The CPU alone costs $345. So that is totally sketchy. Don't fall for that. You can buy individual components from Amazon through reputed sellers. That PC though is total scam.

Yeah thank god you checked here. For the price that is absolutely insane. Especially considering they are new.

But it is also an obvious scam because that is just way too good to be true.

That's not merely 'sketchy', that is a hacked account, posting a bogus sale.

Any 2 of those parts would be $200 or more.
Just leave it...
At best, you'll get your money returned.
At worst, you'll be out $230 and no PC.

Buying a PC from Amazon is one thing.
Buying that PC is a no no.

Didn't we have a similar sale item (on ebay that time) for a gaming pc for 15 dollars? with similar --although a year or so old hardware) like a week ago?
that time ebay pulled the item after 5 pieces sold. The OP of that thread got a refund from paypal.

Those appear every once in a while.
Usually fleabay, but rarely, and in this case, Amazon.

Not even worth the time trying to buy it, because it is 100% bogus.
