It's on Amazon from a 3rd party, so I couldn't post to SD. But the title is:
ROG Strix GA35 RTX 3080 (~ 4070) Liquid Cooled Gaming PC (Ryzen 7, X570, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, WiFi 6, 750W Gold PSU, Keyboard & Mouse) - Best 2023 Prebuilt Gamer Desktop Computer Made_by_ASUS
Case is much better cooled from what I've researched. 32gb RAM. Plus this model comes with a 3 year warranty. Sold from a Asus partner. Same price $999. Pretty stoked to try it. If it has cooling issues, returns until Jan 31st.
Edit: Oh and I signed up for an Amazon Store Credit card and got an instant $100 off. Nice score

Why not just switch fans for quieter ones or replace side panel and add fans?

Another possibility is placing the computer in another room, with wires coming in through the wall as I already have small holes.
Appreciate the detailed response, repped!

What a hassle. Forget it.

I for one am NOT going to work all day playing pseudo wackamole trying to fix it.
Bad reviews:
Everything was perfect about this ROG Strix Asus, killer deal, I mean, 1300 for an rtx 3080, sounds like a dream, that is until it started showing its true colors. I started experiencing artifacts 2 days into it, not even next level use cases, basic usage for a card of this caliber. A complete disappointment, I wanted to leave a glowing 5✨️ review for this but it's almost impossible, its a birthday present for myself, and now I must return it, I wish that I could just get a replacement instead of either refund through walmart or RMA to manufacturer; Because i really wanted this, but I got the bad hand and must deal with it as a problem and not as a present.... I'm just so frustrated, I worked on this all day everyday for weeks, I worked on this after I got off work, on my birthday, it was like wackamole trying to troubleshoot. I Couldn't even finish the review on the thing itself, i had to use my phone
Great PC.. Bad Components
Unfortunately, this PC has crashed nearly every game I've played. When running correctly, it's FPS quality is amazing. The fans are a bit loud, but keep the machine fairly cool. Not sure if I just got a bad singular part, but nothing has resolved my issues. Returning for a refund and looking elsewhere. Posted a couple pics to show what was happening in Diablo.
prepare to spend money to upgrade the cooling
The problem with all ROG Strix (or all ASUS PC with same case and similar cooling) is the cooling is so bad. Go research yourself on All the websites selling these PCs. Every single one has the problem. Playing CS2 makes the CPU temp to 85 C. The stock CPU and case fan are useless and the case fan is so loud. Only wish I knew before I bought it. I installed the Peerless Assassin CPU cooler and the CPU temp dropped 30 C to 55 C. I am waiting for the new Arctic case fan to arrive. The problem I have now is the CPU cooler is half an inch too high, I can't put the glass panel back on. It is not a problem for me, but may be someone else. I believe they have been using the design for many years. With older less powerful CPUs they can get away with it, but not with newer gen CPUs. With so many complaints online, I can't believe the manufacturer has not updated their design. My recommendation is buy it only when it is on sale, and prepare to spend money to upgrade the cooling right after receiving the PC.

but I hate hassles. I would want it to have good airflow and a good CPU cooling fan, right out of the box.
I guess that's why the price is so low.

i7-12700KF (unlocked variant of this CPU which allows for overclocking)
Upgraded CPU cooler
DDR-5
RTX 4070 which is on par with the 3080 but has DLSS 3.0 + Frame Generation while consuming less wattage
Significantly better case
Or just buy this system + the $55 case and swap over the components for about the same price. Swapping over a motherboard, gpu and power supply is a piece of cake compared to what it was like building PC's 10+ years ago.
