    nah man, its like half the price to build it yourself, buy the parts stick it together

    "packages" are always soooo expensive.

    could prolly get a decent gaming pc for like 700$ (just the tower, no screen and stuff)

    easy enough to pick and choose your parts at a computer parts wholesaler, pay someone 50 bucks to put it together
