RTX 2080 TI: 1200
Ram: 120
PSU: 60
1TB HDD: 35
500GB SSD: 75

Bought this 3 days ago. When it arrives, I'll post the brand of the 2080Ti that came with it.

TU. Good find, OP. All quality parts. They didn't skimp on the motherboard and RAM, unlike many pre-builts from Dell, HP, Cyberpower, Ibuypower, etc. The price seems right too considering building a system with the exact same parts adds up to $2,550-ish.

Processor: Intel i7-9700K - $ 410
Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Taichi - $ 180 (AR)
Video Card: RTX 2080 Ti - $ 1,200
Memory: G.Skill TridentZ 16GB 3200 - $ 140
PSU: Thermaltake Smart DPS G 750 - $ 90
Primary Drive: HP EX900 500GB - $ 100
Secondary Drive: 1TB HDD 7200 - $ 40
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake WATER 3.0 240mm - $ 110
Fans: Thermaltake 5 x 120mm Riing Fans - $ 140
Case: Thermaltake View 32 RGB - $ 130
Thermal Paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut - $ 10
TOTAL: - $ 2,550

If I was to nitpick, I'd ask for:
1. a higher wattage PSU. 750W is on the low side for such a powerful system.
2. a case with better air flow, which really sucks in this case in the stock configuration according
to reviews. SkyTech put 5 fans in it though, so the temps may be OK, esp. if that 2080 Ti is
blower style (it's not specified on the product page).

The total comes to ~$2,400 with tax for me in CA. That's about what I've spent on my build hunting for deals for about 4 months now, albeit I have an I-9 9900K CPU vs this system's 9700K, 32GB of 3200MHz CL14 RAM vs this system's 16GB 3200 with unspecified CL, 1200W Platinum PSU vs 750W Gold. I have the same motherboard but a better air flow case - the Cooler Master H500M.

If I was in the market for a good gaming computer now, I'd definitely get this system and save myself the time and hassle of hunting for deals and waiting for rebates for months. 9700K with 2080 Ti coupled with 16GB of 3200MHz RAM and an NVMe SSD is all one needs for a happy gaming experience in the foreseeable future. In those rare instances (once or twice a month) when I go over 16GB of RAM, I could make do with working in just one Virtual Machine at a time or closing a few of the dozens of my open browser pages.

EDIT: Oh yeah, don't forget about the 5% cash back from the well known cashback site!

I thought Overpowered was the walmart brand with the bad reviews? i saw about five separate unboxing of "OP" brand from walmart and they were all negative. One guy ordered a 1080 and got a 1070 in his machine! they messed up his order but some people may never notice. Skytech isn't a walmart brand, is it?

Over Powered is the Walmart brand. Get your facts straight... lol

That said, nope. Skytech is not a Walmart brand. One of the main distribution channels come via NewEgg.

SkyTech is not made by Walmart. They are just like Cyberpower and iBuyPower.

Not sure why all the TD this deal is smoking hot for a prebuilt. Pretty sure you can't even build yourself with the same components and come out ahead.

This is very tempting. I do not have any AAA games at the moment and my 1060 laptop is capable of doing what I need. But this price is not bad considering it would cost at least $2,600 before tax at Newegg with this configuration. Looks like I'm going to give in.

The TD are from all the experts who build ones cheaper and better in their sleep. You know, the savvy geniuses who buy "legit" copies of windows for $10 on eBay.

Great find OP. +rep.
