sorry about that its 500

then seems to be a old pc upgraded in 2017, if you can get it a bit cheaper, would be great, consider that the 1070 alone costs around 200, so if you can get it at 450, sounds good to me, wait to see if someone else comes with a better opinion or a better deal

I don't think that's super great at 500 but the 1070 is pretty redeeming and you could definitely do worse. Honestly with all those accessories it's probably worth it but I don't really value those at anything. That build is certainly better deal than whats in my area.

I'm ambivalent. There's no bad decision to be made on this, because it is a reasonable price for a not-shit system. It's not a bad deal, but it's gonna look a whole lot worse in a couple of months after the kicks have all been worked out of these new product releases. If you can hold out for a little while longer so you can really lowball the hell out of someone, I'd do it. A baked potato can run Siege in the meantime.

gtx 1070 founders,.... 120gb ssd boot drive

its the founder edition and too tiny ssd....

you will regret getting one of these

[goto10]

the ssd is just to install windows, steam and other stores will use the hard disk, this way that 120 ssd will go basically unused, that is how i use mine, 70 gbs free

 

the founders, yes, might be a problem with noise, those fan blower style gpus are really noisy sometimes

personally id save and wait for the $800 it offers future protection if you ever wanted to play stuff besides siege, note prices change very often 1 month from now and the $800 maybe a $750 build or even a $700.

Buying cheap now means you spend more later.  You are not going to recover all of the cost from your "cheap" build parts.

 

The $500 system the OP mentioned is well worth $500, and can run Ryzen 3000 chips from what I have seen.
