Don't want to get too deep into a side-conversation about NVIDIA vs AMD, but it is true that NVIDIA as the dominant GPU maker and market leader tends to have more software features and driver updates available initially, and it usually takes a bit more time for AMD and Intel to catch up. That being said, it usually doesn't take too long for the others to catch up with reasonable driver updates and feature releases. If you don't care about being on the absolute cutting edge in terms of software optimization and features, it probably won't be an issue for you.
The only real catch to that particular AMD deal was that a lot of the computers from that deal were using a Western Digital SSD with an old firmware version that had conflicts with newer versions of Windows 11, causing BSOD crashes. Many people in that thread did say that there's a good chance the computer will pop up on sale again but be "open box" because so many people bought it and the less-tech-savvy buyers probably didn't know how to upgrade the SSD firmware, leading to more potential people returning the computer if they run into problems. The solution was super easy to do though, so the tech-savvy buyers got a fantastic deal with no real caveats.
That being said, I'm not encouraging anyone to wait for a new sale on that particular build. This is still a solid deal more in line with people's expectations. The other one was just a once-in-a-blue-moon event (hence why it absolutely blew up here on SlickDeals and sold out within like 2 days).
In terms of CyberpowerPC vs IBUYPOWER, it seems like the general consensus is they operate in a similar tier. I've seen tons of people both complimenting and complaining about their respective build qualities and customer service (and a lot of the "evidence" to back up either side is anecdotal, so it's hard to really tell if one is truly better than the other). I haven't taken a look at their particular warranties, but in terms of just the product you'll get something similar (hello to the incoming "no, actually you're wrong!" crew ready to tell me just how wrong I truly am). Product failure is always a part of the risk of buying any prebuilt, so you'll have to do your best to determine whether or not the value proposition being offered up front is worth the risk, and how good their warranties or return policies are in event that your product does fail.

Is it 1 stick of memory so I can just drop in a second? Or 2 8gb sticks?

However, it should also be noted that there's a chance that starting next year the Trump administration will place tariffs on various imports to the US, resulting in an increase in prices for things like computer parts. So it may be a wiser decision now to make a purchase. But that's all theory at this point. We won't know for sure until it happens.
What's more likely to happen is new GPU's will provide similar or worse value vs what's currently available (at least from Nvidia), meaning you pay 50% more for 50% more performance or 100% more for 100% more performance etc etc AT BEST. Nvidia didn't stop producing all their current gen heavy hitter GPU's because people stopped buying them. Add potential tariffs into the mix and a lot of people may be looking back on this deal as "the good times".
I'm personally holding out hope that AMD will release a GPU with comparable raster performance to a 7900XT/XTX but with substantially better RT performance for a mid-range price, but I'm not desperate for a GPU right now.
