This is last gen build, outdated CPU/GPU, add a little more money so you can buy current release build with much more power and performance, plus latest and newest graphics and processor supported features, it will be future proof. This is too much money for what youre getting.
The true last gen builds were DDR4 and available with a 3080 and 12700k for under $1,500 on Black Friday. DDR5 and the mobo are the main source of the price difference.

It's not an amazing deal but it's a decent one.

what is the PSU? liquid cooled or no?
Says 850w. Likely gold. I have an older model with a 650 gold FSP in it.

Haha. 2020 high end 3080 10GB GPU is now a mid-low end on just 2 years. 8/10 and soon to be 12 GB GPUs are DOA.

You're essentially coughing up $1,100 for this GPU. Get at least a 16GB RDNA2 if you want some sort of longevity.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor ($450.00)
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK400 66.47 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M DS3H Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard ($149.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($127.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: TEAMGROUP MP34 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($52.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: ASRock Phantom Gaming OC Radeon RX 6950 XT 16 GB Video Card ($629.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Deepcool CC560 ATX Mid Tower Case ($65.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Super Flower Leadex III Gold 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($114.99 @ Newegg Sellers)
Total: $1626.91
What about os? Also you know not everyone can build their own PC. Also, that CPU and this one are about equal performance. It's just the GPUs.

I've yet to see anything like this for $1299. I think the people saying that are a little out of touch. $1200 right now seems to get you a system with an i7, 16 gigs of ram and a rxt3060. Maybe a Ti if you are lucky. Definitely not a 3070 not to mention a 3080 in this case. This seems to be a very good price.

I had this exact system with the 10900k processor. FatNstic prebuilt with great case and great cooking. Not sure about todays value. As far as gaming, seems everyone is running into limitation with less than 12 gb of vram.

What you mean future proof? What, 4 months and its outdated again.

What about os? Windows makes it about as easy as possible to install with a thumb drive. It's also free, if you want to be able to customize some settings then your have to pay for a license, which can be purchased for about 20$ on a cdkeys site. Unless you have physical disabilities that prevent you from building a PC, you tube has countless tutorials on how to do it. The only real con about building your own is you have to deal with the individual parts warranty and return process. I don't mind but I can understand others not liking that.

As to this deal.... Makes me want to cry a bit, that's how much my 3080ti cost a little over a year ago. This seems like a pretty good deal and the 3080 is no slouch, 4080 was a huge generational leap but it doesn't make this useless.

People are saying this deal is bad because it is last gen CPU and GPU, but the problem is that you can't really find equivalent for less right now (this build uses all good parts, no proprietary garbage like the Alienware build from a few weeks ago). Also, an equivalent build with a 4080 and 13th gen CPU are running around $2500 right now.

Please, I beg of you, post these so called better deals that are to be had. Not claiming this one is super duper, but it is pretty good for what has been available.

You're essentially coughing up $1,000 for the 3080. Get at least a 16GB RDNA2 if you want some sort of longevity. If you're spending this much on a system, might as well get the best gaming chip with future upgrades.

I absolutely love building PCs, just built a sick 13600k/7900xt/tempest compact rig. I also know you are here to help people make the most of their money and I agree the system you spec'd is fantastic, possibly exactly what I would build at this price point. But I don't think it is realistic to tell people they "might as well" build their own system from scrach if they are looking for a prebuilt. I used to tell people it is like legos and not that hard but there is legit problem solving/technical knowledge needed to build and it isn't always as easy as watching a video and knocking it out.

For example, Thermal past application and CPU cooler install is actually pretty imposing, a youtube video will help a lot but there is a real risk of bent pins and performance risk of improper installation. Will most people be fine? Yep, but is there real risk to someone who just wanted a $1,600 system? Absolutely, especially for a first time ever build.

Also, the ram you listed (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5) isn't listed as compatible with the mobo you listed. In most cases will they both work? yep, will it possibly limit the ram speed? yep. But if it doesn't work correctly, diagnosing that is difficult and fixing requires returning within 30 days at most retailers. And that isn't something most people even know to check or how. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherbo...ort-memsup

And newegg was listed for most of your parts, they have a history of bad customer service and limited support for open parts, not always, but sometimes. Not having a unified system warranty can also be a big deal and requires a ton more technical knowledge to diagnose and work with various OEMs for support if needed.

And I would personally include at least $25 for a semi legit windows key. Can you run windows without a key, yes with limitations that aren't on a prebuilt. Can you risk malware to get it free? yep. Can you get a $5-10 defo improperly used windows 10 key from ebay and upgrade to 11? Yes with some risk microsoft will revoke it and with time that you wouldn't have to spend on a prebuilt. But as someone who spent a lot of time, including on very suspicious bot reddit threds, trying to find an affordable legit copy, it is a bit disingenuous to leave it out entirely.

So risk, extra technical knowledge and an extra $50 for a system that will push mildly better frams in the shorterm but with better long term potential. I know I'd pick the self build but I don't think it is for everyone, certainly not the default choice.

I tried to build something using this site and pc part picker and combing everything. With or without OS... you can't build it for less. $1200 would be amazing but just not realistic with pricing.

Good deal for relatively future proof mobo/chipset (longer upgrade path for the time being)

Once upon a time b&h would leave the taxes up to you to pay at the end of year... would have been a great deal back then.
