The Legion 7 with a RTX 3080 was on sale on walmart in this thread but its sold out now which is not a surprise

But i found another good deal for a Legion 5 Pro with a RTX 3070 for only $1400

honestly that is very good advice as the legion series is one of the highest if not the highest rated brand and model. a 3070 is still the sweet spot but if you can push a bit the 3080 might be worth getting but don't expect dramatically better framerates.
