Is it Overpriced?

Hi there! I am from Canada and I always wanted to switch from gaming laptops (yes shhh it's only GTX1050ti) to a full-Gaming desktop. Since after my credit went down due to stupid decisions (now solved), my only available option is this site. Is it worth it? I was comparing it to the BLD from NZXT and I feel like I'm getting robbed before tax. Thanks people! By the way I wanted to finance this. :)

Looks pretty expensive too me, should be probably a $1000 US  or sth. along those lines excl. monitor. And 144hz+ 1080p with a 2700 doesn't seem the best idea to me

Here's basically the same system but from separate parts- it's 600$ less.

I probably wouldn't get any of these parts aside from the case

(This is Canadian PCPartPicker, so CAD pricing)

 

I have just kinda loosely chosen some parts. But here you have a newer CPU, newer GPU (both with more performance), larger SSD, larger HDD, not as much RGB though, no free Avast included though, plus the system specs you listed are specs for a PC you will build, right?

Not to nail you down in a coffin, but maybe buying a 2000$ pc isn't the wisest decision? Especially if you have to finance it.

Wait until you have money to afford parts and buy them from retailers like amazon, newegg, mem ex, etc.

 

This company is ripping you off

@Jurrunio I wouldn't get such a small monitor, it's very uncomfortable to use. There's no point getting a $2000 PC if the monitor can be run very well on one that's 3/4 the cost.

upgrading to 1440p will mean downgrading the graphics card though, and at that point the frame rate wont really go past 80fps in many games. I dunno, I play AAA titles mostly so hardware comes first.
