Is this legit?
I believe this is the same company that sells through ebay and if they are then yes they are fully legit.
This is actually a pretty decent deal on a starters gaming computer the GFX is nothing too special but it will still 1080p game. Only thing this computer really drastically needs is a memory upgrade to minimum 16 gigs but I would just do 32 gigs and call it a day. If someone needs a computer for school or gaming computer for a younger kid this is a great deal for that.
Bought this purely as an emulation machine on a budget. After watching the ETAPrime video about it, found one priced this low on ebay 6 months ago. I wanted to play older games upscaled to 4K. I recently upgraded to 32GB RAM and I'm able to cleanly run Xenia and RCPS3 games at 4K and 60FPS.
My understanding is that RX 6400 is the cheapest GPU with HDMI 2.1, if you want a HTPC that outputs to a 4k120 TV. Great price for the combination of hardware.
Does anyone know if the parts (mobo, psu, case etc.) are proprietary?

The 6400 GPU is about as powerful as the integrated graphics in Ryzen 7000 mobile chips (both have 12 CUs and are similarly clocked), so while it's an upgrade over the 5600G's integrated graphics, it's not by much. And since it's a low-power GPU, it won't need external power from the PSU... which means that it's not unlikely for the PSU to be missing the power and connectors to support a more powerful GPU, and since the PSU is not standard...
If anyone is wondering about the gaming performance of this machine, the RX 6400 gets about 40% of the performance of a 1080Ti, or 27.6% performance of 3080 12GB. Calculations were made based on benchmark scores sourced from Passmark[videocardbenchmark.net].

Excellent price for what you get.
Not sure about returns. I normally get Vipoutlet through Walmart and you can easily return to the counter at any Walmart.
This is $100 lower than the $339 I posted recently, and that was a good price.
Last time I ordered a similar PC around the same "too good to be true" price, they cancelled all orders and recalled any they already shipped. Great price and good luck, but they put a bad taste in my mouth, not gonna fall for it again.

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to order before it went OOS. I'll report when/if mine ships.
Placed an order around 10:30am, just got the email notice that it's shipped! Should get here Thursday, here's hoping. I ordered a gaming Pavilion PC from the same vendor last year, has been great.
This is what I was talking about. They cancelled orders and still charged for some of them, recalled shipped orders, and shipped wrong pcs or pcs with video cards removed, so ymmv. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/652681

You would still be limited by the stock PSU, but you could certainly do a pretty easy upgrade to something more powerful than the RX 6400.
