What can I say.

I can see an amateur having to buy CPUs to try them and re-selling the ones that don't meet the expectations, but for a professional that's a very bad business plan. He should have deals with stores or other custom PC vendors to sell him the best CPUs for, say an extra 15% over its retail price so both can win.

And yes, the case by itself is expensive, and watercooling and cable routing is very good, but that has more to do with man hours tiding it rather than simple expensive products.

Yesterday I say a review of a custom build PC

And that's £2,742 (inc VAT). Replace the 780 with 780Ti and it's £2,927.17inc. vat. Almost as good for gaming for less than 1/3 of the price and size.

 

Btw, I'd love that seat, but I'd need to get a bigger house first!
