PS5 anyone?

Here are the specs I’m looking for and my estimated costs for reputable brands. I haven’t found any retailer selling prebuilt machines to meet this for less than $3,500 and all with lead times of at least a month.

10th or 11th gen Intel 9000 series CPU ($500)
Liquid cooler ($100)
Case fans ($125)
Z590 motherboard ($225)
32MB DDR 4 3600 memory ($185)
M.2 primary drive 500GB ($100)
M.2 secondary drive 2TB ($300)
RTX 3080 or better GPU (???????)
850W or better power supply ($150)
Multi-gig NIC ($100)
 
Saw a story on CBS a couple times today about "Grinch-bots", folks using software to scan retail sales sites at least once a second then buying out their inventory on the latest "must-haves" (PS5, Xbox, etc) when they come into stock. Then they're resold on eBay for two to three times the original costs. Totally legal.
 
There's a special place in hell for people that do that sort of thing. It's just down the road from where they keep the ticket scalpers.
