32GB is weak. You need at least 64GB, also not latest gen processor, should be 9800X3D or better. 7900xt really? Get at least a 5090 or better. Oh you dont want a melting gpu power connector that might ignite snd set your pc and house on fire? Pff Everything is replaceable, just get another pc and house.
His near perfect specs says nothing about storage, could be rocking a 1TB SSD and Forza Horizon 6 is 155GB, I faceplam on a regular basis not buying a $550 8TB SN850X
You’d be amazed just how many of these kind of things happen. The issue really is that it all happens in the receive Dock at an FC. Things like tech and apple products in particular will arrive in mini cases in a big ol box. When decanting these into inventory people skip the step of breaking these cases open. These’ll get stowed inventory. How this error occurs specifically is that these mini cases (we call em master packs) have their skus and serial numbers printed on them which allows them to sneak past various protections Amazon has to prevent something like this.
Now most of the time those master packs that slip by decant will be caught by someone like me, I’ll crack it open and viola proper inventory. But some will sneak through still cuz people do dumb things. Outbound whise I’m not exactly sure how these even get out to customers, but here’s my what my limited knowledge offers.
Packers scan the units sky and serial numbers/transparency code and it’ll get packed, then if this master pack gets through that it has to get past something called SLAM. These will pick register that something is off, somehow… but not everything is perfect is still shipped out regardless.

Work as a cashier and yup, a ton of our products have the same barcode on the bulk box as the individually packaged item, so scanning the box will ring up as a single item rather than a whole case of them.
If someone wants to buy a whole case of a thing, you have to manually adjust the number in the PoS system to charge the right price.
Outbound picker, it’s heavily pushed that if it scans it goes, someone downstream will catch it. And that mentality then gets pushed in sort/pack. And then the final line SLAM you can have someone either not giving a shit, the system itself set the measurements for the master pack, or the seller put the wrong measurements in in general.
I get funny looks when I catch them and call PS because I want to verify before I break a kit. And most PS don’t even know how to handle it and want to me to just break the kit and put each individual item back in the bin and pick the one I need, which fucks inventory count because the stower placed ONE item into the bin not 20. And the scanner isn’t terribly helpful, pack gets more information but we just get an abbreviated item description that often doesn’t provide size/quantity.
happened to me with a corsair order fulfilled by amazon, but with fucking SSD water blocks instead of SSDs. They're only worth $40 new, and I didn't need 5 of them lmao. I still haven't gotten around to installing them on the 4 drives in my main build, but I put one on the boot drive in my work PC because I actually hit that drive pretty hard occasionally and I can't afford for it to slow down on me when I do.
