Man. This is a thumbs up for the discount off MSRP but I gotta say I wouldn't even pay this much for a build with a 5090...

I feel like this is still $1000 over what a 5090 build should go for 😂

Paying over $4,000 for a Gaming Computer is stupid. Period.

And I will add: If you buy this, you are making it worse for everyone in the future, because companies will see that there is people who will buy stuff at absurd prices.

I usually pay around 1k for my rig. And updates every 3-4 years. This budget will last me 16 years which I can update and have new midrange PC every 4 years.

No, it won't. In 8 years, a $1k PC will be better than this. 100%. Buying this is a terrible business. Do it if you don't care about the money, but it is a terrible investment.

That's exactly what I meant. I am not going to pay 4k for this, I rather use that to buy a midrange at 1k and update every 4 years.

Oh, okay! Misread it as "This investment will last me 16 years".

This is not slick, about $1k higher than it should be.
