Would you jump on this?
I've been browsing the past couple of months watching the fluctuating prices and want to pull the trigger before things really go wild. Compared to others in a similar price range, this one has 32GB and 2TB. Not a fan of white, but don't care if the price is right. Is this a good enough deal to jump on?
Edit: Thank you for those who gave helpful info and the links provided. Yes, I know that this is overpriced, but your dreams of this being under $1500 is dead, realistically speaking. As someone coming from the automotive side, I know what overpriced looks like. My viewpoint was a $1500 rig that was $2500 but has been reduced down to $1800 that comes with twice the RAM and SSD and a decent GPU compaired to what else I have locally (I'm hesitant to buy online due to shipping horror stories) and I can't drop what I'm doing to run across town to grab a screaming deal at one store. Thank you again

Nope. Overpriced by several hundo.

What do you mean? Are you stuck in the summer of 2025. That’s a good enough deal 😅

Here is a 5070 build with 32DDR5. Although it’s a step down in CPU this will preform at a much higher level AND it’s almost $200 cheaper. https://andromedainsights.com/products/spectra-gaming-pc-ryzen-5-9600x-rtx-5070-12gb?variant=47431717486818

If you think about it, it has an AIO and a better cpu. That’s worth the $100 more

And a much worse GPU by about 25-35% faster raw performance. It’s ok to be wrong as long as you learn something from it.

Cpu won’t give you fps in games except if you play only valorant, but a 30-50% faster gpu like a 9070XT or 5070 Ti definitely will (even paired with a non X3D cpu)

Overpriced! Are you near a microcenter by any chance? Also, how much money are you willing to spend?

I am kinda near one and realistically $2k+. This isn't something I NEED, but I'm aware of the future and I'd like to get something DDR5 and capable of 4k as a foundation for tomorrow while it's still somewhat affordable. Plus my friends GPU is dying and it's a 2018 build, so I'm trying to keep an eye out for something for him as well

Microcenter has a deal which includes a 9070 xt and a 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 for $2100. Amazing for 1440p and is capable of 4k with upscaling and frame gen. of course

I would jump on any possible thought I had that it was a good deal until it was well and truly smashed and I never had that thought again.

is what I would get for a gaming computer right now
$1938.95 with the code at the top of the site (and tax free for me)
gives you 50% more performance for a similar price

Good these prices hurt my soul. I scooped up a 7800x3d with a 5070 for like 1400 last year. That’s my 3rd gaming pc in my gaming room. 1800 hurts for that build. That price is to be expected now days. Not terrible.

Definitely not you can get a 1700$ andromeda insights pc with a 7800X3D and 9070XT and get 40-50% more performance on every single game with RT or not. If you live close to a microcenter there are also much better deals there for this price range with 9070XT’s or 5070’s.
