6700K with GTX980 TI @ $2300 is a decent deal. Even if you were to DIY, might not be able to get this price also.

However, i'm not sure what mobo they are providing. no point giving you a K processor and supplying a B or H board.

It's a Z170 mobo with liquid cooling.

Dollar-wise, looks like a good deal. You might want to check whether the BIOS allow overclocking.

Thank you guys! Looks like can hoot liao.

It is confirmed to be 980Ti. Currently is a new model for preorder.

The PSU only 500W though. Suppose it is a bit tight to run 6700K at OC

PM me if you would want one unit, I can ask my colleague for help but no promise though.

HP bios doesn't allow overclocking, for obvious reasons. But does it matter at this cost? :D

I asked HP, it is part of casing. They also mentioned if want to add third party parts, have to bring to service centre and ask them help you install.

Heck, I am gonna try to open without voiding the warranty and put my own PSU and SSD in.

Think the internals should look similar to this:
