Looking at this IbuyPower  prebuilt I put the parts that i wanted in the rig and it is coming out to slightly cheaper with them then on newegg or even amazon wondering is this a good deal or should i just build my own with parts seen above !?
 

Also does anyone have exp with IbuyPower picking your own parts aside from their true prebuilt stuff?

If it's cheaper than if you build it yourself, go for it.

And that PC has all the buzz words - "Liquid Cooled", "RGB RAM", "Has an SSD", "Custom Cables".

 

It'll work, but it is a really strange configuration - Cheap AIO, Cheap SSD, Cheap HDD (like what TB HDD only has 32MB of cache these days?), and not amazing PSU.

Here you go. I took the processor down to an i5 but you can still overclock if you want. You really don't need an i7 if you are only gaming.

Or some minor tweaking and you can happily have the i7 under $1600. FYI - you can get windows 10 for much cheaper than on the list below as well.

I opted for the full tower because you only have 3mm of clearance left with a mid tower and that GPU. I never like to cram my expensive GPU in to the case, so I opted for a larger case because of the lengthy card. But, well played sir.

 

 

Edit: here's my build again with a smaller case and an i7. I checked the clearances on the case and the card and it seems to fit just fine.
