These are both over-priced and out of proportion. Would you be willing to build the PC yourself and get a lot more from your money?

This is my first gaming build i have never ever put a PC together

Although if you can recomend me a similar build that can run every game out in ultra 1920x1200 3D and can record at a cheaper price please could you show it me.

Im new to hardware and PC customising.
