they skimped on the mobo (if the website is any indicator…)

severely lacking of i/o ports…

ibuypower usually cheaps out on the something and the mobo looks to be it
Go this route, and pick your own MB. Use code SPRING, and I think the price is similar and/or slightly cheaper (make sure to select the Spring bonus $100 off). Default is the MSI board, which is decent.

After making some changes, this seems to be a batter deal, when using code "SPRING", and you can tweak to your liking.

So, What would you choose between your 2nd and this,

Basically, your 2nd has i7-12700, but 3070Ti 8G, and mine has i7-11700, 3080 10G ..

For gaming only?

I would go with an i5 12600 and the 3080. Smilie

The i5 12600K is a better CPU than the i7-1170.

The i5 12600 is a beast. Probably best bang for out right now. I have an i7 12700/3080 and my friend's rig is 12600/3080 and mine doesn't outperform his by all that much maybe 15%. On the other hand I also have a 11700/3080 and the 12700 beats it by around 20-25%.

You realise that you're not only getting a far inferior processor but a dead platform as well.

Suryasis, I understand when you say an inferior processor because the 12th gen is that much better. Can you expand on what you mean by dead platform? Does this mean the motherboard, case, brand? Sorry it was over my head.

I got a prebuilt with a 3070 to tide me over but am either going to build my own or upgrade to a prebuilt with a 4080 once they become available, and I am trying to learn as much as possible between now and then.

Thanks in advance!

I am assuming he means the 11th gen is the end of Intel's 14nm architecture. There is no upgrade path without doing a whole new build. The i9-11900k is basically just an overclocked 11700k and became memeworthy for it's heat output.

If you get a 12th gen platform you could upgrade to a 13th gen in the future and get more life out of the build. I plan to enjoy the PC for a few years and then upgrade to a hypothetical i9-13900k once they become cheap in ~4 years.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Thanks for explaining.
