They appear to be the same machine/same specs... but perhaps just a slightly lesser grade (Very Good / Excellent). $70 cheaper.

This power supply is a 12 Volt Only style model. That style distinction is significant since although OEMs have started implementing their own versions of ATX 12VO for cost-savings as well as to meet certain efficiency requirements, what is being sold in OEM systems isn't really standardized in the retail space. So if the power supply needs replacement (outside of warranty) or upgrading, this challenge alone will create some issues well beyond a simple drive to Micro Center.
On top of that, the motherboard also integrates the front panel connections such as the USB sockets directly onto the motherboard. Though typical for many OEM systems such as those from Dell, this also complicates replacement of the motherboard and/or case.
As such, this recommends at least three possible approaches:
- Operate this system as a sealed box with limited to power-neutral upgrades for its lifetime (so only swapping in CPUs or GPUs which are supported within the existing power budget). This works for a large group of users and represents the target audience of this kind of pre-built.
- Be the kind of DIY-er who cuts into power supply wires, uses custom power supply wire harnesses, or runs dual power supplies in a PC as part of their GPU upgrade (nothing unimaginable, but definitely a niche group).
- Ignore this kind of highly custom OEM system in favor of a PC which utilizes standardized motherboards and power supplies.

You're only speaking theoretically and really don't know.
I have a 3060ti/5600 version of this desktop with the cheap 500w PSU and it draws 270w at peak with a little undervolt on the GPU. So I would say there's some headroom, in my example.
Overall a great system tho, and it plays everything well.
