it's a scam, people on reddit showed that the physical address resolve to a house in the UK and that you can enter fake credit card information and it'll accept it.

 

When it's too good to be true, it's because it is.

Is it really worth chasing deals, when for just a tiny bit more - you get a sure-fire transaction with totally trust-worthy sources.
I can understand if you're a business and providing whatever components is actually important. Guess my mom taught me that getting a good product is worth the money if you're going to use it a long time.

Chasing that often ephemeral "deal" is a risk. So why risk?

CPU R7 3800X    Motherboard Asus Prime X370 Pro  RAM  24GB Corsair LPX 3000 (at 2933Mhz)    GPU EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 SC  Case Phanteks Enthoo Pro M    

Storage 1 x 1TB m.2 (Windows), 1x 500GB SSD (Linux Mint), 1x 4TB SSD (for data Samsung 870) PSU Corsair RM1000  Cooling deepcool ak620(? probably)

Synology NAS 2 x 8TB
