What do you plan to use the system for?

 

[lilaznboi0617]

gaming and school

 

[Herr_Koos]

For school-work, it is massively overspecced and overpriced. What games do you plan to play?

600$

ya 1800 is a bit much.

 

[Herr_Koos]

^Agree, that's a much better price range.

Also, you still need some spare cash to buy MS Office or something similar if you are planning to use the PC for work.

Its still too much, warranty or not. Go with something else, as others have suggested.
