Completely agree. As an enthusiast who build computers for friends and family, if someone came to me today and asked me for a $2000 gaming computer I would point them to this. Just main components wise it's a very good deal.

i7 12700k - not top of the line but just 1 step below it. Such a better value vs i9.

3080 - I always consider XX70 to be the minimum needed to call it an enthusiast level gaming computer. 3080 is a meaningful step up and $/FPS is still very good. 3080 Ti onwards the value proposition falls of a cliff for 'gaming'

16 GB RAM - speaking purely on gaming terms, it's enough. You won't see the quantity of RAM be a bottleneck. Very few games are sensitive enough to high speed RAM to justify higher spending. So long as the RAM is running at 3200 - 3600 you should be fine

1 TB SSD - Enough for windows + apps + 3/4 of your most played games. If space is really a constraint because of a large game library, buy an additional HDD for the not so often played games. Media can obviously stay in HDD.

Thus, in my opinion this computer makes the right compromises and strikes the right balance to call itself an enthusiast level gaming computer
Raptor Lake isn't coming until 2nd half of 2022, and sources seem to put it around September. This i7 (12th gen) was released Nov 2021, placing the CPU right in the middle of the release cycle. People can continue to wait until Fall, and see if the more expensive 13th gen CPUs and Motherboards change pricing. At that point, perhaps they should wait until next year to see pricing drop even more? As for a good deal, I don't think you'll find a better sub $2k PC right now. But like with most technology, prices will likely drop over time...., so today, this is a good deal.
Use coupon code KRIPP for an additional $50 off.

This looks like the deal I've been waiting for. 12th gen intel + 3080. But think I'm going to wait on a few more comments from people smarter than me first before jumping.

Search for HP z620 and find one with dual processors and what hard drive/ssd you want then buy what graphics card you desire. Cost will be $300-600 x two depending on graphics choice.

I'm intrigued by going this route. Can you confirm there isn't much of an issue with the default power supply in these systems working with a 3070/3080 card?

I previously looked at a Thinkstation p710 and realized that I would need to spend around $300 to upgrade to proprietary PSU and a particular cable to meet the voltage demands.

And if I can bug you a little more, would you happen to know if these processors are still good for 4K video editing in DaVinci or Premiere?

TIA!

Hi Nerdish, I would have to research that particular model and see what it matched up with.
And yes, newer ones would be fine for that type of editing (a lot have been used for just that).

I use my very outdated z600 for gaming and video editing, not much 4k, and it does fine, just slower sometimes but that's the only downside.
