If you have the opportunity to build it yourself, then you should do it this way.

If you don't know how to build a pc and don't want to do it, then Ibuypower or Cyberpower is the way to go.

Either option you pick has its advantages and disadvantages.

You're missing a PC case, DVD rom drive, and an aftermarket CPU cooler from your self-build list.

If you can do it yourself (its really easy) and wonna save some money then do it, if not just buy from them

btw, PSU is oversized if you dont plan Crossfire/SLI
