Because it's not a good deal on a pc. The $500 Ryzen 3600x GTX 1660 Ti PC from Costco/Walmart lasted weeks and that was a "deal." There was a HP Prebuilt with a RTX 3060 for $600 a few days ago. For $800 you shouldn't get anything less than a RTX 3060 Ti RX 6600 (XT if you have a microcenter nearby).

The $600 HP had a 450w power supply, this has a 650w. That had a 256 ssd, this has 256ssd and 1tb hdd. So not directly comparable but I definitely see your point in the GPU

Those don't justify the ~$300 price difference at all though. If this were $600ish, it would be similarly good.

Like I mentioned in the comment you quoted, you'll need to have a Microcenter nearby. The cpu/motherboard combo for $180 and the gpu for $450.

That cpu is inferior to majority of prebuilts with 3060ti that come with i7-12700. and this original post listed a prebuilt. you are comparing apples and oranges when you are listing individual components to then build your own pc (and the time to put it together)
