    Hello Jaytherippa..

    It's all according to your skill set,when it comes to building a gaming PC.. Just a note here some here may tell you,that you could build 3 or 4 gaming PC's with $6000.00

    I am going to open your thread for more input on this..

    If you would be willing to compromise the fancy stuff i could build a computer with a better motherboard, better hard drives and ssd drives, faster graphics cards, and more ram. What say you to that?

    Without even doing a price check, you could easily save 1000 doing it yourself...However, that's assuming you have knowledge of setting up a water cooled system.
    If you don't know how to do it, the 6000 might be worth it just to save yourself the hassle, or find someone who does know how (and probably set up a better loop than theirs) at even then a still reduced cost then that...
