[Question] Pre-built the same price as a custom ?

[TheKingK]

Hey,

So today i bought a pre-built PC that i thought was a really good deal here are the specs:
LENOVO
i7 6700 (3.4GHz)
8GB DDR4 Ram (2133)
1tb HDD (7200RPM) + 120GB SSD
Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2G

Everything is upgradable.
And i was wondering how much it would cost to build the same system.
I got this pre-built on a 48h sale for only 899$ (CANADIAN DOLLARS) which is around 689$USD.

I really don't know much about building PC's so i wouldn't know which part to pick on PCpartpicker to match this build.

Please let me know how good this build is for the price!

Thanks!

Yeah, I think you got a very good deal. Best I could do on PCPartPicker is around 1000 CAD.

The PSU is kinda poor, and not what I would use. But pre-builts usually have sub par PSUs, so I thought it was a fair comparison.

Edit: according to the specs, the pre built also has a DVD drive and a wireless AC wifi adapter, which I'm missing from my build. So that would push the price up further.
