30 day free return if you don't like it. Returns are a hassle, but it's for you to decide if this is the deal you want. This is one of only 2 R7 8700F desktops ever posted on SD for less than $1000. The last was in June for $939 with 16GB RAM and RTX 4060.
Got it—here's an apples-to-apples based on the specs in your screenshot.
Quick spec matchup
iBUYPOWER (eBay, ~$837 open-box) Dell Vostro 3030 (Amazon pic)
CPU Ryzen 7 8700F – 8C/16T (Zen 4) Intel i3-12100 – 4C/8T (12th gen)
GPU Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB (discrete) Intel UHD 730 (integrated)
RAM 32 GB DDR5-5200 32 GB DDR5 (speed not listed)
Storage 1 TB NVMe 1 TB PCIe SSD (likely NVMe)
Board/Platform AM5, B650 Wi-Fi (standard parts, easy upgrades) OEM Dell board (typically limited upgrades)
PSU 600W 80+ Gold (standard ATX) Small OEM PSU (often ~180–300W; proprietary)
OS Win 11 (usually Home) Windows 11 Pro
Condition/Warranty Open-box, 1-yr plan New retail (Amazon/Dell warranty norms)
Performance reality
Gaming & GPU-accelerated work: The iBUYPOWER wins by a landslide. A 7700 XT is orders of magnitude faster than UHD 730 for 3D/games and creator apps that use the GPU (Premiere, DaVinci, Blender, Stable Diffusion, etc.). Expect modern 1080p/1440p gaming on the iBUYPOWER vs. only very light/e-sports titles at low settings on the Dell.
CPU throughput: 8700F's 8C/16T gives roughly ~2× the multithreaded headroom of the 4C/8T i3-12100. That shows up in compiling, video exports, batch photo work, VMs, and heavy multitasking.
Everyday/office use: Both are snappy (fast SSD + 32 GB). The Dell's Windows 11 Pro and lower power draw/noise make it a nice office box.
Upgrade path & build quality
iBUYPOWER: Standard AM5+B650 parts, full-size GPU clearance, and a 600W Gold PSU—future CPU/GPU/RAM upgrades are straightforward.
Dell Vostro: Business OEM chassis/board; PSUs and connectors are often proprietary. You may be limited to low-power GPUs (if any) without swapping case/PSU—sometimes not feasible.
Value & price guidance
If your goal is gaming, streaming, or creator work, the iBUYPOWER at ~$837 is far better value per dollar.
The Dell only makes sense if you want a quiet, low-power office PC with Windows 11 Pro and don't need a real GPU.
Rule of thumb:
If that Dell is <$400–$450, it's a reasonable office buy.
$450–$600 = you're paying for Pro/Wi-Fi/brand but still poor for games.
>$600 = weak value next to the iBUYPOWER unless you strictly need Pro + new OEM warranty and zero gaming.
Bottom line: These are different classes. For any graphics-heavy use now or later, pick the iBUYPOWER. Only pick the Dell if you want a simple, new-business desktop and price is well below the iBUYPOWER.
