The cost difference between the 1600 and 1600x is only $34, and the downgrade in cooling is $21. 4gb 580 to 8gb 1070 adds $234, quite a jump. This is all on the site I'm using, cyberpowerpc |
Well this is why I don't use sites like that...
The stock cooler comes free with the cpu yet for some reason, that site is charging you for it. The difference should be at least $80 in savings just by using the stock cooler. I suggest going to pcpartpicker.com and configuring stuff.

Yea it doesn't include a keyboard/mouse but I am sure you can find cheap keyboard/mouse that are as good as their keyboard/mouse on amazon or something. The performance difference between the builds are significant though and I am sure you might be able to cut some more cost if you look hard enough. The caviat is that you do have to get your own OS and build it yourself.
