You save enough on these prebuilds at a good price that if you need to buy a higher quality replacement power supply in the future if the generic one fails it's not an issue. It's mostly all name brand parts. Mine came with an ASUS mobo, PNY graphics card, Kingston SSD, adata RAM. Ibuypower owns the company that makes the cases. It's got their own branded all-in-one cooler which is on the budget side but it works fine.
after using a Capital One Quicksilver promotion I got $200 off of the PC and it ended up being about $400 cheaper than if I bought the parts and built my own. My first pre-built computer in 34 years
For only $160 more, it beats the current Frontpage Dell XPS 8960 deal in RAM, SSD, PSU and CPU. And you get a non-proprietary, upgradeable chassis.

I want like a sleeper PC
Or, you know, take advantage of the fact that this is a prebuilt and has a warranty? That's one of the reasons people choose a prebuilt.
It could be something very trivial like a bad driver or BIOS configuration.
I would not rely on Reddit as the empirical source of information it once was, especially going by the fact that basic computer knowledge is on a downward trend for these newer generations that were basically born with an iPhone in hand.
Do you have an example of one of the errors?
If you want a system with an i9, it would be better to start out with one, since you'd most likely also have to upgrade the heatsink too.

The 4060ti should never be above $300
The 4060Ti is on average 10% faster than the 3060Ti while using significantly less power.
What you're doing is cherry picking results from very early reviews that used pre-release drivers.
And you know what those reviewers never went back and did? Run the same benchmarks with updated drivers. They got their clickbait and people like you ate it up.
Anyone who knows an ounce about how hardware works knows you should be keeping these drivers as updated as possible, especially because there's often performance improvements that reach backward and affect retired models too. Nvidia doesn't put out new drivers just to keep a dev team employed.
The best course of action is to just update the BIOS, which is something you should be doing already.

The i9 is a great workstation processor and not all tasks are GPU accelerated.
It just makes little sense to buy a prebuilt if your first move is to upgrade such a significant component.
