Too good of a deal? or am i being stupid?

[Oliver Green]

Hi All,
First of all this is my first post so bare with me please.
I have been looking at either building or buying a gaming pc for a few years now, but now my friend has got one and i have had a taste of PUBG i feel like i am going to make the jump.
So i am looking at spending maximum £1000 but preferably under that and if the right deal comes up, which i think it may have, if people say it is worth it then i will buy a pre built PC.

So the deal i have seen is for £989.99 and it comes with:
STORM Gaming PC:
Intel i5 7600K (4 x 3.8 GHZ)
16 GB DDR4 2133 MHZ
NVIDIA GTX 1070 – 8 GB
1 TB Western Digital 7200 RPM HDD
Asus B250M-K
EVGA 600W PSU
Windows 10 Home 64 BIT
Case Storm Gaming Case LED Green
Intel Heatsink & Fan
Connections 1 x HDMI
1 x DVI
2 x DisplayPort
USB Ports 4 x USB3
4 x USB2

So when i planned this computer it has come out at over £1100 and looking online for around £900 i will not get anywhere near the same specs as this, which makes me think it is too good to be true?
What do you think is it a viable option or do you think i should just carry on looking?
Furthermore to this i would like to add a SSD to it which i think is possible.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi All,
Apologies for the slow reply, i have had other things on.
After looking into all of your points it seems like i should just build a PC, take my time and do it properly instead of buying a pre built one and taking a risk in the quality of it.
I have planned to build this computer, and going with Intel instead of AMD. I will put my comments next to each on my i have chosen parts them however if you think of any alternate parts then throw them at me as you know better than me!

CPU Intel - Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (Was thinking of going with @Armageus Core i3 however it is not compatible with the motherboard, so i could upgrade to @ExoMale motherboard which will eaqual out the price.
CPU Cooler Cooler Master - MasterLiquid Lite 120 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard MSI - Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory Corsair - Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory (Cheapest one for 16gb i could find)
Storage Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (See the advantage of paying extra for a SSD)
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition Video Card (Worth paying for a 1070)
Case Zalman - Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply



Let me know what you think but thanks to you guys, i have looked into it hard and you have educated me on the way to building my first PC.

Thanks
Ollie

@Armageus So you suggest going for a Intel - Core i3-8350K 4.0GHz and Gigabyte - Z370 HD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Instead of Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz and Motherboard MSI - Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151
Sorry i am new to this computer building scene so forgive me!

Thanks
Ollie
