No proprietary parts.
I'm sure somebody will break down the parts to see if you could build for less.
Never bought one built by them, only 2 units from ibuypower.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank frontxxrunner
EDIT: The Lenovo also only has a 500w power supply, to this Skytech's 650.
And some personal satisfaction is involved, like the first time I overhauled and rebuilt a 1999 F-150 4.2 V-6 and it ran great.

If your time is limited you just want to turn the unit on and enjoy your PC games.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. Would not need a new PC for the next 20 years.

That would be a 9950x or a 10950x, right?
7700x should be good enough for a few years.

My breakdown below, YMMV depending on the brand - come out to be $1290 pre-tax plus time on the build and research.
i9-12900k cpu, 32gb ram, motherboard bundle $400 - there are microcenter bundle deal, newegg bunlde deal, and also MSI bundle deal (case instead of CPU)
850w gold PSU $77
case $90
AIO 360mm $63 - thermalright brand
2tb nvme ssd gen4 $90
4070 gpu $560
window key - $10
from my experience, these prebuilds emphasize and advertise on the CPU and the GPU.... and cheapen out on everything else.

In this build I think the 650w power supply is on the lower end unfortunately.
In any case, will be much better than an equivalent Lenovo
