Will work fine for 1440p gaming...honestly I dont have any issues with a 9700x and 7800xt myself as far as iBuyPower PCs go....I am not a fan at all and I build PCs for a living...let's just say 80% of all "gaming PCs" that come in are these and I have seen some ridiculous errors in assembly as well as improper all kinds of stuff. I know it has a warranty and all but trust me you can buy much better for same price if you build, if your not interested then hire a local small PC business to build it you will find their prices shouldn't be much more for alot better hardware!

I build systems too, but I don't think we can match this—and we certainly can't "buy much better" (with all due respect).

The cheapest you're gonna do for just this GPU and CPU together is right at $1100. I don't think you're gonna be able to stay below their price when you add RAM, a Motherboard, a PSU, an SSD and a case...to say nothing of a legit Windows copy.

My guess is to get components as good—or even a little better—you're gonna be around $1600 *unless* you are close to a Microcenter and leverage one of their CPU/MOBO/RAM combos. And that's being generous.

I don't disagree about their build quality; it can vary wildly. But this isn't a price we can beat without getting a really good sale or combo on nearly every component. TBH this might be worth the "risk".

This isn't a deal on old stock. Unless someone is desperate for a pc or has unlimited funds. This is a bad deal. 1k. Great deal yes but not this price. Plus add on tax. Nahh. But this is just my humble opinion

That's interesting because the post before you said these components can't even be bought for this price. Are you mostly saying that it isn't the latest released components and therefore not worth it?

At this price point I think I'd rather have the other rig that was posted with the 7600 and 5070

Even IF someone can get the microcenter deal for the 7800x3d, the cpu+mb+ram+gpu comes out to $1100. ($600 for that GPU, IF you can find one)

$80 2TB ssd
$80 for a decent case
$80 for a PSU
$70 for the AIO
$20 for keyboard and mouse

You're already at $1430

+Maybe
$25 for the misc wires, adapters, hubs, extra fans, thermal paste one inevitably will need for a build.

I'm not even factoring in the legit copy of windows. I'm also not factoring in the advantage of the single vendor warranty with a big company.

This is a solid deal for $1475 for these specs, especially for someone who doesn't know how to build their own.

I happen to build my own (I just recently built a 5700x3d + 4070ti super machine) but that's not the point. At this price, if I were looking for these specs I'd be tempted for the parts cost alone.

After pricing it out I can come pretty close....with a good CPU MOBO RAM HD Combo from NewEgg and my direct stock to OEM GPUs I can match all day with higher quality components but I get better prices than most I have compared to. Not terrible but this is older and I wouldn't pay this much for it but hey to each his own, none the less thanks for the information because I am sure it helped a few folks!

its really not that hard, it just takes a bit of patience and some confidence and with the amount of online media and material available I would say go for it! I tell folks to get a cheap system and take it apart and mess around with it practice slotting ram CPU and GPU and HD's then buy your own and build once you feel comfortable!

Yeah, not really my guy. 10 years ago this was true.
