Before comments like "I Can Build Better at cheaper price" start flooding this thread, I want to put my insight here. I have taken each of the components and did a price check in various standard sites and the price, excluding the OS, is actually going around $1750. Now, if you want to go with cheaper components, different PSU or SSD; waiting for couple of months for deals on each components; yes, may be you can save couple of bucks but that is your call...if you want to spend your effort to save a very minimum amount.

The CPU is around $380, The case is $53, Mobo is around $104, 3000 MHz Ram (8GBx2) is around $149, cheapest price for GTX 2080 is $790, this particular SSD is around $50, 2TB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD is around $60, H60 Cooler is around 70, the PSU on this around $100 and it is already over $1750; excluding the Keyboard , mouse and OS.

Also, this is fully configurable; so you can customize it to save some more bucks. If you can source SSD at cheaper price, simply don't buy it from here to reduce the cost and you can do a lot or combinations to optimize this build as per your need and save some more money.

Another thing: Some so called experts and PC Builders...started claiming the motherboard MSI Z370-PRO has bad VRM and etc...without providing a single review links as expected. Instead of taking their words, you can see the below review of the motherboard MSI 370A-PRO from Anandtech where they were able to overclock i7-8700K to 5.1 GHz Stable...which is actually over than most of the Games are gonna do with their personal desktop.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12...d-review/8

This motherboard is not for running i7-8700K at 5 GHz for 24x7 but for mild overclocking like 4.5 to 4.7 GHz occasionally, the board is good enough. If the user is a extreme overclocker, he or she must know stuffs and will be able to change it from the available options of motherboards.
I just spent 3 months acquiring parts for really good deals and just built my own $1700 PC. It actually just made front page of build a PC subreddit. I prided myself on finding the absolute best deals possible and people were amazing at how cheap I was able to build it for.

This Pre-built definitely gives mone a run for its money.

While I personally would rather a 2700x over the 8700k, this is a remarkable PC. If you haven't built a PC before, I wouldn't recommend learning it all to try and beat this pre-built PC in price/performance. This is a great sale. Great post OP

That is why they are reducing price to clean up 8th gen inventory.

Quote from Vapour :
Founder edition 2080? Not worth it. Wait for factory tweaked version with better specs. Not commenting on building quality...

On the build specified by OP, motherboard has weak VRM for good level overclocking, H60 is kind of weak too. However, if you only want mild overclocking, those two are fine. Ram is not specifying brand, $35 less than Gskill etc, kind of shaky. Aero cool case is not good quality in general. That Gamidas psu is made by Andyson, notorious reputation. On windows, either you have one or buy from legit website. Those very cheap os is not legit and should be avoided. Just run win 10 inactivated, which is allowed by MS.
If you don't like PSU, just change it to something else. Seasonic 650w gold semi modular PSU is available at $4 cheaper. And blanket statement like all case from X company is bad is vague, it should be based on that model. Can you point me a review where this particular chassis is reviewed as bad? And if you don't like it, there are tons of options to select from...why are you complainig? Just change it in the configuration.

Regarding your comments on OS, you're completely wrong. 5here are several deals posted here in Slickdeals, mainly from reputed sites like scdkeys, offering Windows 10 at $12. I personally have purchased 2 keys and they are working fine for last 1.5 years...and I'm not alone.

By the way, ram is going to be Adata xpg z1. I posted many deals from iBuyPower and Cyberpower pc and Adata xpg z1 is their choice for 3000 MHz ram.

Regarding motherboard, same thing applies...change it to something else. There is an Asus model at same price.

Regarding the PSU, here is the review of the 650W version which concluded that this is a very good quality PSU with tons of useful features.

On scdkey, you are totally wrong, they are not legit in the sense those keys are not acquired legally, could be stolen, reused, etc. It is people like you enabling those shady companies to survive. If someone is selling a functional tv in a parking lot for 10 bucks, do you think it legit?

Looks like the imagination striking again on the ram, "I have seen them using adata, so this ram must be adata too." Are you simply dreaming or on the team of Ibuypower? Just LOL.

Aerocool pc case quality and design trails top of line Corsair, Cooler Master, Fractal Design and Phanteks etc. Flimsy material and bad design are common on low quality are common, which is the case for this Cylon case if you read reviews on amazon.

Again, based on the spec you chose, they better pick better parts is my point.
Supposedly SCDKeys buys their keys in bulk so that is why they are able to sell super cheap. Completely doubt that's what they actually do, but that's what they have claimed.

Edit: I did some digging and it looks like Kinguin, SCDKeys, and others rely a lot on bulk purchasing keys for software in other countries and then selling them in the US. For example, the cost of Windows 10 Pro in Nigeria is $70 compared to the US price of $199. Could be cheaper in another country, but Nigeria is the only one I checked real fast. It did state in several articles that keys may be purchased using stolen credit cards, but there are "plenty" that are bought in bulk in countries that offer the software a lot cheaper.

Isn't this like a killer deal since you are getting a 2080? My son just got a Cyberpower with a 1080Ti with otherwise similar specs (air-cooled though) for about the same price from BestBuy and was pretty happy. Should he try and return and buy this instead? Note, geek manager said that they get a lot more returns on iBuypowers than Cyberpower machines for quality issues.
