$1149 vs $1499
3070 vs 3080 GPU
Core i7 1200F vs Core i7 1200KF processor
Same Memory/Ram amount but 3200 vs 3000 for some reason
Same SSD Storage
3070 model is air cooled with a 700 watt PSU and the 3080 model is liquid cooled with a 750 watt PSU
Both are pretty good deals. I think it just depends on your wants/needs - 3070 model will be great for most people and can run most things like butter up at 1440p or less. If you want to be more future proof or are looking at 4k gaming or value liquid cooling, the higher end model might be better for you.
Best Buy assured me there was no restocking fee, and extended returns would be honored.
The packaging was exceptional. I was pleased with the foam they packed inside the case, and the amount of plastic wrap so that when I was ready, I unwrapped a beautiful finger-print free rig.
Other than a link to the IBuy website, there was little to no bloatware. At least not that I've seen.
Startup was a breeze. The only hiccup was having to switch the port I plugged my monitor into on startup to find which one was being used. 5 seconds.
RGB software was installed, but I had to Google for a link to the software and re-install it to get access to all the features.
It was an exciting experience and I am very happy with my purchase. It couldn't have been easier and the old fears I have had since the early 2000's (bloatware, having to register a bunch of things, updating drivers for everything, etc) were unfounded.
Great purchase. You won't regret it, even if this is the fallback you'll get if a better deal doesn't come around by Monday.
I hope this helps someone.
Edit: woooo my first post since 2014. I have officially emerged from the shadows.
