This seems to good to be true, is it?

It is not very clear about the specifics of a lot of the parts but the CPU and GPU alone are worth more then the asking price. It claims to be brand new, have 2Tb of storage, a 128Gb SSD, a water cooled i7-6700K paired with a 970.  all for an asking price of  $627.97 shipped (including a 2 year extended parts and labor warranty (3 years in total)

Even if the everything except the CPU and GPU is bare minimum, I have no need for blazing RAM, I can then sell the rest and buy what I want. Input? are there some strings attached I am missing? There is no way this is true...

Says it's liquidation on the seller info. But the seller just launched and has no ratings. If you want to deal with some hassle if it ends up that way, as long as you have the time, you should be good. Amazon deals with these things pretty well.

I would take it up with amazon first, I am pretty sure they could help me out. If not just start seeing if I could charge back. If that is a no go then I would take the time to file a crime report.

If it comes down to it, you can block the purchase with your credit card. But then Amazon would terminate your account and ban your credit card.

Well I would go debit but yeah, the only thing I would lose if my account got terminated are a few items in my purchase history non of which I need the receipt for.

 

Edit: oh yeah, and my $0.01 balance

Well I was logging on to buy it and it was no longer available. Shame.

 

Edit: it is listed again from someone else for $500. Once again it is a brand new account selling hundreds of items. It was probably a scam anyways, dodged a bullet there.
