It's definitely not good.
You're somewhere between meh and bad because of GPU prices these days. You're basically paying $1000 for the video card + 700 for everything else. Those parts don't amount to 700 and the $1000 is already higher than MSRP.
Without details on the case, motherboard, RAM, warranty etc I def say meh, that's the reality these days.

If its a custom build from a shop (since you mention tax) I'd say its an average deal at best, again a lot depends on the mobo/case, but it comes down to how much you want a 30xx RTX card since they're still not the easiest of things to get.
If you're savvy enough to gather the parts and build you're own, you'll likely come out with either higher quality over all at the same price range or spend a lot less if you're not particular to retail purchase only on the parts.
Haggle Room? 0 If you don't buy it someone will eventually come along you can try to ask for $100 off. This is the reality of the market.PerformingAzura wrote: ↑ Motherboard is crap. Some B450.

The same build with a 6800xt turns out 100$ less but I wanted to go Nvidia.
I have the receipts for the cpu, gpu, psu, memory, ssd and case.
Overpaying alot for the gpu, but getting a Nvidia gpu at retail seems impossible.
What's my haggle room? What should this PC cost?
I am determined to get a 3070 or 3060ti minimum.
Don't want to line outside BestBuy to get a GPU.
It is a custom build from someone I know.
I've been following online BestBuy drops a since January and haven't gotten a single card yet. I hear the new thing now is wait for them to update their blog and then lineup at the stores mentioned in the blogs. But unless these drops happen on the weekends my 9 to 5 won't allow me to do that.coilz wrote: ↑Where are you located OP? 3070s are coming into stock at stores like Memoryexpress more often. If you're willing to buy a whole new build from them they'll get you a 3070 for sure. Same with Canada computers. Getting a 3070 from best buy is not impossible. Last week I went to check out the line at opening and would've been able to get an EVGA 3070 ticket if i wanted to.
The system listed for basically $2000 is not that great. Like previous poster said you're paying full retail price on the parts and way more for the GPU. Just goto Memory express or Canada computers and they'll sell you all the parts at MSRP.
So the custom PC is definitely better than those two Armoury PC's. Price and parts quality wise.gh05t wrote: ↑ Canada Computers usually have competitive prices on their prebuilts and their price for that config is around $2k before taxes.

Granted the parts may not be the same brands/quality, your system may be an OK deal for that configuration.
Wait how did everyone miss this part? A system with a 5600X and 6800XT for $1900 CAD tax included is a hell of a deal. The 6800XT is noticeably faster than the RTX 3070.PerformingAzura wrote: ↑ The same build with a 6800xt turns out 100$ less but I wanted to go Nvidia.
