Well, now we as a collective community hate you for it. The only way out of this is with a new caper!

I thought you wanted to *build* a computer, not buy a pre-built one.

No, the fact that it had better tech for less money than the other ones I was looking at.

Is the daring design of the tower part of the appeal of this machine?

That looks like a really nice computer, let us know if you decide on it and how much you like it when it arrives. This thread has motivated me to start parts researching for my next build to replace my frankenpotato pc that's on its last leg.

How are they for handling overfull inboxes?

My understanding is AMD'S Ryzen processors are serious competition to anything Intel is releasing. But don't go lower than quad or six core, as most games are requiring at least dual core and we can expect this to go up.

Due to the release of the GTX 1070 Ti, the normal 1070 has received a price cut today. Might take some days for this to propagate to retailers though.

As far as CPU goes, just stick to whatever the current version of Intel7 that is going for around 300$ Looks like the last one you linked has that covered.

I'm still running an I7 based setup I built in this case https://www.nzxt.com/products/source-530 and it works fine for Resident Evil 7 and other modern games.

I agree with that.

I agree with all of this!

The only thing I don't like about the computer Pinback linked is that it has a HDD instead of a SSD. Fast loading times are really nice to have.

OK, if you say "build me a computer," we're gonna do that.

This is $827.19, no hard drive, but three terabyte hard drives are $89 on Newegg:
