard, and taunting task but it isn't. I have built one myself, and I can agree with the many people that call it like adult legos. Everything is built so it makes it as easy as possible. If you ever wanted to learn how to build a pc, I would highly suggest Newegg's series on it (Link at the bottom of the post). However if you'd rather not look into building your own PC then I would suggest trying to find a site that finds the lowest prices such as pcpartpicker.com. Anyways, hopefully you decide to build your own computer so you can save money and gain the large amounts of experience + knowledge. Hopefully I helped a bit and if you still have any other questions feel free to PM me, reply to this post, or tag me in another post.

PcPartPicker automatically checks to make sure all parts are compatible!

I disagree as you are basically putting all the money into the video card (gtx 780 ti). It is completely unnecessary unless you are using multiple monitors at high resolutions.

I disagree as you are basically putting all the money into the video card (gtx 780 ti) which would be bottlenecked by the other parts also it is completely unnecessary unless you are using multiple monitors at high resolutions.

Bottlenecked by?

 

[mad_moxxi]

i would like to have a little bit more power in the cpu in the way of ghz...

 

[mad_moxxi]

yeah the 780 ti is a little overkill at 700

Bottlenecked in the sense that you are spending so much money on it instead of spreading it throughout the parts.

I just plugged those parts into Newegg and got a total of, $1,531.84.

When an item didn't use a particular brand (the HDD) I chose the cheapest there was.

Where could I have spent the money to improve the fps in games?

 

[mad_moxxi]

thanks v0rtex that is a sweet build just worried about the power supply a little

No need to be worried. The build is estimated to use 436W, so you'll be good for a while until you start adding a lot of stuff such as SLI.

Spread throughout the build, such as an i7, more RAM with less delay, and etc.. You can see what I mean in the build I suggested.

 

[legend001523]

why a i7? how would that imrove games? This is a gaming pc, not a workstation pc
