I'm confused. Are you trying to show that building a computer gets you better parts at the same price as buying pre-built? Because we all already know that.

Holy shit, the upgrading options on the Dell are crazy! 550 extra for a GTX 1080? That thing is only like 400 more than the 970! And why the fuck would the go straight to the 1080 from a 970? Also $50 for win10 pro over win10 home? I can get Windows 10 Pro for 25€ from a decently legit source (or for 40€ from a source where I'm sure thats its definitely legit). My head hurts...

Dell is pretty much the ass end of places to buy computers. I always wonder why people haven't realized this yet. Their prices have never had anything to do with what the hardware actually costs.
