    This look like a pre-built not a "building my first rig" kind of thing.

    We need more information to judge the build based on your needs.

    As for the quality and component picks it looks decent enough at first glance.

    Can you and are you willing to building it yourself? It's not hard and will get you either a cheaper system, better system or a combination.

    • Budget
    • Resolution
    • Games / Settings Desired
    • Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
    • Country
    • Parts that can be reused
    • Do you need an OS?
    • Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?

    I was custom ordering it but changed some things up diff video card, mother board and my budget was 1600 but when I went to the website I may use it came in well under budget roughly 200 dollars under.

    And as for what I want out of it would be to run WoW and games of that nature at high to ultra settings. Never built a PC in my life so I figured I'd look into it and a friend suggested I check out cyber power PC got his rig from there, and it works very very good.

    For what you are looking for you won't be disappointed with what you are getting. Just don't expect outstanding customer service or a quick delivery. Likely some bloat ware as well.

    Could you build for a bit cheaper? Yeah. But not ton upon tons more. Might their be better out there? I am sure a list will start here. But again, what you have listen isn't a terrible option for a pre-built if building is out of the question.
