I don't see a Graphics card listed there buddy, do you already have one you plan on putting in there?

I suggest not buying that at all because honestly, I'd be rather insulted with the prices they're asking. They want an extra $139 to change a 1TB HDD to a 500GB 970 EVO. If you just got it with the 1TB HDD and added a 970 EVO yourself you'd save $10(plus the $51 spent on the additional HDD).

Also charging almost $400 for a 1080p 144Hz monitor is obscene IMO. I wouldn't dare spend more than $200 on a 1080p 144Hz monitor since there are plenty of good options available under $200.

Also, the stock PSU in that pre-built is junk if you don't choose one of their better options.

All in there you're looking at around $1700-1800 if I'm not wrong, which is almost RTX 2070 and 1440p 144Hz territory- instead of GTX 1070 and 1080p 144Hz.
