$130 cheaper
+82% FASTER in multi-thread
+8% FASTER in single-thread
-9% SLOWER in gaming (1440p, who is buying high end CPU to play at 1080p or lower? IF you have an RTX 5090) andthe gaming gap shrinks smaller and smaller with weaker GPUs. So like a 5070 build the CPUs will perform the same at 1440p or 4k in most games.
ALSO The 270k builds comes with faster RAM 6000->6400 and a better motherboard chipset B850 (midrange) vs Z890 (premium)

Finally, did you know they have a trade in system? For example if you purchased a video card from them before and later down the road do you want to upgrade, you can bring the old one and they will give you quite a bit of credit if it's passes their tests (to make sure it works) just FYI

$2,499 - $680 =$1,819.00. A 5080 currently goes for $1300. So $1819 - $1300 =$519.00.
The rest of the stuff adds up to about $519. Case, PSU, AIO water cooler, 2TB SSD, Win 11.
No point in wasting time building it.

they go for ~270-280 on ebay per 32gb, and ebay will take 14% cut on top, so you'll get like 220-230 - shipping.
Too many MC bundles. They keep these crappy 36cl planks relatively cheap on fleabay.
