Deal Details
Seems like a very good deal for the 16GB version of a 3070. The 12700F will likely have cooling issues with that stock CPU cooler. I believe the noctua nH-u9s will work and that you wouldn't need to replace the motherboard backplate if you purchase some m3x12 screws.

This deal $30 cheaper for 512gb ssd, good to put towards a 1 TB NVME

M3 screws will work with Noctua nH-u9s - also fairly easy to find used on eBay for cheap.

That listing is the 8GB version of the 3070 not the 16gb.

I only see 90-day manufacturer warranty in Target deal, vs 2-year All State warranty on the above eBay deal. Or is it hidden somewhere?

Is this the same one? Shows up $773.49 when you add to cart (plus is states the 2-Year All State Warranty)

Is there a 16GB version of 3070?

I don't think so unless you mod it.

there was no production model of a 16gb 3070, only some modded ones, and it didn't make much of a difference I recall, and made them unstable since they weren't designed for it.

*edit* video of someone testing a modded 3070 to 16gb

I'm so tempted. Seems like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/255991876362) is a pretty good deal for a 3070 prebuilt?

Basically, it's is the same configuration as the expired deal yesterday (https://www.ebay.com/itm/255807300165) -- except this one only has 500W power supply vs. 800W from the one from yesterday. 500W sounds low, or is it just me?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank mihscr

OP, can you please please fix your post, as it misleads people to think it includes a 16GB VRAM RTX 3070. The 16GB is for RAM, not the 3070's VRAM.

I understand your pain. If I do wind up buying it I will pull out the GPU for myself and upgrade my GF's computer with the rest and give her my 1080TI, her current computer has a 5600 XT

Dang this is a great deal. Just don't know how much i'd use it.

If I don't use it then it's a waste of money.

If I do use it a lot then it's a waste of time.

16 GB RTX 3070 is a hallucination on Target's website. Downvoted.
