For those specs, that's a seriously good deal. 😀

Shame it's Gigabyte, who I have sorely fallen out of favor with. Thankfully I've never personally have been burned by them, but just too many bad stories have cropped up about them, including silently swapping out cheaper parts with their motherboards, and revisions out the wahoo...

Personally ive had several motherboards/graphic-cards by them and none have had any issues (not yet anyway) Currently on the B550M DS3H mobo and RTX 3060 12 GB since july, no issues whatsoever

In any case, taking at look at Gigabyte's current offerings, as well as comparable offerings from other brands and manufacturers, just a little under $1,200 with the latest parts and technologies is extremely optimistic. Call it sour grapes, since I literally just bought a refurbished laptop for a similar price, unless it's because it has an AMD processor (which is just a valid, if not more so than Intel) a lot of these numbers don't really add up, and I'm guessing retailers are probably going to pad the price, if not raised by Gigabyte at the last second.
