After 10gamer2022 code, price goes down from $1800 to $1620.
I know a bunch of you guys are going to comment about heating issues, but in case anyone is interested in a prebuilt 3080Ti.
There is also a cashback website that is offering 10% right now too so you are looking at potentially sub $1500.

Is it likely prime day will come with decent gaming desktop deals?
Or is that too hopeful- will I have to wait until Black Friday?
Really wanting to impulse buy a gaming desktop for sub 2k, preferably sub 1.5k, but a bit loose on the budget just want something quality
Been seeing lots of the threads shot down by poor thermals which has turned me away, but also I'm a bit cheap for sites like cyber power, ibp, etc
Thanks!

CPU 300 + ram 100 + WD black 150 + 800w 80 + window 30 = 660 + your price for the 3080 ti. Take that total and subtract it from the HP price. That's how I'd value the deal. We haven't counted a subpar mobo and case, which you'd have to add two fans to help out. The 10% you save can pay for a proper case. I hope this makes sense to you. Good luck.

Might splurge on a quality build that'll last a while, but I'm not too knowledgeable myself to want to build it all myself - I know it's not that hard, but the last thing I need is to put it all together and it doesn't start
Thanks for the insight. I've never really gamed super hard, but I'm wanting to pick it up as a hobby for a way to play and keep in touch with friends as I'll be graduating college after the fall. I don't want to be putting my money into something that'll need a ton of upkeep and all, so a lot of the recent desktop deals appear to be a turnoff. I do have the money to spend, but at the same time don't wanna be pissing it away on something both more than I need, as well as poor quality. Been keeping an eye out, and hoping to scoop something up on prime day. Thanks for the help!

Pre builts in general are price bloated. They have no business being the prices they are. However with this deal we see the "sale" price is actually closer to build price.
You mentioned maintenance - this wont need maintenance per say. Me and other mentioning thermals is long term look out for the CPU health. Should you buy some fans and install them for a total of $50? Yeah probably. Again tho, comes down to your time and value.
You are keeping the majority of this build for 4-5 years, just depends how picky you want to get with the case.
Have a good one
Mods won't let us post exact names of the competitor websites.
looking to replace a Alienware aurora r7 (1070 i7 8700) which is still going strong with no issues.
whats the best prebuilt option with prices coming down?=

I have a 3080TI myself, and that thing gets really hot.
From what I can tell about this case is that it has one intake, and 2 exhaust (assuming the setup for the radiator is exhaust). This produces negative pressure, which is debatably not the most optimal cooling. Also, it's pulling warmer air through the radiator so again, not optimal for cpu cooling.
If the radiator fan is used as an intake, while technically would be better for cpu cooling, the top position for intake isn't optimal either (air rises, so you're also pushing against it).
Doesn't seem like there's any other options to add fans, so really your only cooling upgrades may be to just replace with better fans.
If anyone plans to get this, or has gotten this, I strongly would recommend checking your temps with HWINFO and check everything, not just cpu/motherboard/gpu.
For example, your M.2 SSD could get way more hot in this environment. I see too many people worry about GPU and CPU but neglect their SSDs. I've seen SSDs consistently hit 70C and above in a 3080TI case without enough cooling. This could negatively impact your SSD in the long run.
Adding a heatsink to the SSD may help a little, but if the overall ambient temp in the case is way hot, then your SSD could still suffer in the long run.
In any case, while this deal is not too bad for all the components, I'm just not sure if you're really getting the optimal performance if you don't have enough cooling.
