Great system for gaming but you can build it cheaper.
Let's run the numbers on that, at normal retail prices. A 7900X3D is $600, a 7900XTX about $900, 64 GB of TeamGroup memory about $175, 2TB of SSD around $150, we'll call the 360mm setup another $150, $100 for the power supply. $130 for the O11 Vision case. We're at $2200 and I haven't priced a motherboard yet. I don't recognize the board in the photo but it looks like an MSI of some sort, and probably B650, let's just say $150? I also see five added fans, but I'm sure they're cheap so maybe $50. I've got it all-in at $2400.
An avid slickdealer will be able to take $250 off the CPU and maybe yield some savings elsewhere. $2100? A bit lower? I'll leave it to the audience to decide.

Haha and the 18 hours of work involved building and hoping everything works fine! Yeah I will just buy prebuilt!

18 hours? That's more for custom loops. I spend about that much cutting hardline tubing and measuring. After everything is ready putting everything together takes less than 1 hour. Using an AIO or air cooler and a GPU as should take 30 minutes to build and about another 30 minutes for a Windows install along with drivers. 18 hours is quite the exaggeration. If you were cramming stuff into an SFF case I would understand you need more time but not 17 more hours.

that's if you build computer every single day for a living.
the avg person build maybe 1 computer every 5-8 years. ain't no way an avg person build a computer in less than 1 hour.

I build computers every 5-7 years, and it shouldn't take more than 2 hours at most. That includes taking all the parts from my old PC, installing the new parts in a new PC, and wiring everything. If it takes the average person around 18 hours to assemble a PC, then they shouldn't even bother buying the parts. They have no idea what they're doing in the first place. If you are buying all the parts new then it should take about an hour or so
Its not a bad deal really but things to consider:
7900x3d is not a 7950x3d. It only has only have 6 cores that have vcache so it will perform worse for gaming than the 7800x3d/7950x3d in some games, not a whole lot of games where it would make a difference but something to consider. If you live near a microcenter the 7600x3d would net you very similar performance in most games.
Secondly I would like to know what brand of PSU this is and I personally recommend 1000w for a 7900xtx.
Last of all I would not recommend an AIO when its unnecessary, and with the x3d line it is unnecessary. I have the 7950x3d and it will not break 81c on a $30 air cooler.
You could build this equivalent gaming system with smarter parts for about $300-400 less

This CPU is a bad choice for almost everyone. The 7800x3d/9800x3d is better for all cases gaming. If you need the enhanced productivity you are dealing with reduced clocks.
While the 7900xtx is a FINE gaming focused GPU at the right price that price is about $730.
At this price range you should be looking at 4090 instead of 7900XTX.
Isn't the 4090 around 2k? How are you going to get a sub 2300 system with a 4090? Even the deals last week on the Alienware r16 required stacking discounts and some people didn't even get cashback on their transactions
