He wants to buy an aurora R4 for about 3 grand including all the bullshite features he added(fricking absurd i know)

he says he is too lazy to buy parts separately and assemble himself

recommend me some other PCs on par with that one that are cheaper or close to the same in price

I'll put it together for him. DIY PC combos on newegg. I love doing that shite. I'll do it for $50.

Dude for 3k he will be running a computer capable of piloting the damn curiosity rover along with several predator drones while trying to slay Diablo in hell difficulty.

Dual high end video cards and multiple 27"+ monitors are the only thing that I should push him to 3K and most of that would be overkill in for gaming, imo.

To be honest, only an idiot would drop $3k on a gaming rig. $1000-$1500 would build a monster computer with plenty of room to upgrade in the future, rather than buying a whole new PC.

If he insists on a pre-built computer, then ibuypower is the best place, IMO. If he is dead set on $3k, then LINK

Adjust some of the unneccesary shite, like 16GB RAM and some other tweaks to drop the price and get 2 video cards.
