I'd gladly help you build them so you could save $75x2. Or possibly do it yourself? MemEx will mount the CPU and RAM to test it for free and that's the hardest part.

Hopefully MemEx will price match the lower prices.
There are cheaper ways to get Windows that are a little shady but will still get you a legit OS. |
Thanks for the info! I had a friend tell me many of the same things separately since I posted this. I think what happened with the 1000W power supply was that I assumed the MemEx system configurator automatically shows the appropriate PSU but I see from the partpicker link that it's way off. I agree I could save some money there. My friend also said the same thing about putting the computer together. I'm a little scarred from an experience 10 years ago where I built a computer and it refused to POST, but I'm willing to give it another shot.
