Ignore the monitor on the PC part picker list, just imagine a $90 monitor there, also ignore the mouse, its actually worth 10 not 60.

The prebuilt one has an overclockable cpu with a no overclockable mobo and the pcpartpicker list has a non overclockable cpu with an overclockable mobo

Both are wrong

tho now that I think about it that z170 mobo is quite on the cheap right now so its not that bad

Ignore the monitor on the PC part picker list, just imagine a $90 monitor there, also ignore the mouse, its actually worth 10 not 60.

For like $150 less and coming with Civ 6? I'd go with the Prebuilt actually. Maybe pay out an extra $50 for a better quality PSU, but still, prebuilt.

Still the prebuilt, mainly because it's much more cost effective.

A 1060 is not worth an extra $150ish to $200ish over a 480. At $1000 you could be getting a 1070 easily.

Wait wait I still don't understand sorry

 

Also if it matters the 1060 I got was at 230 because of sale

The cost of the build you made far exceeds the cost of the prebuilt to the point where it's less cost effective to the Prebuilt. In other words: Your build = Too much $$$ to be better than the prebuilt.

Umm,maybe I missed it, but you can save a few bucks getting a cheaper mobo. You don't need a z170 with a non overclockable cpu. Well, I tried to make a build, but ended up around 150 over than the pre built. But I included a monitor. Also, I didn't touch the mouse and keyboard. Either way, I'm sure someone here can help cut down costs.

I got the mobo because its the cheapest ATX on the market plus it has OC abilities if I ever want to.
