It's a dual GTX970, but still I don't see the deal here either.
Maybe the Dell case itself is worth $2000.

Round up prices:
CPU - $460
GPU - $700
RAM - $130
M-board - $200 (since its dell)
SSD - $100
HDD - $150 (5400rpm lol)
--------------------
Total - $1740

Case - $1059 = $2799.00 lol

Yeah not really sure how this is a deal. Considering 99% of the population on this forum is a DIY and would be able to do it for WAY WAY less themselves.

"What about COURTESY?

No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread."


If its not a deal, let it drop on its own.

You folks posting comments are putting this at the top.
