9950X3D ($650), motherboard ($290), and G.Skill S5 RAM that this appears to come with ($212) are ~$1,150 by themselves. This appears to have a ZOTAC GAMING AMP Extreme INFINITY which is $1,200 at Newegg right now, so $2,350 thus far.
I'd argue that a case, PSU, 2TB NVMe, AIO CPU cooler, W11 Pro, keyboard, mouse, assembly and 1-year warranty are probably worth the remaining $350.
Microcenter has been dropping $1999 5090s every 2-3 days, I got my ASUS TUF last week, and passed on a Gigabyte that also popped at $1999.
There are regularly $299 deals for 7700X + B650. Find the B650 open box and you can get the combo down to ~$260.
A few smoking 32GB RAM deals for $50-$80 these past two weeks. About $60 for a 1TB SSD.
Call it $100 for a PSU (not the best, obviously), and $140 for a case suitable for a 5090.
Now you're around $2700 (same as this deal) with a bit of luck and/or repurposing old components. Still need Windows of course!

The two sheets of glass are held on by some double sided tape stuck to a metal bracket at one side. This has very little strength, so it sags. It would have been much better to have two holes drilled into the glass through the bracket to hold it stable. They sag constantly. The large side panel is, of course, the worst as the glass is fairly heavy. I've upgraded the adhesive to some gorilla glue and I've also applied some heavy duty tape over the hinges. Even with all of that, I have to have tape hanging down from the top, at the glass/glass intersection, to keep the case closed. And of course, keeping the case closed is important to keep your dust levels down.
Looks great, works as well as a solar powered flashlight.
