I'm looking at this deal for a prebuilt:

Lenovo LOQ 17IRR9 Tower PC — $749.99

  • Intel Core i5-14400F (10 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.7GHz)
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (8GB GDDR6)
  • RAM 16GB DDR5
  • 512GB SSD
  • PSU 500W

For some context, my PC has a 1070 in it. I'm a budget conscious gamer, usually playing at 1080p. With ram prices skyrocketing and steam betting on steam machines with low vram going forwards, I feel like it's an okay deal for a guy who upgrades basically never.

It seems like a nice deal to me. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

That's a pretty good price for components from the future, if that includes shipping. You have to keep in mind Wormhole Post has really high fees.
You could try Blackhole Express, but they tend to always stretch things.
