Cold from me. Whats the point of having a z97 mother if you have an non overclockable cpu? Thats just a waste. Also its funny how you used more expensive parts in your build. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BWcNdC
That will give you exact same build for much more cheaper.
No pre built pc is cheaper without using cheap parts. Probably the power supply unit which is the most part of all
4gb of vram on this card is quite useless. It will only add like 5 fps. This card isn't that powerful to utilise the full 4gb vram anyways. Also they will be using the cheapest of parts whilst increasing price. That power supply is very poor and generally unsafe you put any type of load on it. Just build a pc yourself and safe yourself money and able to upgrade in the future without worrying about any cheap parts now

It isn't all about FPS. Put the textures up on any game without the VRAM to handle it and you'll get stutters. A card doesn't need much 'power' to make use of textures in vram, true, when putting resolition up textures go up also, but using more than 2gb at 1080p is quite likely and this card is plenty capable at 1080p. The extra makes a lot of difference. The included power supply isn't great but with a 2 year collect and return warranty and 5 years labour I don't think that's a valid argument for voting cold.
Nor is 'building one yourself is a better option'.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong advocate of building your own, I've built 9 pc's already this year, for myself, friends and businesses. But I can understand that some people don't want to and don't mind paying a small premium in order to have one built for them (sometimes our time is worth more than the cost of the premium). And on that basis, this machine isn't a bad deal.

knock out the bloody OS and get it from the high seas. Who the hell shills out £70 for a bloody OS
Even if you want a legitimate version. you can get cheap ones for £10-£30 from reddit

Comes with an impressive warranty too: (2 Year Collect & Return, 5 Years Labour)
I'm sure you could build it for a similar price if you shop around, but for a prebuilt rig this seems like a very good deal.
