You better prepare for a lecture about how buying prebuilt is more expensive.

You'll struggle to find a pre-built PC for under that price as the GTX 1080 is gonna cost half your budget. You'd be able to get a good 4K ready PC if you bought the parts yourself.

You'll also be spending £700-800 buying 2 4K montiors..

Most £1500 are complete shit. Honestly. a £500 could easily out-perform one. Ive seen £1500 PCs with a 750ti. Its the price that makes us hate pre-builts, it is the hardware used.

Building one is 1000 times better in all honesty. Its super easy, anyone can do it.

Oh FFS.
Assuming that CPU is overclockable, the CPU Cooler would not keep it cool, at all.
You'd still be better off building one. Woopty doo, it has a 980ti and an i7 (not Skylake im pretty sure), PSU is more than likely horrendous, dont even know what SSD it is, nor HDD.

White Internal Lighting

Super dank LEDs, bro

Lifetime Warranty

Yeah, you'll need it in a few months or so. Maybe a year.

32GB of RAM? Why in the hell would you need that much RAM? You might as well get 64GB.

If you want it, be my guest, but im telling you now, building a PC is still 1000 times better and you get the satisfaction of completing your own, working PC.
