I got a quote from PCSpecialist for a build priced at £1,608, but I'm in the US, so it might cost me differently. Here are the specs they provided: AMD Ryzen 7 9800 8-core CPU, a Gigabyte B850 Aros motherboard, 32GB DDR5 RAM at 5200MHz, a Zotac GeForce 5060 Ti with 16GB memory, and a 750W Corsair power supply. Are these specs decent? The price seems suspiciously low, and I'd appreciate any input on whether it's a good deal or not.

Not sure why you'd go for a UK site while being in the US. You could potentially save £400 by checking out local retailers instead.
You might want to consider alternative options. For about £1,634, you could get a better setup with a Ryzen 5 7600x, RX 9070 XT, and improved RAM and storage specs. That may serve you better in the long run.
Honestly, that price seems off. Just for the 5060 Ti, I remember it going for around $2,000 by itself a couple of weeks ago. Something doesn’t add up here.
Just double-check the RAM speed. For that price point, 6000MT/s would be ideal rather than what’s listed. It’s worth looking into!
The specs don't look too bad overall. However, there’s a bit of an imbalance since the GPU is weaker compared to the CPU. A better price range might be around $300-$400 more to align with current part values.
