Necromancer 1080

[Insomniax]

Hey guys. I'm in the process of buying or building a custom PC. so far I'm pretty set on the ASUS VG248QE 24in Widescreen 144Hz 3D Monitor and im looking at buying the https://www.pccasegear.com/products/39696/pccg-necromancer-1080-gaming-system (necromancer 1080 custom PC) but since I'm new I don't want to get sucked into what looks pretty and waste more money than I need to even though i absolutely love the look of this PC. is this PC generally a worth while buy? keeping in mind I am living in Australia so prices vary with US Hardware.

its about 1000 dollars more expensive then if you did it yourself. though if you like it and you have the cash to burn you do you

[Insomniax]

it is 3099 AUD though. is that still valid?

what would u suggest

[MVPernula]

Same system but without useless add-ons.
You can add LED's and stuff later

AU prices as well, so you saved 400$ for basically the same PC!

That's totally fine!

If you want to I can make it a 500GB SSD, I just wanted to make it a bit cheaper.

500GB SSD has its benefits, it allows you to fit an OS and more games than 250GB will.

 

I lowered it to 1TB since it's enough, and if you would run out for some reason adding another HDD is cheap later on!

And on the PCP build I sent you the "builder" automatically chooses the cheapest price/stores avaliable, you can use 'my' build but chose yourself where to buy them from!

Prices may vary of course

The 'Pure Power 10' in the build you originally posted isn't bad, Tier 3 to be specific.

But with the parts you have, which are 100% enthusiast grade, I feel like you should have an enthusiast grade PSU.

I'm not saying that a Tier 3 PSU will fry your parts, but safety first! Especially when on this kind of budget.

 

The EVGA G2 lineup is Tier 1, great PSU's! Have one myself.
Read about which PSU is good/bad here:

Sounds really strange, it is standard sized! And fully modular, so you can pick the exact cables you need.

If anything that makes it take LESS space.

Shipping costs are supposed to be counted within the build.
