Don't get me wrong, but this almost looks too good to be true...

Ehh, not really. A solid gaming machine, for sure, but the CPU is 3 years old, for example. I'm sure they don't use the best motherboards out there. The NVMe SSD is also last gen.

It's a locked 4C/8T. Nobody wants those in a new gaming system.

You can get 6C/12T or 8C/12T cpu's for less than 200 bucks (if you are fine with a bit older hardware) that will give the 7700 a big slap in the face.

 

GTX 1080, again, older hardware, still decent tho, but with RX and RTX there's a lot of competition out there.

 

It's average, nothing special, but not terrible too. Price is ok if i would need to make a very badly guess.

It may be good if parts are good. But they're unknown. Or I don't see them.

For this price you can get a decent Ryzen 5 2600 + RX 5700 XT, since the 7700 and 1080 offer more power up front then it's actually a good deal in that regard. However, lack of a CPU upgrade path and not knowing power supply, motherboard, etc is a bit of a shame.

Plus it comes with activated windows and a warranty on the whole build so overall not a bad shake.
