I came across a prebuilt gaming PC that has an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and an Nvidia 5080 GPU for $2600. I'm wondering if there's anything suspicious about this deal or if it's truly a good offer in the current market. Has anyone experienced something similar or have advice on checking the specs to avoid getting scammed?

It’s likely they'll use the cheapest mATX board available, probably skimp on RAM (like just one stick), and have a budget PSU. That said, considering today’s market, it’s not a bad deal.
I asked them about the parts, and they said it's a GIGABYTE B850 GAMING WIFI6 ATX board, 16GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. How does that stack up?
