At $1,439.00, it is listed as in stock. PC Per Dollar estimates similar DIY parts at $1,159, so building it yourself is about $280 cheaper. Its PC/$ score is 20.4, with a 64/100 good performance rating. Use it as a fast shortlist signal rather than a guarantee: a good score means the hardware package is priced well against current component estimates, while a weak score means the convenience premium is doing more of the work. The retailer page should still be verified before purchase because final price, stock status, shipping, taxes, retailer-specific bundles, and included parts can change after PC Per Dollar last checked the listing.
