I went in to buy this at full price. The sales guy let me know they had an open box, that they tested it and it was working perfectly, and if I had any issues at all I could return it. $550 off is awesome! It would have cost thousands more to build this.

PowerSpec G485 - No Reviews Yet - Best 5090 deal out there?

Hi All - currently upgrading from my 5080 setup. I game on a LG 45" OLED 5K2K and the 5080 struggles at full resolution. I have to run most games on DLSS Performance to get acceptable frame rates. This monitor is 33% more pixels than 4K FWIW, so it needs a lot more horsepower than a 4K monitor would need.

This seems to be the best deal out there on a 5090 prebuilt, but there are no reviews. Anyone have any experience with the G485 or recommendations on another 5090 prebuilt for around the $5k price point?

I just priced out these exact same SKU numbers, and today this order would cost me $2,012 BEFORE TAXES. Absolutely insane, I knew ram and SSD had gotten more expensive, but literally every single item on my list, even the speakers, went up significantly in price. What a terrible time to be building a PC.
