Rebuild it back in PPP/PcPartPicker and compare it, if its 100$ more, it is indeed, a rip-off

I tend to say 100-200$ for builders cost.

X99, i7 5820K paired with a 960?! 

The price is a bit too high, but you pay for warranty and service too.

 

But dat config though!

And 8GB DDR4, what kind of PC is this?!

This is more like an editing PC, rather than gaming

100$ seems pretty fair for assembly... Many boutique builders have like 500+$ premiums.

Yeah, No. That's not how it works in the industry. You may think that it only takes what an hour to build and test a computer? Well a trained technician can make upwards of $50 and hour.. Nevermind the testing, that's just a bare build, no OS.
