They are overcharging it quite hefty, as all those kind of sites do. I would really recommend you to build it yourself. You also might want to state what you are going to do with your computer etc.

I plan on hardcore gaming and want to be able to run anything on high graphics smoothly. I have no experience building computers and the thing that confuses me the most is the case size I will need and power supply

I also live in Canada so the prices are way higher so if i do actually save by building it myself it wont be by much

I even added an i7 just to prove how much cheaper it is even though it is completely wasted for gaming

The build I made has the same performance or even slightly better and is $500 cheaper with shipping, I did go for a cheaper motherboard and cooler but even changing that to something more expensive and perhaps a better case would still save you a couple of hundred dollar.

Just wanted to say thanks for your help.
