These PCs are custom-built, fully tested systems and require 3 business days for assembly. The components may vary due to stock availability, and the picture is for illustration purposes only (this means that if one of the components is unavailable, we will replace it with another component of equal or greater quality at no extra cost; for example, if the 750W Antec 80+ Bronze PSU is out of stock, we would replace it with a 850W Antec 80+ Gold PSU).
