The upside of systems like these from Newegg is that the components are all completely standard. This probably isn't the blazingly hottest deal, but it's a reasonable price for the components as a pre-built if not as tight a value as a more recent model at $750 here: https://slickdeals.net/f/18274336-student-discount-intel-core-i5-13400f-intel-arc-b580-12gb-32gb-ddr4-3200mhz-1tb-512gbx2-nvme-ssd-abs-aquilon-aqua-gaming-pc-750?p=176778403&comment=success#post176778403
The prior system had an arguably better CPU but also incorporated the Intel ARC B580. The $800 system here has a higher markup over retail but also incorporates an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU.
Listing out some (admittedly arbitrary) rough retail prices for the elements included in this build:
$110 CPU
$100 Motherboard
$320 GPU
$30 RAM
$20 CPU cooler
$40 SSD
$55 PSU
$40 Case

That's $715 in parts in a $800 pre-built system. Of course, hard-core slickdealers know that they can, for example, snag a used beige case that holds most any ATX motherboard for somewhere around free (among other ways to scrounge together a system). Other buyers might value their time or the specific elements of this deal like the case design and RGB to consider the premium over retail pricing a win.

A pre-built from HP or Dell might murder this kind of deal for relative value, but such systems also typically require you to accept proprietary motherboard, case, and power supply designs.
Good luck!
Jon

This kind of build good to run 1440p at max settings, just maybe use msi afterburner to overclock GPU 10% higher.
I prefer to buy used on ebay since PC components tend to last several decades. I never had to use warranty on mb or cpu, or ram.

This ain't gonna run AAA games in 1440p at max settings, no way. I know for a fact it wouldn't run MS flight simulator at max settings. Not enough vram.

I have the same RAM, 32GB DDR4 and I play everything just fine. For this price, I feel like it's good.
