That one is pretty decent. The 9070 XT is $919+ on pcpartpicker alone. CPU is $450. Ram ~$450. Mobo $150-200. That right there is $2000+ alone. Still need SSD, case, etc.

Thoughts? Very similarhttps://www.microcenter.com/product/714627/powerspec-g541-gaming-pc except for the chip?
AMD has gpu price hike coming this month, and Nvidia doing a $500 increase on the 50 series gpus. It's unlikely you get anything cheaper than this at this point.
Worst case hold out till BF/Cyber monday and return this if you find something better, but I think it's highly unlikely.

So the price difference is only $200-250 if you buy the cpu outright but they're charging $400+. I'm sure there's some other little differences but unless you're wanting latest and greatest, this one would work great.

That is $500 for the 5090, which is seemingly not available for less than $5k.
Microcenter is telling you it's over for the 5090, all listings are "not carried" except for the $10k ASUS ROG 20th anniversary edition. Best Buy doesn't have any to order.
5070 is going up $135, but it wouldn't be surprising if the board manufacturers double or triple that.
If someone needs something now, it might not be good to wait.
My kid wants a Gaming Computer to Mod Gorilla tag on his VR. This is way out of the budget of $1000 any body know of a good computer to get, or at least the specs. If figure closer to Xmas there will be sales.
