I'm also curious about memory upgrades and switching to 32 GB 4800 RAM. Seems like https://slickdeals.net/f/17582934-abs-cyclone-aqua-gaming-pc-i7-13700f-rtx-4070-32gb-ddr5-1tb-gen4-ssd-win-11-home-1249-99-f-s was a better deal as it had 32GB of faster RAM for only $50 more (though appears to be sold out now). Any reason to choose this one over something like that?
The bean counters at work again using a 500W PS, c'mon, at least use 650W, just because a staff engineer says
a 500W will work.

If the mobo allows you to unlock the power draw of the CPU, peak power draw is 230 watts. If not, peak is 65 watts.
So I'm guessing at absolute peak, this system will be drawing ~440 watts?
How often is the computer running at peak? Maybe 1% of the time if you're a gamer?

-An 800w PSU, versus the 500w.
-An extra 16gb, either 4000mhz (As shown on their official product page) or possibly more (this specific deal shows 4400mhz, while the refurb does not.)
-$110 cheaper
-If the LEDs in the photos are anything to go off of, the Orion 5000 might have an additional front mounted fan. Might be wrong on that though
TLDR, the other linked refurbished deal is strictly better and cheaper, if you don't care about getting it new or refurb.

I had actually just bought the parts for an i7-14700K with 96GB for a PC build (no GPU); but I think the i7-13700F with 96GB plus the rtx 4070 12GB is better for my use case.
(I'm developing and running local RAG + LLM apps. Rag vectorization and semantic matching are pretty cpu & ram intensive, but not like full LLM training.)
Interested in other deeplearning/inference SDer takes on my choice; I have about a week to finalize my choice.
TIA.
