Open box excellent is $1177
Waiting for this to come available on lenovo and then using 10% CB and AMEX offer, would be a really slick deal

Edit:
Amex Gold card offer I have is "Spend $750+, get $100 back"

I doubt the majority of buyers for these (and other pre-built PCs) will feel comfortable swapping out their PSU. If you can handle that, you basically can handle building your own PC, since they are like building a basic LEGO set these days.

As far as the deal, I can't believe it's 2024 and we are still seeing spinner HDD's in brand new PCs. If you put GTA 6 on that drive, you might as well cook dinner waiting for it to load. laugh out loud

No Lenovo offer on either of my Amex cards.

My blue Amex have the offer
Even worked on the outlet lenovo legion 7i I bought.
Beware that this same configuration isn't being offered direct from Lenovo and there is no guarantee it will be at this sale price. This unavailable configuration [lenovo.com] is close, but not an X version of the 7700, and doesn't include secondary storage if those two things are important to you. I might spring for the 1tb nvme storage option [lenovo.com] for $30 more than that configuration, if it becomes available while those other offers are still in place. There is still 10% CB available, even if you don't have the AMEX offer.

However, be aware that you don't have XMP settings in BIOS unless someone knows how to enhance BIOS.

Also, recommend changing out PSU. Only includes a 500W unit.

Recommend learning arithmetic to determine whether the 500w is inadequate

Awesome value for a turn key gaming or AI machine - nice it's not gimped what 8gb of video RAM - though surprised they're only putting in 16gb of system RAM.

if unit specs are good, why did someone return it?

It was probably a return that paid full price 🤷

Quick PC part picker check with just the (similar) parts in the SD post comes out to $1106. Add in motherboard, case, CPU cooler, etc and you're likely at around $1300. Add in time to build if you're lazy and you're very likely in the good deal realm

Quote from nitemare :
bad specs, air-cooled, over-priced. Glad I build my own

Air cooling is perfectly fine. Liquid coolers are more expensive and have a pump that will fail more often than a fan (fans can be replaced under $20, AIO watercoolers are upwards of $60 (for a small radiator). When not overclocking there is no need for a water cooler. Also air coolers work better at normal loads (by a few degrees).

This is a good deal but I just worked on a legion prebuilt in which the motherboard bricked itself through an update, it is a known issue by lenovo in which they will replace the board (with the same part) under warranty. Which means it will fail again with the update and if you're out of warranty you are S.O.L. These prebuilts use proprietary boards, which have atypical connectors and screw patterns and sizes, so you cant just swap in a normal atx board and reuse your case.

I'm sorry I'm busy and can't find the article right now but do your research before purchase.

There's no restocking fee at best buy, lots of people "borrow" computers this way. There's also a lot of buyers remorse. There's also a lot of people that don't understand computer specs and think theyre going to play AAA games at 4k with max settings and then are dissapointed when the frame rates are terrible. Open box is usually pretty solid, just inspect before you leave the store. 👍🏻

Start with...
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI B650-P Pro WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle is $400 @Microcenter.
You are saving money and have 32gig of RAM, which this prebuilt is silly for not coming with.

4070 maxes at 200w, 7700x peaks at 210w. Do you really want only 90w for the chipsets, ram, nvme, hdd, fans, and power spikes? It's definitely cutting it close. 600-650w would be ideal for this configuration.

Almost tempted to buy this instead of building a new one.

You could build better for less than this, especially if primarily for gaming.

I'm not sure what parts you're looking at, but you can get this performance down to closer to $1000 for complete system with a 7700 and stock cooler.

For just over $1300, you could build one with the 7800x3d and 4070, plus double the ram (plus faster and likely better latency), double the storage, and 350w more on PSU.

This is an OK deal for people with no interest in building, paying around $300 for the convenience, and getting half the memory and storage that anyone would recommend as a min. for building in this budget.

Although, I don't totally disagree on building instead. Unless you can show differently, your numbers are deflated in your favor to even an experienced builder. The 7700X bundle is $400 @ Microcenter which is basically getting the mobo for free, but a proper amount of RAM(32gig). The RTX4070 entry is $540 atm. That's $1000AT (+ $100 for 7800X3D)and there is quite a few things left to buy. Storage, cooler, case, PSU, OS, KB, mouse, etc. And, a build that nice is not going into a lesser case than the prebuilt alternatives.
