Should I just get a BLD or build it my self?

[MadeInChina O69]

I am plainning on gettig my first PC! (For gamming of course!) I have a list of a build idea, I made on PcPartPicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MadeInChina_O69/saved/bL8nnQ

and im wondering if it would be cheaper for me to get a simmalarly spected build on BLD.

Last time I checked, NZXT doesn't include monitors and other peripherals. You can go onto BLD and build a similar spec system yourself.

The 60hz monitor is kind of a waste because the 1080ti will be capable of higher than 60FPS, so getting a 144hz monitor will be better.

Well that's a tough question.

 I'm always a fan of building it yourself. I think it feels.....more special. But with the market the way it is now it might be a tiny bit cheaper to buy a pre-built if your going for value. But prices have stabilized a bit so you should be able to be fairly close either way.

 

If you do decide to build it yourself a few suggestions. #1 if your running short on cash you can always add the cablemod cables in later. no need to do it right away its an ascetic upgrade that can always be added. and #2 just skip the astros they are overrated. you can get a way better headset for the same price or one of similar quality for cheaper.

The monitor and the other “(Purchesed)” is the stuff I already bought.
