Better than GeForce 3060 Ti, Radeon 6700XT is a solid competitor to 3070, and in game performance sometimes outpace 3070, see below.

I bought in 2019 a desktop with 2080 Ti from this vendor with solid performance. Never had any issue and still goes strong. Chat with sales is available on their website during work hour, I also called them once in 2019 and had the impression they cared about their customers so I recommend this vendor from my limited experience. Their BF deal this year is disappointing to me in general, but I found this one may make sense for someone who looks for value and has a hard $1500 budget. Combined with other cashbacks may bring the price even sweeter.

Edit: If you were referring to the Laptop you are solely mistaken. Don't get me wrong that's a great deal but the 3700 in there is much less than a desktop RTX 3700 (5888 vs 5120 CUDA cores) and that's way before you get into the power envelopes. The desktop 6700xt in this computer would be at least 20% faster.
The parts in an Alienware r12 are proprietary so have diminished resale value. (yes mem, cpu, drive are fungible but everything else is basically waste outside their ecosystem)
Skytech Gaming uses off the shelf retail parts that allow reuse if you were so inclined to do so.
I would also say the majority of people care about gaming. Miners are a fringe group so you should evaluate any deal with that in mind.
LoL, sure. Minority group on resale.
Prove the world wrong or moot.
No information? Not interested.

The Lenovo 3070 for $1500 plus 12% CB that just came out is better than this in every way.
I agree on the Lenovo. I just bought that one. With edu/id.me it $1,435 + tax. Then subtract the 12% cashback as soon as it is processed and it's a terrific deal!

With edu discount it's even better.
Realistically you would make $90/month running 24/7 or close to it for somewhere between 2 and 7 months(before the update). So $180 - $630 to subsidize your purchase price.
**Highly Speculative Part**
Depending on your Outlook on Crypto that $180 - $630 could multiply by some amount or decrease as well.
Also some people think GPUs will get dumped by miners after the update and be available at bargain basement prices(but there is also a chip shortage so who knows)
Do you not realize that's an obvious logical fallacy?
Rx 480 still mining strong. 4 years later...

I wonder how much Facebook uses in resources per day, more or less than mining? And that all goes in one person's pocket. Why is mining so terrible but the loss of productivity from social media is perfectly acceptable
