Perfect for this build, I would even run a 3080 with 750w.

Looks good and tempting.
But cant risk it knowing only 15 day return window. Better to wait for ThanksGiving deals with return window until Jan 31st.

This does not feel like a deal at all, sure people want new, but an overclocked 1080ti will put out the same performance for $200 and its over 4 years old... I just dont see the value in paying $1200 after tax. This seems average at best, at least when it comes to performance to value ratio imo.

You can pay a couple hundos more in a months time and get so much more.

Thanks for this. Purchased. My 970 and 8400 CPU needed upgrading. Nearly 6 years with the same PC, and this is the sweetzone price point for me.

Performance-for-dollar, this seems like a good deal. Just need it for the new MMO that pops up and co-op game with a friend, don't need some powerhouse PC.
You're getting good bang for your buck. People commenting here otherwise simply have no idea what they're talking about.

700w power supply is MORE than enough and will cover you even if you upgrade RAM, hard drive, and/or video card. Gone are the days where a 1000w power supply was needed.

11700KF is a fine processor that will easily last you another 6+ years. Despite the fact that the 12 series processors are out, the 11 series are quite capable, you will NEVER have any processor bottlenecks. (The 'F' only means it has no onboard/integrated graphics which doesn't matter because you have a separate video card.)

The 3060 card is a great performer (the 60 series is often called the "poor man's performance card") and will serve you well. I expect you will want to upgrade to the 40 or eventual 50 series in a couple/few years but, no issues with the 3060 performance today.

For $1100 this is a solid prebuilt pick. My references are 20 years in the IT industry and been building my own PC's for at least that long.

This is the price that a 3080 system should be at. That would be a deal.

What kind of nonsense is this? Not only is the 3060ti two generations newer and in fact faster than the 1080ti but, also carries new tech like RTX, completely unavailable in the 10 series cards.

Benchmarks by the way...

This is a deal. I would've picked this up if I hadn't built my 7700x with a 6900xt. My build was $1700, I would have settled for these specs for $600 less.

Look at the comparison, it barely has anything on a 1080ti outside a little better rendering. Anyone buying these wont be playing on anything better than a 1440p screen, most on a 1080p, we are literally talking a handful of frames per second no one will even notice. Price to value is simply not there, my facebook marketplace is flooded with 3070 and 3080 people cant sell from 400 - 600. I am simply stating this seems overpriced for the performance output.

Usually you see graphics cards by them when searching to make a new build, I then started to see PC's by them, here is a site link in case you're curious - https://www.zotac.com/us

But it sorta is hard to believe you've never heard of them (maybe you were more into server-side support etc, these are more PC build cards and such) but some folks haven't watched The Goonies either, so to each their own! I have yet to encounter a person in real life who hasn't seen ET though, that will be a first for me and I know one is out there, somewhere!
