On the prebuilt

1. Case is rubbish

2. SSD is a 120GB V300 (rubbish)

3. Motheboard is a bottomline Z97

4. Stock cooler, rubbish

5. PSU, its not bad, but could be better

6. Doesn't come with periferals nor OS.

Hey! I found this on Ebay, what is the difference in performance and how is this much cheaper; whilst maintaining a close performance, it's never used:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Z97-I5-4690K-2tb-SSD-16gb-1600Mhz-GTX-970-4gb-Galaxy-R-Gaming-PC-/171857590744

Compared to: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/JhdJ4D

 

I'd like to build my own PC, but not at the expense of £300 more; why is this Ebay unit so cheap? Can anyone point any flaws out in the setup of the Ebay item?

The ssd is garbage, psu is garbage, no windows and stock cooler. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

So even though the Pcpartpicker is more expensive, it will perform better at gaming?
