lol, what reality do some of you commenting on PC deals live in? A 3060 alone still goes for $200-250 on sale but you expect to find it in a PC that's $379 "at most"? Technology depreciates fast but as fast as some of y'all seem to think.

I actually just bought the Ryzen 7 5800x 16GB 1TB SSD RTX 3070 (GA15DK-DS776) desktop a few days ago from this seller at current price of $640; arrives by end of the week; received email for the 2-year warranty serviced by SquareTrade.
Also purchased an AMD Wraith Prism cooler for it.
Edit: This desktop looks to be sold out.

Does this use standard motherboard and power supply?
Asus ROG typically does. Not the best ROG parts, but at least standard form factor. These cases are typically not very good. Had one with a 2060 Super and a Ryzen (6700g?), left it without a side panel always. Front had no vents.
Edit:
My case was the same as the first two. The third case seems to have cooling on the front and top. That case seems to be able to hold a full ATX motherboard, but all three motherboards seem to be mATX versions with only two memory slots. That means upgrading memory will be limited to changing out the memory. I don't know if these prices are great, or if buying the parts so you get specifics/newer gen parts is close in price. Been about a year since I've built, and some were parts I had laying around, and the case is just a board. Runs great, and it's out of the way.

It appears the Ryzen 7 3700x is the Intel equivalent of Intel Core i7-9700K. So that makes the cheaper Intel desktop the superior deal.
The Intel machine is the better deal mostly because of the price. Performance wise 3700x is still a little better if you go above 8 threads. But you don't need that much multithreaded performance for almost everything, especially in games which tends to be GPU bound.
Anyone buying these, there are refurbished units from a 3rd party seller.
Only reason I'm not buying it yet. It's a steal otherwise IMO. I know it's outdated but damn $380 for a media center pc that can play valorant and cs and other games at max settings isn't a bad deal IMO.

Sounds like it's really loud and can overheat. No go for me, since I do video rendering.
Probably why these are refurbs (customer returns)
