The Vortex ST-S for 1299 (the direct link is way too long to post on GameFAQs)

It seems to be much cheaper than any other RTX 30X0 build I've seen, which either means it's a great deal or there's something seriously lacking.

My other concern is the crap case with no slot for an optical drive when I use my PC to watch Blu-Rays, but I'm sure that can be worked around.

Normally I wouldn't buy a preconfigured PC, but the same spec directly from PC Specialist looks to be about 300 more, so this one might actually be worth missing the chance to customise it.

I'm not great with PCs, I looked more out of curiosity. But don't most people use 3200MHz RAM? This is 2400, still DDR4 so I'm not sure how much it matters in the end, and really upgradable for cheap if you want to.

The other thing, and maybe I missed it on the page, is that the power supply isn't listed so I imagine that's a corner they cut. As long as there's enough power for the machine then it should be fine, but it's probably not going to be efficient.
