What is the point of even building PCs from scratch anymore? It's easier and cheaper to just buy it preassembled it seems.
The Best Buy 7800X3D / 4070 super deal ($1430): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cybe...plashNot
The Costo i9-14900F / 4070 super deal ($1300): https://www.costco.com/ibuypower-...91940.html
The intel CPU issues 'appear' (needs long-term testing) to have been addressed with BIOS updates, but it's on a dead socket with no upgradability past this year along with the potential for chip degradation.
The 7800X3D is on a socket that should be there until 2027ish, and it outperforms the i9-14900F if you intend for this rig to be a gaming rig. If you're going for productivity, the i9-14900F is the clear winner, but for most folks the 7800X3D is more than enough. I'd recommend getting an AIO cooler for the Costco deal if you pull that trigger on that, the 14900F should run a tad cooler than the 14900K with lower power draw, but the simple air tower is a bit on the low side for cooling it properly.
Note: The Best Buy deal is out of stock to ship, but if a location has one in stock near you, it's the best Black Friday PC deal I've seen yet by a fair margin. The 7800X3D went up in value, will hold value longer, and outperforms the i9 for gaming at lower temps. Also, the 4070 super is considered by many experts to be the 'sweet spot' for efficient 2K gaming. If you're trying to push VR or 4K, that's a different beast.
If you can pull the trigger quick, I'd save the $600 for future upgrades and snag the proven 7800X3D deal at Best Buy!

But if you never want to upgrade or tweak the system and happy as is - this is a deal to get hands on a 4080 super.

I added a warranty to get it over $2000. Though even without that, you still get $50 off 1000+. But obviously worth adding a bit to get the full $100.
