It's debatable, but imo no since this comes with an extra game valued at roughly $60, 3months xbox pass if you care for that, 650w psu instead of 600w and a 2060 super instead of a 2060. Some might like the case more with the 3 rgb fans if you're into that.

Better deal

$1,058.39 vs $899.99 = $158.40 difference

i7 9700 > ryzen 7 2700
16 GB = 16 GB
500 SSD = 500 SSD
5700 XT 8 GB > RTX 2060 Super 8 GB
850W > 650W
Liquid cooling > fans

The R8 is equal or better in all categories across the board.I priced the R8 out, and it would cost more to build yourself than this deal is going for, by a lot.

Ah thanks. Didn't see the super. MC deal comes with free CoD as well but this one has more freebies. Thanks

For this price, how much do you realistically save by building one?

While I agree, this is for the people who can't/don't want to build their own PCs. Yes, it's easy to build a PC. It's easier to have a PC pre-built arrive and all you need to do is plug it in. No cable management, no diagnostics if something doesn't work, it just works.

Yeah I get it but 32 GB of faster ram if you edit or stream is a significant upgrade, the graphics card is just an added bonus at the price point
