Seems like a great deal - am I missing something?

Hey everyone,

I asked the other day about buying a new gaming pc, been shopping around a bit and I found this online:

https://www.game.co.uk/en/fierce-gobbler-gaming-pc-fast-intel-core-i7-7700-4-2ghz-240gb-ssd-2tb-hdd-16gb-ram-gtx-1080-8gb-2229683

It's a PC for £1295.95, with a pretty horrid case. Otherwise the stats listed are:

◾Processor: Intel Core i7 7700 3.6GHz (4.2GHz Turbo), 4 cores
◾Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB
◾Memory: 16GB of DDR4 Memory running at 2133MHz
◾Storage: 240GB Solid State Drive, 2TB Hard Drive
◾Power Supply: 700W
◾Available Rear Ports: 2x USB3.0, 4x USB2.0
◾Triple monitor support
◾Operating System not included

Again, I don't know too much about these things, but that seems like a good deal, am I right?

Thanks, BB

Same price, but no crap.

No operating system, and just a quick glance at that case is going to give me nightmares for a month!!!

Lack of specific brands for the components is a worry; especially the significant omission of the motherboard brand or model number..
