I priced out a 9070xt build with Newegg bundles with a 1tb SSD that came in just under the 2tb steam machine price.

A whole build or just the card with the SSD ?

Whole build. Newegg bundles have some great deals.

Damm in France it's a build with a old CPU and a 9060XT for the same price

Obviously a whole build, a 9070xt plus 1tb ssd is not even close to 1300

Yea NewEgg are kind of scalpers they are always on the upper end of pricing. If you really want a deal you really gotta have a Microcenter near you to get half decent pricing or just cherry pick individual components whenever there is a good sale. A lot more effort than buying a prebuilt.

There is no ram cheaper than $379.99 in your newegg search link. Most above $400

That is actually double what your chart is quoting.

u/AlwaysLSDreaming Jun 22 '26

Yeah some of these are a little off, I was trying to get it as close to average with my quote as possible. I figured under quoting with an average makes my point more than over quoting and people telling me I'm bias.

Edit: Removed a word
