How does this look?

[TechN00b]

I'm not sure what I'll be using this computer for (I guess a little of everything). I want reliable parts from good companies like corsair. I'm trying to get a good bang for my buck meaning that If I was to buy one prebuilt, there should be a significant price difference. Any suggestions and estimates on how much this would cost if I was to just buy a pc with about the same specs?

From the little bit of experience I have it would probably be $2,000 or more. The $800 computer that I currently have, I went on one of those sites where you can customize your parts and they wanted about $1,400. I would build one if you have the time. There's many videos on YouTube to show how. Go on something like 

if you need any help.

I priced a similar setup at xoticpc the other day because I was bored. It was over 2100. Don't be a technoob, build your own.

Yep, most likely (100%) going to build.

I built that same exact computer at cyberpowerpc and it came out to be 1,743. And that is with a reference 290. You can see it's a big difference between building / buying.
