This is a great deal for those who need a higher end pc and live near a MicroCenter.
The recommendations for PSU ratings are for the total system power needs. The card makers will recommend a high value to cover any possible system configuration such as high power CPU and lots of memory etc. They do that with lots of margin to make sure its safe for people who don't know their power usage and blindly throw a high power card into a system with other high power devices (CPU, memory etc).
As long as the total system requirements are less than the PSU rating (with margin) then you're fine.

Agreed
I'd expect this to be a little power house of a gaming PC well worth the $1250.

6950XT is rated 335 watts
5800x3d is rated 142 watts
Assuming Mother board at 100 watts
This still leaves 173 watts for fans ssd and cooling.
This should be fine.
