I just had someone put together a rig for me, is it worth it for $1250? I have a budget of $1500, anything worth upgrading? Will the performance gain justify the extra money spent?

This is him building/ordering it for me, would it a lot cheaper if I bought the parts myself and assembled it myself? It will be my first custom rig
