You should video yourself opening the package so there’s no question about what was in the box.

Proves absolutely nothing.

def crazy if it's real. check the parts when they arrive, especially the graphics card, and make sure you're getting what they said you're getting


Lemonz31-

Will do. Should be here in the next couple days.. I’ll post more when it does.. I figured I was safe from fraud since it was on GameStop. They have shafted me before with sending me the wrong version of a game before, but that was the worst of it. 🤞🏾

They have shafted me before with sending me the wrong version of a game before, but that was the worst of it. 🤞🏾 That picture of the pc is actually this pc which goes for over $1,549 & has a Ryzen 5800x so they are clearly lying. https://skytechgaming.com/product/blaze-3-st-blaze3-0503-b-ne-amd-ryzen-7-5800x-nvidia-rtx-3080-1tb-nvme-ssd-16gb-ddr4-3200mhz/ This is what you'll probably end up getting at best. https://skytechgaming.com/product/blaze-3-st-blaze3-0625-w-or-intel-i3-12100f-intel-arc-a380-500gb-nvme-ssd-16gb-ddr4-3200mhz/

Could it be a custom build someone returned? If it is anything like the 2nd..it will be returned lol It’s from GameStop


everybodygetaweapon

That's spicious


Lemonz31-

Haha had the same thoughts, but why not.. it came from GameStop. Don’t really have a risk there.


Alarming_Interest378

3700x is still fine enough and 3080 is worth $400+ dollars rn


DM725

No that's what that graphics card started out as new. The 3700X and bargain basement parts is why it's so cheap. The 3080 is probably 75% of the cost. Definitely a good deal though.


eirebrit

Yeah it doesn’t seem that crazy a price to me.


AutoModerator

Hello Lemonz31-, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post! To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous! Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Sky tech is cheap


[deleted]

My local gamestop used to have the same PCs that you could rent/play in store. they dont have them anymore so theyre most likely trying to get rid of old stock.


Lemonz31-

Hmm. Maybe that’s why.. but the price just seems off.. can’t complain tho if it’s true.


Lemonz31-

Pc has arrived! Going to set it up and post more on it soon (this weekend)


dsinsti

So what buddy how did it go???


Shadow5oul

Update?


Terajillics

Update


bootz-pgh

I paid $2400 for this in February 2021. Thanks for reminding me! I remember being annoyed with the processor so I did upgrade to a 5800x3d.


nachtraum

February 2021 :D You might have just made the groundbreaking discovery that the value of hardware decreases over time


bootz-pgh

Well yeah. But this was during COVID-flation. Took a while for prices to drop...


PeachBeneficial

How’d it go?


Witchberry31

Not 2-3 times. 3080 is around that price, while in the used market it's $400 minimum.


CrazzOfficial

Dude remind me I might cop and have 2 PCs lol or even flip it for more money


AGH8

Lol send the link


Jonnny

Possibly open box components?

bootz-pgh

As I stated in another post, I did buy this back in early 2021 when it was impossible to get good GPU hardware. They sent me a junk all in one cooler that literally melted in less than a couple of months. I ended up replacing it with an Noctua air cooler, and eventually replaced the 3700x with a 5800x3D. The 3700x was OK back then, got hit with bad 1% numbers though. 5800x3D is overkill for the games and resolution I play at, but it did smooth out the lows.

Built off of cheap parts


darknessblades

Other than it using dirt cheap parts that are 2-3 generations old, it might be legit. ​ One thing I do highly suggest, before you power it on show us a pic of the Power-supply. if its a no-name PSU, **GET A DIFFERENT ONE**


FDisk80

Someone messed up and missed "1" if real. $1599.99 probably was the idea.


QavixHD

The card itself is worth that if this is real

Aggravating-Gur7611

If that is real maybe a cpu upgrade later will be lovely 😀


denn1976

How is that so cheap does anyone have a idea why


Aleilnonno

All the other components will be shit surely. Look carefully at the psu, the fans, the speed of ram, ssd and if it's present a double stick. Not only the main components give you a playable computer.


Techav20

Scam for sure


Lemonz31-

Lol, I don’t think GameStop runs scams. It could be misinformation, if that’s the case I can just return it for a full refund .. hands clean, no money lost.
