Packed well in foam. Seems to be good quality case and hardware, wiring is tidy.
Only problem I had was I got into a windows boot/repair loop. I reinstalled windows via a usb drive, all good now.

The best deal I've seen on a 9800x3d/5070ti is $1799 atm.
Walmart was having their common issue not letting me pay or add a new credit card, so I used Paypal for now with a few days delayed shipping. If the deal stays alive I'll try to fix the issue and reorder with credit card for extra warranty protection.

...oh yeah, and you get a keyboard and mouse. I don't care about these things, but they are worth something.
EDIT: The Acer has a better PSU. Sorry about that bad info.

Is it worth the extra $100 over this one?

Better CPU, PSU, and liquid CPU cooler. Only thing worse is the smaller hard drive. I'd say yes, it's worth the extra ~10%.

The Acer one doesn't have return policy, sale is final. For that reason alone, I think ibuypower is better. However I rather put an extra $300 and get the 5070 Ti.
"The return policy for the Acer Nitro 60 Gaming Desktop includes at least 90-days of free returns. For more details, you can find the specific conditions under Walmart's guidelines for marketplace electronics."
Jumped on this to replace my Dell XPS 8940 that was showing its age. Going from a 1660 Super to a RTX 5070 will be quite the leap

My 2014 PC was under $500 with the GTX 1060 being $200 of that. Now I'm looking at $1000-$1200 for anything halfway decent in prebuilt. I haven't investigated if these cheap mobos have extra NVMe or x1 slots for SATA expansions since I like to add my own HDs. By the time I do enough research this will be OOS if it's a good deal.
I've never bought a prebuilt PC, so if a part dies, I assume I'm not allowed to fix it and I have to pay shipping back to somewhere (China?). How does the warranty work? Am I allowed to add memory or hard drives without voiding the warranty?
I'm not in a huge hurry and can wait until Black Friday if prices/systems would be better. I want to stay under $1200. I read some comments about companies trying to get rid of old inventory so they can have "super" graphics cards available for the holidays (I don't know what "super" means in that context). That sounds like prices might go up for BF compared to these prices.
Money is tight for me. I'm stuck with the decision I don't know enough to answer: should I buy 1 of these iBuyPower deals now or wait until Black Friday? And which of the numerous deals is the best bang for the buck because I intend this to be solely a gaming machine and it would be nice if I could run BF6 well on it. My 2014 system can't run BF2042 at the lowest settings and lowest 16x9 resolution in a playable manner.
Any advice if I should wait until BF or buy now and which system to buy? There are at least 3 other recent iBuyPower threads that have gone OOS, and I assume those were all better deals than this one.
