So for 1099 you get 30 to 40% more power than this mega overpriced PC. For the money you get a GTX 970 / R9 290 (X), an Intel Core i7 4790 (k), a good power supply, the processor is a good case and according as where to order a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I think many people (not here) think of good performance if you see "1000-watt power supply," Ready PCs are and will remain the last.
