1999 for a 5600x with 16gb and a 3060?'! This is an awful deal.

Shouldn't be over $1200 even with current gpu pricing. And even that wouldn't be a great deal.

Thumbs up, its actually pretty nice. Though I think you should have cut out a lot of info from the first post.

IMO,
Price :$1199
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU: 3060
RAM:16GB
Hard Drive: 500GB SSD
Power supply: Cooler Master 650W
Case: Lian Li mATX 170M Glass
MB: Asus B550M

would be enough info
I probably would have bought this over my $1000 Asus ROG Strix R7/3060 from Walmart, if I had the option at the time. Better case, better power supply, better cpu cooler, larger ssd

Congrats on nabbing that Asus ROG deal! Both the Asus and this PC are solid "bucket of parts" PCs as everything is generally off-the-shelf retail gear. I'd argue you got the better deal since the CPU and GPU are the real cost-drivers and, on top of that, you arguably have a more meaningful warranty support path (though I've never dealt with Micro Center's house brand; perhaps it is just as easy as a trip back to Micro Center?).

Given the current GPU market I can't imagine why this deal is getting such grief. I'm certainly not going to buy it, but I also haven't bought a prebuilt PC of any kind during either the pandemic market or even the prior mining-driven inflationary period for GPUs.

Good luck!
Jon

I think this one is getting grief because it was originally posted as 1999.99, which was fixed by the OP.

I think my the R7 5700G is similar in performance to the R5 5600X. Its nice that I can remove the GPU from my ROG and still use it though.

That last part is indeed the real added value of the CPU you've nabbed. As a bonus, those integrated graphics are also pretty decent(!).

The -X model chips from AMD were always meant as stopgap fillers for a market otherwise starved for any component it can get.

Good luck!

Still a super solid deal.

Just need to put the + on it to make it green again!
