Post Body

I've normally always avoided pre-builds like the plague, but for the first time, I'm seeing something somewhat neat in a price range similar to a custom build I wanted to make.

This vs Custom Build

Yes, I know I don't need a power supply quite as big, I just wanted one in case I ever wanted to SLI in the future, and Full Modular makes airflow easier.

Is the extra 400 price gap worth it for a smaller tower that's liquid cooled, even at the cost of slower hard drives? The Trident X looks okay as well. Alienware's are dog shit, don't bother. What do you guys think?
