Question What are your opinions on this ABS Gladiator pre-built?

[HungryHiker]

Been looking at making a serious upgrade to my gaming system and came across this ABS Gladiator on Newegg for $1550

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali463/p/N82E16883360048

I ran a benchmark with as much info as I could get from the specs page and this thing seems like a monster, but I'm not too savvy on hardware so I was hoping I could get y'alls opinion before buying something like this.

Userbenchmark PC Build Comparison
Baseline Bench: Game 141%, Desk 94%, Work 144%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X $305
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 $500
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB $143
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 3000 C15 2x8GB $90
MBD: Asrock B450M Pro4 $79
Total: $1,117

I also tried to piece it together on PC Part Picker and it was like $300 more to build myself.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

If you do go on PCPartPicker, you'll see that choosing the bottom of the barrel sort of hardware does tend to get you a lot in a defined price point. The question is, if you want quality, you should pay a little more and hand pick the parts, you also get an idea of what is going into your system as opposed to leaving a lot to guess work for prebuilts.

The other thing to note is that prebuilt's tend to cut corners in order to make a profit, then yo factor in labor and then the parts, so that makes you wonder how much that part has been sourced for in the first place.

Might want to go through this thread and perhaps give us some more information and we could build you something similar...?
