New computer build time? Or hold off?

[DeeBye]

I think I went overboard, but NCIX had a great deal on a custom pre-built gaming computer. I ordered one, and now I have to figure out a way to break the news to the wife. I'll generate a PCPartPicker report on the goods, but the beast I bought will be pre-assembled, OS installed, tested, and a little bit cheaper than buying parts separately.
