What does everyone think of this deal? Or should I build on my own?

    Have you priced up what it costs to buy individually? I've always built my own machines, but in recent times, its almost not worth doing it yourself - sometimes not always…

      Its about $70 (incl shipping) more from virco prebuilt. Not accounting for shipping for all the individual components.

      I guess also the question is will the GPU and CPU stock and prices levels be better in a few weeks time?

        add shipping and dicking around to buy each piece from 10 different stores - wouldnt it cost more than 70?
        Not sure what the support is like from Virco.\

        also is there a discount code for that machine on the board here anywhere??? have a search

    Good deal. The 5900x is roughly $870rrp but best local price currently is around $950. The msi 3070 is circa $1k.

    You can just use pcpartpicker to assess the premium you’re paying for a pre-built too - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/

    Definitely quite good if you can get it shipped fairly quickly/confirmed stock availability

    I'm curious to the purpose of this system, do you do video editing or something?
