Should I buy this?

http://computers.woot.com/offers/hp-omen-870-intel-i7-1tb-amd-rx480-desktop?ref=ord_cnt_ryo_oc_1_tl

I can get this for $735 shipped.

I've been wanting to upgrade my CPU/GPU on my current fx6300/r7 370 rig. I was thinking about going for a ryzen 1600/rx480 combo, but after I buy those components + mobo + expensive as hell ram I'm not sure how far ahead I'd be.

The only thing holding be back is that I'm skeptical of the quality of components thrown into this prebuilt. I'm assuming it has a really cheap power supply etc. But, I could probably sell my current rig for ~$250 on craigslist.

Any thoughts?

You'll get higher quality parts if you build it yourself but you're going to pay about $1000 to match that build

I say that's a pretty good deal.

I'm leery of prebuilts, this doesn't seem like the worst deal but I would build my own with quality parts before I went this route

Thanks man, I'll just stay the course and upgrade those parts on my rig and transfer the reusable parts over to the new build.
