Very tempting to just part it out - the CPU and the GPU would fetch almost the price of the whole unit, and the unit could be sold without a GPU PROVIDED the motherboard has some sort of video out, which they don't tell you... The CPU could be used in a HTPC (I would love to put it in my A300, but will likely need new BIOS). Lots of possibilities right now, but also lots of unknowns...

The fact that processors and video cards are in short supply and selling for three times what they should makes me hesitate to spend this kind of money in the current market. I know that you might have to spend $900 to get an RTX 3060 at the present time, but they were supposed to cost close to a third of that when they were launched. If you figure you "should" be paying around $350 for a Ryzen 5 5600G (just a guess since they're OEM) and around $350 for an RTX 3060, this is a pretty good deal for what you're getting. I wouldn't blow it out of proportion though. You're still getting only 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a 400W power supply and I'd definitely want to upgrade those at additional cost.

Yeah, agree, too much of a gamble really, I'll probably skip it...
