Gaming PC vs razer edge.

[Will Boggs]

Hi.
I would like to build a gaming PC for 900$, but for my budget all I can get is an i3 but an excellent graphics card (3 gb of VRAM.) for the same price I can get the razer edge pro. It has an i7 with a nvidia graphics card with 2 gb of VRAM. I'm kind of stuck and I don't know which one I should buy. Any advice?

Do you need a monitor, OS, keyboard, or mouse?
