Wow not bad at all.

I tend to agree with the above, however this isn't "really" a Prime Day build with parts coming off Newegg, is it?

You could think of Prime Day as the name of the day(s) rather than an Amazon-specific event. Amazon's such a big retailer that them having a set day like this can affect how other retailers time sales.

AFAIK, Best Buy called it their Mid-Summer Black Friday event.
Other places refer to similar sales as counter Prime Day sales event.
It's not even a day anymore.

call it what you will, but this is still a pretty good build for the money.

nicely done.

That's not an $800 build, it's missing keyboard, mouse, and monitor. But good system nonetheless.

Just like "Black Friday" is actually the label for 1 Nov -> 31 Jan.
