I finally got the money to build a gaming pc myself. The spec of the pc is same as the Neutron 3.0 from Austin Evans channel except im going to use gtx 1060. I was going to buy parts but my dad said that i should buy prebuilt system because i never built pc before. Should i build it or buy pre built pc. If so is $900 enough to buy gaming pc that has similar spec as Neutron 3.0?

Build. And you can probably do better than what he did. Austin's a cool dude, but he uses Amazon only. Limits him a bit.

Going to be honest with you, that's not a good PSU. And that's not even a 1080p monitor.

grabbed the wrong monitor and I know that that psu is not great http://pcpartpicker.com/list/8pdRkT
