How's the deal though?

Price is pretty sweet I think, Lenovo legion got good reputation.
GC: ~$800
RAM: ~$100
SSD: ~$100
That's $1250, which leaves $230 to buy MB, PSU, case, and Windows license. In other words, I'm sure SOMEONE can rebuild this for cheaper — but it's pretty close.
Also have to remember this does include KB & mouse, which we may chuckle about, but some people don't have hundreds of dollars in gaming peripherals lying about like some of us degens.
Looks like a good deal for someone that wants a decent gaming PC, but doesn't want to bother with picking parts and actually building it (and dealing with DOAs and RMAs and separate warranties, etc.)

This would be a 80% play/fun machine and 20% work. Normal day job has its own machine.
Thought I would see by now prebuilds with 4080 going for around $1500. Prices should drop more as people can't afford luxuries like these gaming computers.
My last 2 builds were i5-2500k based, but would rather wait for deals like this that are good enough for most tasks. Later on, I could just drop in a 5090 and put the 4070 Ti into my ancient backup i7-8700 pre-built.
For example, my specific scenario would be:
1. I already have a spare Win 11 license, so I don't need to buy one.
2. I would be dismantling my existing self-built system to reuse the case, so again, don't need to buy one.
3. I already have a 2TB NVME ssd, so I can throw that money back into the pool.
So, for ~$330, I could get a decent MB and modular PSU, like:

Really is a shit situation, but unless AMD or Intel somehow figure their shit out with GPUs we'll be stuck in this kind of non-competitive market for awhile.
