    Yes that a good price if it's all brand new parts
    but note the CPU is a generation old

    This is ok, but highly reccomend an SSD, also you did not include OS, i recommend 16GB of ram instead of the 8, you'd be surprised how much un-optimised software just chews through that, (looking at chrome).

    When purchasing mobo, don't buy "gaming" there is a higher price tag with the same features as ones that aren't branded gaming, also remember to see what the mobos RAM speed is, then select your ram that doesn't exceed that.

    The specs don't cover PSU as well.

    If this is prebuilt, you can do this yourself cheaper however warranty is nice, just if you can add on more things to pre-builts that does not void warranty.

      With GTX 1060 prices atm you cant do it this cheap right now.
      16GB ram is nice but not quiet mandatory to game just close browsers etc

      SSD can always be added later

    Where are you getting this from?

      IT shop at Westfield.
      Mind you they had this on special and wanted to check if it's really a special price.

        Nice can you give me any more details on the ship or if they deliver.. just checked pcpartpicker and this is a pretty good build for 1080p gaming.. I realised my dreams of playing in 4k 60fps ultra were just that dreams. I would have to wait three more months or maybe four to afford an ultra pc desktop tower alone.
