Yes, this is grossly overpriced for the computer you're getting. Here's a breakdown of how much the main components would cost (prices are current from Newegg or Amazon; if you wait for sales or coupons it will be even less):
Intel Core i7-7700 ($300)
Mini ITX H110 M/B ($70)
MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX 8GB ($390)
(comes with free download of Ghost Recon Wildlands or For Honor)
16 GB DDR4 2133 RAM ($100)
M.2 256GB SSD ($85)
1TB 7200rpm HD ($50)
EVGA 400W PSU ($30)
Windows 10 Home ($100)
Total: $1125
So you're paying >$300 for the specialized case.
I completely agree. There is some value in the extra cash the computer costs, but not enough that I would pull the trigger on it; although I tend to prefer the term frugal lol
What makes this an amazing deal? The MSRP isn't that much more with shipping factored in and it looks like this won't be shipped out until the end of May. Wouldn't it be better to just buy one of these from a retailer?
