Hi, I have been reading these forums for a long time. I have a question so I registered.
I am not sure if this should go in the deals forum, or the Pre-built system forums, but a lot of the best posters post on this forum so I am putting it here. Moderators, please move if this is not OK here.
There's this deal with an HP Envy 750 prebuilt desktop that allows you a 980 Ti, 4790K, 12GB of RAM (no SSD), for around 1100.

Would you say this is worth it? Concerns over the 500W PSU and motherboard quality?
A couple of reasons (other than price) why I think this is a good deal (for me):
1) I think this system has a better sale value than a similarly priced custom build (with say a 970/290 and i7 6700K). The 970 will drop a lot in price next year (but so will a 980Ti). However since 980Ti is much more valuable than the 970 if I sell the system later I still think it will be worth more than a custom built one.
2) Why 1) is a reason: Originally I wanted to get a gaming laptop but with 14nm coming next year any 970m laptop will be left behind pretty quickly. My plan would be to buy this desktop, and hope to recoup a good amount in 12-14 months towards the purchase of mobile Pascal/Arctic Islands.
Thanks.
