Long time lurker, but as someone who ordered a very similar build PC during Black Friday, I thought I'd give people a heads up.
Expect MASSIVE wait/delay times. I know the website says they'll probably ship in February, but there's still a ton of people waiting in queues for their PCs from late November (including me). Yes, I understand that this is mostly due to Ryzen 5000x and RTX 3000 series GPUs shortages.
If you ever want to change/cancel an order, know that you'll have a ton of trouble reaching their customer service, as their lines are busy all day. The few times I've tried calling, I was put on hold for over 2 hours each time. If you check ibuypower's subreddit, you'll find a lot of angry people because they're unable to get in touch with IBP. https://www.reddit.com/r/iBUYPOWE...lick_here/
With that said, if you don't mind waiting a month (probably two), I hear their build quality is fine. The reason I ordered is so that I could get a new build with a new ryzen 5000 chip and RTX 3000 without having the headache of trying to find it in stock online anywhere.
Yes it is. But as you know there are some trolls and haters here. The moment I posted the deal, it started getting Thumbs Down by those. Thanks for showing your support and giving the proper voting.
The full MSRP of this PC is cheaper than scalper prices for a standalone RTX 3070

I can't get it for $1346.15 no matter what I chose. Cheapest I can get is 1348 and thats without an OS. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong but I am using the exam same spec as posted.

There is a 5% Coupon code mentioned in the post. Have you applied that?
This is what ppl need to know going into these deals though
This essentially a pre order. Hence the discount. Cyber power ipower all DEFER, NO RUSH is cause they don't have them. No one does. Except Chinese bitcoin farms. 40k hello.
This isn't BB. With a b & m you can deal with or hell even amazon.
I love the deal and wish I could finally pull the trigger. But I just can't bring myself to do it.

No there's actual total losers who crap on these deals because they saw a better price 2 years ago. News flash, if you don't know of a better price for this deal, stfu.

With availability being difficult, this is a good deal for sure, I heard though if you want any upgrades such as 5900x or 3080, it will be a long wait.
Truly insane deal - thanks a ton for posting this.
Personally got the $9 RGB keyboard, the $5 HDMI cable, the $5 WIFI adapter, and upgraded for another $42 or something to the GIGABYTE Aorus RGB RTX 3070 - which retails for $650, so for going from the base $500 RTX 3070 to this for $650 for just $42 more seems like a pretty great deal to me. No idea if there's any meaningful difference in performance (if someone can let me know if they do know), but hey, at least there are pretty lights if nothing else.
Total came out to $1388 before tax.
Absolutely killer deal for a 32 GB RAM 1 TB SSD 3070 5600X system. Question - how did you even get these prices when the frontpage deal is so much worse and so much more expensive?

I have explained the pricing difference reason multiple times, including this deal as well. The reason is that normally these boutique Companies like CyberpowerPC, iBuyPower, offer one deal which you can consider as deal of the day for them, with reduced price for the same components, than their normal Gaming PC configuration. However, finding them is a bit challenging because either they may come with a very pricy higher end configuration (Say with a 3950X and RTX 3090) or a lower end configuration (Say 3600 and RTX 2060). You need to research a bit by configuring those different configs and see which one offer cheaper price.
The other iBuyPower deal you see is their normal configuration whereas this one is probably their deal of the day configuration.

Your deals are always legit and you give sound advice.
I don't always agree but I find it sound and understandable and just a different style and approach.
Some people can't step away and understand that sometimes it's not about being right but respecting your opinion.
Anyhow, as always great deal man.
did they raise the price?
