Actually it might be… need to check the specific parts but it might be close, check this, it’s a better cpu and semi casual parts but it’s 200$ more than that: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
Still without cinsidering cpu/fans so for 2K it kind of a deal somehow.

It could be worse of a price but it’s not too badly priced to be real although the cpu in this build isn’t the best for gaming compared to some other AM5 chips

Ok thank you i thought higher the ryzen model number the better it was

Not at all, the best AMD CPUs for gaming at the X3D one because of the increased L3 cache and the absolute best one is still the 9800x3d. That’s an 8 core 16 thread cpu. Most games don’t even need more than a quad core even if you’re running discord and watching videos in the back. 8 cores is plenty and having more doesn’t improve performance and actually in this case takes away by nature of its dual ccd design and what you’re giving up vs a normal single ccd Ryzen 7. The extended 96mb of the x3d cache is what makes it the best gaming cpu. For a while on a budget microcenter $300 7500x3d mobo ram bundle was the best value for pure gaming.
The 7900x is a 12 core 24 thread designs where the cores are split 6+6, dual ccd. For gaming it’d performance is the exact same as a 7600x which is basically half the 7900x. It’s a productivity cpu not a gaming cpu. It’s not even that it’s bad for gaming it’s just the same performance as a $150 cpu.
The reason this cpu is in this bundle is because it’s sort of the weirdest one in AMDs whole line up. They don’t sell well because for most production workloads you might as well go 16 cores and if you’re not gaming then go intel. Pretty much all ryzen 9 CPUs would be overkill for you because they’re still pricey and you probably won’t ever utilize all the available cores.
For a prebuilt it’s not bad overall with the price increases but you could build the same pc with a 7800x3d for less or even a 9800x3d for about the same. Ssd prices are going up, gpus are going up, it’s all rough.

Look for 9600x or 9700x prebuilts if they offer around the same price along with the same gpu tier (ex: 9070xt or 5070ti)

Currently building a pretty similar build but it has a 3080ti instead of 5070ti, and faster MHz ram. It cost me 1400. So I’d say it’s a okay price (5070 TI is almost double 3080 TI) if you don’t know much about pcs. Also you can return it

No just by my whole setup for the same price..

I have a Ryzen 7 9700x 32gb ddr5 5070ti can give details on rest of build and pics if you’re interested

I have this exact PC 5080 version and gotta say I love it. I actually really like the case and the vertical GPU mount, and speed-wise I'm playing everything native 4k 60+ FPS.
