I know that I may get a fair bit of hate for this, but unlike most prebuilt PC's, that's not an extreme waste of your money. Here's a very similar build on PCPartPicker:

It has a (IMO) pretty ugly case, but it matches the flashiness of the CyberPC one. This build also has a more efficient power supply and it's known to be a pretty good power supply, compared to the cheapo chinese ones that are used in the prebuilts. I do have to say that building your own computer is much more rewarding and fun, but this build also has a better mouse than the included one. I don't suggest building this one, because Intel is generally better for gaming, and you definitely don't need a water cooler. Follow one of the builds with an i3 and an SSD.
