    Also the GPU & case can almost definitely be picked up from Amazon to make shopping easier.

    FYI but that machine is way, way below what you'd self-build.

    You're basically paying the same price for half the performance (literally, everything is half as good).

    Thanks for the reply, my original budget had been €1250 but that was before the EMMC memory failing an my phone and me buying a new phone. Also while that computer looks interesting I prefer AMD over Intel and will check out that website.
