Its cheaper than you'll find most anywhere else, you can pick it up at bestbuy, and if you want the top of the line 14900k, this may be worth it to you.
You'd pay about the same price building it yourself and paying for windows.
If you apply for their bestbuy credit card in store and use it towards this machine, you'll get 10% back in rewards to spend towards something else you want at the store.
If you do all the above, I'd say its a good deal, otherwise, about the same price to build which is not bad.

Actually, I just built it on pcpartpicker and this is about right, if you get the cheapest everything (except case, that's not a 40 buck case) and include Win11 pro.

I bought a similar system last time it was posted. It seemed to work great, but then I noticed half the fans didn't work. CS told me where to look to find the connector and plug them in but they still just ran 100% all the time. After that I started getting blue screens until it just wouldn't boot anymore. The whole reason I bought it was to not have to deal with this kinda stuff. CS told me to return to store so I did, and they took it back without issue.
Ended up spending way less on new cpu/ram/case/mobo/m.2 to eek more life out of my current gpu/drives/psu. TBH, I was expecting more WOW going from 1070ti to 4070ti.

That CPU seems like a mismatch for that GPU. I suppose this could appeal to someone who's big into MSFS, which is a game that is mostly CPU-bound.
I do agree, seeing a xx70 class GPU in a $2400 gaming PC seems crazy. I would expect an xx80 or a 7900XTX for this price. Especially iBuyPower who is known for being a more lower-end system integrator.
Well you really should post that on here when you find those, considering the fact that a lot of people would jump on that.
It was posted here or benzbargainz by someone else. It was sometime around Aug and Oct 2023. It could have been a 13900K, but it definitely had an RTX4090. I'm kicking myself for not getting it.

GPU $800
$870 for rest of system seems high.
