It's still $999 for a 7500x3d+5060 at microcenter. Why get "steam machine at home" when you can just get an atx build that runs circles around it all.

If you have some patience it's very possible to find a deal out there just by looking at slickdeals every now and then until something pops up, but the best time to buy would have been before November '25... but there are always deals from time to time if you are patient and keep looking.
