The PowerSpec G907 desktop computer with Windows 11 Pro is an AMD Advantage enabled leading edge multipurpose system featuring the AMD Ryzen 7950X3D unlocked processor cooled by a LianLi Galahad AIO Liquid Cooler, an ASUS Prime X670E-Pro system board powered by a 850W Gold PSU, 64GB DDR5 5600 RAM, a 2TB Western Digital SN850X SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 video card.
The video card is readily discernible as an ASROCK Taichi White model: https://www.microcenter
The RAM is an undiscernible G.Skill part. So most of this is disclosed and discernible. At this price point, this is a good deal imho, with many (maybe even all?) quality parts and the all white build which includes a $1,000 video card.
EDITED to add: Take this for what it's worth, but this is an in-store only with 1-yr warranty on parts and labor. If someone is thinking "how do I know that RAM is stable.. the power supply won't sag and cause issues?". Microcenter is going to be incented from a logical, self-serving business sense to NOT have you beating a path back to the store to return this or for repeat in-warranty repairs or complaints.
I've always rolled my own, but that's half the fun being able to hand select each component to balance price/performance. It's not for everyone, though, and there's been more than one time I've done the math on some of the higher-quality pre-built's that I can know the parts used and found the savings wasn't nearly as much as I would have otherwise thought. This isn't always the case, of course.
7900xtx slightly beats 4080s in raster, but nVidia has a much better feature set when RT/PT is turned on - it's not even close!
Since almost all newer 2025 games are going to have RT/PT, AMD better step up their game before I switch to nVidia next year.
Because PT (imo better than RT) has gotten so good, I have been holding off investing in my next 7-10 year build. But you really should expand who you listen to regarding how good the 7900xtx really is.
