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

This entire purchase is for testing out the 3300x and getting my hands on actual decent 3070 for less than $900
I already have a 5800x and 3700x, and a ventus 3070 and am selling my Saphire pulse 5700xt for $550...plus another kit of crucial rgb to replace that single stick... and a Evga sc 1070 to replace that bad ass Gigabyte master card, then after finnaly testing the 3300x I'll be selling the system for $700 after strip the 1tb nvme drive and replace it with a cheaper ssd
Damn man you throw cash around like it's nothing, I want to be like you lol
If you get it with all the cheapest parts and 3070 you're total will be $1110.50. Free upgrade to pc3200 8gb>16gb

You dropped 1300 to get a 3300x and 8gb of ram? Ouch
But obviously if I wasn't buying this for two specific components this wouldn't be a good deal for me or anyone else at all. I agree with you a thousand percent in that point and I should have made it clear that the gpu and cpu were my Main focus.
Back in November I bought one of the ez ship 2 day systems to get myself a 3700x to replace my old 3800x I used in my buddys rig, and I was praying I would get the Evga or a solid giant triple fan. When I opened it and saw I got the Ventus 3x oc I foolishly was excited thinking I got a "premium" model. I mean it's a $580 card from original msrp...and it shouldn't be. It's voltage regulation is absolute trash and it and it's 2x fan counterpart are worse than any other 3070. In my local market and eBay it's impossible to get a card at msrp. So buying these prebuilt units allows me to do that. Both of my first two responses were arrogant and I apologize fully.
Damn man you throw cash around like it's nothing, I want to be like you lol
I don't my friend, I use a mix of credit/deal hunting and have been able to provide about 40 custom systems over the last couple years that allowed my knowledge and skills to grow and in being fair I built up a good reputation among my clients.
Then i do Amazon/Newegg/Craigslist and Facebook hunting and try to get lucky with product drops. That 5700xt I got for $200 three weeks ago. I had to drive an hour and a half before my shift to do it, but My premonition was right and I know it would be worth it. My goal is to cut down my real job to 3 days a week to keep my insurance and then spend at least another 3 on a mix of eBay and local markets. I wasted my entire 20's and when I got my first crappy Pc to play pubg for my 29th birthday it changed my life completely. I grew up dirt poor and never had a computer or real tech in my life past consoles. I'm 32 now and I've been able to get from a credit score of 505 with almost 20 grand of debt to now I'm at a 675/700 and owe less than 5. PC gaming and fixing hardware changed my life completely. I'm frugal af on everything except my dog and Pc parts lol.

Glad you found your passion which also helped turn your life around. I have a friend who also has a knack for finding deals on hard-to-get PC parts & other things. It does seem to take a certain level of skill and patience.

That's good to hear man, sooner or later you might even start your own business
I was lucky enough to order an RTX 3070 from Best Buy but this seems to be a better deal. From what I'm pricing out, it will be tough to beat this price buying individually.
Has anyone purchased ibuypower through shopmyexchange.com specialty store: Ibuypower? I am trying to get this build and the ibuypower link looks outdated and giving me issues. I sent a message to ibuypower to help me with this, just curious how other military/ veteran have a history like this before.

It is very good dwal during a pandemic. Even Microcenter increases price of graphic cards.
