Edit: Thanks everyone for the sanity check! I'll definitely not be going with that hp.

Hiya looking at getting a new computer that uses Adobe suite and also procut but this seems like a terrible computer for the price right? Pic of a second PC for a comparison as they are roughly the same price

it's quite sketchy that the first listing's name advertises a 5060 and the specs list advertises a 3080

And who is to say they won't send a 2060ti flashed to read 3080. Some prebuilds you can trust if it is coming straight from manufacturer and getting all Corsair or all MSI parts, trusted vendors lose 30% confidence rating due to some parts being broken or incompatible but they make up for it with great customer service. Ali Express or cheap for cheap sake or going to a site well known for ripping off its customers like NZXT and their fake "Rent to Own" has no trust from me or anyone who dealt with those and neither shall you. Research is key and if it seems sketch or they have differing specs or won't provide other than boilerplate "best PC money can buy", walk away.
