The forum user's claim is technically incorrect, outdated, and misunderstands gaming workloads.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not "too weak" for an RTX 5080.
It will, in fact, outperform the Intel i9-14900KF in most games, especially at high framerates and high-end GPU configurations.
If your main use case is gaming — especially with an RTX 5080 — the 9800X3D is the superior choice.
If you also do heavy workstation loads (Blender, code compiling, video rendering), then:
Intel = stronger multithread
X3D = better gaming
Community Reviews
This is a strong value gaming PC built around the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5080, with several comparisons putting it ahead of similar prebuilt options and even close to the cost of the graphics card alone. The 32GB DDR5 and 2TB SSD make it feel well rounded, and the machine is described as fast, quiet under load, and running flawlessly for gaming and everyday use. The main concerns are Micro Center pickup only, the white case and internal lighting, and questions about the Gigabyte card, RAM timings, PSU, and ASRock motherboard reliability. A solid high end package if the parts and store pickup fit your setup.
Common Questions (5)
Reported temps are generally under 90°C even under heavy gaming or benchmark load, and the system is often described as very quiet or mostly quiet. Idle noise can still be audible, so some owners expect to tweak fan curves or replace fans/coolers for a quieter setup.
At $1,999.99, it can be cheaper than building a similar-spec system, especially when the RTX 5080 alone is around $1,200. It also compares favorably to other prebuilts in the $2,200-$2,300 range, though some buyers still prefer custom parts or a different case.
The main concern is the ASRock board and related 9800X3D stability reports, plus some buyers also question the RAM speed and PSU headroom. The G757 uses 32GB RAM and a B850 board, while the higher G759 adds 64GB and an X870 board, so the upgrade only makes sense if you specifically need those extras.
It is in-store pickup only, so buyers need a nearby Micro Center and may face a long drive if the closest store has stock. That makes the deal impractical for anyone far from a store, even if the price is attractive.
Micro Center's 30-day price guarantee can refund the difference if the price falls after pickup. One buyer also reported getting a $200 refund by walking into the store after the price changed.

Checks all the boxes except not having 64GB RAM, and this being limited for upgrading due to barely adequate PS, then, as the G759 uses an X870 board vs B850 in the G757, so you might check if the B850 board is a slight downgrade vs top-tier boards (for future upgrades, features, etc).
Otherwise, enjoy it if you actually got one.

If it does end up becoming a problem with the one I bought, hopefully it's within the first year so the warranty covers it (or two years since I used a card with extended warranty).
