Solid deal for an entry-level gaming desktop for those NOT looking to build their own computer and one of the few deals around $1000 with DDR5! 650w PSU. Was a FP Deal at a higher price earlier in the year. i7-12700 processor includes integrated Intel 770 UHD Graphics. The Intel i7-12700f in similar deals does NOT include integrated graphics.

I see you updated the post, yea people were mistaken thinking it was equivalent to ddr4 systems, its got a higher end motherboard with more expansion than the ideacenter.

Have to dig through the service manuals to see what the actual differences are, this is basically a normal pc, the ideacenter and invictus are ssf gimped, 2 ram slots vs 4, the poor storage ssd is easily fixed, the other stuff, not so much. Small case computers are expanded through usb, so need more of that, and perhaps room for an expansion card.

Plus this has a real tower cooler, and yes igp is important as its a free video co processor, intels very good at encode/decode.

The dell has a TI for 150 more, but is proprietary psu, and likely air cooler is the lowest end one, water cooling is "optional". Looks to be a 1 case fan cooker setup.

The legion seems to have standard 24 pin psu header, the dell 10 pin, not upgradable.
