A little concerned about build quality from reviews and some Cyberpower unboxing videos online, going to make a list of things to check. Buying this instead of building my own from scratch, but plan to turn this into a ship of Theseus situation over time.

I'll also have something set up and ready when deals come along for all the things I will probably eventually upgrade.
So this ended up being $2360.61 after all is said and done. I'm still trying to determine if it's worth it.

Edit :nevermind Intel oos
The intel one also had some scratches on the case and a dent on the top. The box wasn't sealed that well so I expect it was a return. They gave me another 10% off.
I would recommend reversing the front two fans for intake. By default they come as exhaust. Probably for esthetics. On the intel the 120mm aio wasn't cooling the cpu enough and was thermal throttling. If you decide to add a bigger AIO a 360 won't fit because there isn't enough clearance with the cables going to the motherboard. I'm guessing they use cheap thermal grease. I went with noctua and the temp dropped from maxing out at 100 to 88C.
The AMD came pretty much as the OP listed it with a gigabyte 3080. The intel had an EVGA. Overall they are pretty darn fast computers and benchmark very high. The AMD benchmarked better than the Intel which is a known fact.
