What is your opinion on this?

[Xreldo]

Not looking to buy or anything just wondering if people would be interested https://www.gumtree.com/p/desktop-workstation-pcs/custom-build-watercooled-gaming-pc/1231784690

and https://www.gumtree.com/p/desktop-workstation-pcs/gtx-1080-watercooled-x99-6-core-intel-4.3ghz-silent-pc-w-27inch-gsync-144hz-1440p-monitor/1231964612 

any thoughts on these is it worth it for someone to buy? Myself after selling my PC I am waiting for Skylake/Kabylake-X to pair it up with a 1080 ti and a 240hz monitor for csgo and overwatch.

most people here are pc enthusiasts, we would rather make our own desktop than to buy one.

Me too I am just wondering if its good for the money. See its general discussion considering people are chatting about gays I am not sure why we cant chat about this.

nope, you can build a cheaper computers for the price. 

[ARikozuM]

The Parvum build looks to be better value.

How much would the water cooling parts be in link number 1.

How much would a custom loop for Gpu and CPU be?

depends on the loop you want, 400 to 600$ would be a good estimate.

that first ad is most likely a fake though. it says it has a ASUS maximus mobo while the VRM heatsinks are from a MSI board.

Thatls what I thought.

to be fair , this one is watercooled. You could build a pc with the same specs for less , but is it possible to watercool it also ?

yes you might have to hunt around for parts, the PCs OP is showing most likely are fake.

Given the time, yes. Not given the time, no.

 

From what I've tried with water-cooling, it isn't easy to do things in one shot. It can take a new user many attempts and failures (not to mention hours) before the loop is complete and tested.

Looked around all Maximus motherboards didn't find a single one that looks like that. FAKE Confirmed.

i mostly meant price wise . Sure , given enough research and planning it would be possible . What i meant is that while you could build a dual 1070 + 7700k machine fairly easily for that price , it might not necessarily be that horrible of a deal when considering the watercooling parts. It all depends on how much the loop is worth .

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

How to know which is cheaper:

 

Is it a high end machine -> build it yourself

Is it an everyday web browsing and email machine? -> buy OEM.

or make a cheap pentium machine or buy an old HP machine.

To me, buying prebuilt vs. building it yourself boils down to one thing: It's convenient. Even if you're a seasoned builder, you're spending the better part of the afternoon getting to the point of even making sure the thing powers on and everything is happy. With a pre-built, you plug it in and wallah, you're up and running. If that means spending a non-trivial amount more, then so be it.

Building is the easy part.

 

Troubleshooting and ensuring everything is working is the hard part. And very few people seem to point this out.
