Do you overclock the CPU? What kind of things do you want to do with your computer? Do you really need an optical drive? Basically all the basic question on this thread~

Mine is better in terms of the motherboard and GPU.

Mine in terms of case, PSU and monitor. 

[nsyedhasan]

Mine in terms of case, PSU and monitor. 

Case maybe be better. PSU is the same but non-modular. Monitor is larger but is shiny.

it's glass so it does not really matter. Also it has a tiny bezel and that is amazing. And modular is better bro.

It does because if you have a light you can't see much. Mine has a tiny bezel as well. Not when you have an ATX case, you can strap it to your drive cages.
