So wait, the ram is 6000 but the board only supports 5600, what's up with that?

I had the same thought! Kind of bottlenecks you (a bit) out of the gate

It doesn't matter. It will just operate at 5600. Sometimes they won't show the (OC) for ram but they will actually run higher from bios.

Maybe, but no one has ever shared it to Slickdeals and I was unsure when it started on Micro Center so thought I'd share.

Decent for someone that just needs only these components. Makes more sense to get a prebuilt from MC for $2,499https://www.microcenter.com/produ...-gaming-pc$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.
Not really because pre built are usually all made with cheap junk parts. The cheapest power supply possible cheapest cooling possible. They cheap out on everything to get you the high specs.

Helium shortages at the point of manufacturing. Waiting for computer chips might be a death sentence unless you are rich AF.
This is true. We are still getting boards and cpus cheap. The prices will start to go up on those just like the ram and nvme

Quote from monkey02 :
this or 270k plus combo ?
The 270k plus bundle is the better deal (either 270k bundles), but people are too stuck in brand loyalty mentality and misunderstanding the gaming differences in most games.
$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)

does the slow ram ruin the deal?

I believe MC's prebuilts are all off-the-shelf name brand components available in their stores, and are perhaps even assembled in-house by their employees. For the system linked in OP's comment, the motherboard and GPU are Gigabyte brand. The case is PowerSpec branded, but I believe they're rebadged Lian Li cases. I suspect the PSUs are PowerSpec branded as well, not sure who makes them for MC. Their pre-builts are warranted and can be returned to the store if issues.

I like scouting/purchasing components and assembling PCs as much as anybody, but I take the OP's point that MC's prebuilts save you the build time and that it's a pretty safe bet that at best I'll break even getting the components myself, and the self-built means that I'm dealing with separate manufacturers for any warranty claims if anything is defective.
