No prebuilt will ever be a good deal, but that one's not great even for a prebuilt. A 1600w PSU for a 3930k and a 780? That model is for running four of those cards at the same time.

I've also read that they send out broken shit all the time and beat around the bush until your warranty expires.

Whatever, you do, Build it youself! It'll be lots of fun! Don't' let someone else steal that fun for you! I know he's probably not being serious, but still build it yourself!

^^This. I'm on my first build atm, and it's loads of fun and pretty educational (two things that usually don't go together..). It's really fun for me to challenge myself to find a good/great deal for every part I buy. So far I've turned a $1400 PC into a $1000 one just from deals.

I totally recommend building your own PC.
