The parts come to around €1,300 if you were to buy them and found someone who could help with the build.
Someone who is more up to date on parts than I am may be able to recommend parts that are better value. For example, I doubt he needs an 8 core CPU the cheaper 6 core would be more than adequate.0 -
Gotta respect Nzxt's marketing team, take a normal PC, stick an adjective on it, whip up a frenzy of people who don't have the experience to know just how badly they're being ripped off by the marketing of it all
Any high spec machine will do what your son's looking for without being trapped by overpriced marketing stuff. You'll see a lot of people say it on this forum and it might sound belligerent, but building it yourselves will do wonders for your understanding of how it works and once you have the right parts, it's really simple to assemble. You learn a thousand times more by figuring out why something isn't working right than you ever will from a class. Everything has a warranty and it's really difficult to make mistakes when assembling things as the parts can only fit together in a specific way and there are hundreds of reliable YouTube channels that will give very specific instructions about how to put it together and what potential pitfalls you might have.0 -

If you could somehow get it for the retail price of $1,499.00 and didn't have to pay any tax it wouldn't be too bad.
Of course you can put a really nice gaming PC together for under €1k, it just won't be endorsed by Ninja or DrLupo.0 -

I think the case is fine, it's actually fairly big. Size isn't an issue, no idea how good or bad the fans are though but they're probably grand, Gamemax cases are generally on the right side of budget/price balance unlike say, CIT or whatever.
PS - the liquid cooler is unnecessary. The stock cooler for the 3700X is actually a fairly cool Wraith Prism which has fancy RGB lighting as well, so it would compliment the case well and save you €50 or whatever.
That is assuming CCL actually use the standard 3700X cooler, but I don't see why they wouldn't.
Looks like this:

Would second this - Can't speak to the 3700X but I have one on a 3600 and it does pretty well and looks good IMHO. It doesn't get too loud and has a quite mode if you prefer that over better temps.
CCL do offer the option for the stock cooler. I can't see why they would get anything other than the Wraith Prism RGB but I'd double check with them.0 -
