The forum user's claim is technically incorrect, outdated, and misunderstands gaming workloads.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.
The system can deliver stable performance under heavy gaming loads, with CPU temperatures staying under 90C during play.
Micro Center pickup pricing can be reduced further using a store credit card and a reduced sales tax zone.
The deal can include a 30-day price guarantee that refunds the difference if the price drops within that window.
The PC can run flawlessly after purchase, and it can pair well with external speakers and an OLED ultrawide display.
Micro Center availability can be impractical when the nearest store with stock requires a 6+ hour round trip.
The included ASRock motherboard can raise platform stability concerns for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, including worries about CPU impact.
The higher-priced configuration can cost extra for 64GB RAM and an X870 board, but it may not be worth it unless 64GB is required.
The included cooling solution can be a concern, since CPU temperatures can spike to around 95C during benchmarks on a similar Walmart configuration.

But, I hate Micro Center doesn't ship. My closest store with this in stock would take me 6+ hrs round trip...

I had this G757 in my cart to keep an eye on the price, so when I saw that it dropped from $2199 to $1999- I reserved it for pickup. I opened a Micro Center CC which took another $100 off the price, and the closest Micro Center to me (a little over an hour away) is in a reduced sales tax zone, so the tax was half of what it is where I live. The people who work at the store told me that they had a crush of people reserving them, and do not think stock will remain by the end of the day. They also told me that they do not expect the price to be any lower on BF or CM- but if it is- they will refund the difference since they have a 30 day price guarantee. Thank you, OP. I may have missed out on this deal if you didn't post it.
I am so satisfied with it
But... it is So tempting to buy this with returning my 5070ti.
My concern is the As rock MOBO, which is killing the CPU.
I believe it will not affect to everyone with that MOBO, but still worrying honestly.
Any thoughts?
