To start off I know it's gonna be more expensive because it's pre-built. It's just easier for me to get pre-built because I have a tremor in my hands and my fine motor skills are pretty bad. I live in Australia so the price is in AUD. I'll primarily be using it for gaming and a bit of VR gaming here and there.

Last-gen CPU, not very good airflow, cheap power supply, overkill cooler, and strange storage configuration. Board is decent and would get the job done, but nothing to brag about.

 

Check out pre-built system reviews from Gamers Nexus for a better idea of what you should be looking for and avoiding 🙂

How badly do you want that 3070, because that's about $750 in parts without the GPU. In other words, they're charging at least $1200 for a 3070, which is basically the same as you could get it from a filthy scalper on eBay.
