The forum user's claim is technically incorrect, outdated, and misunderstands gaming workloads.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.

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?
I purchased that deal too. I assumed it would show Out Of Stock, and was surprised when it let me order it (for pick up). After placing the order with Walmart- I researched that build, and read many reviews on concerns regarding the ASRock motherboard, the power supply, and the type of RAM, so I cancelled the order. I'm certain it's a decent deal- but might need parts replaced sooner than later. Cost out the door for this 5070ti CyberPowerPC build was ~$1812. The cost out the door for the 5080 PowerSpec G757 was $1956, so for the $144 difference (make that $160 to include tolls and gas to go to Micro Center to pick it up) I think I made the right choice.

Just an edit/update: While I 100% build build my own PC's, I've been looking for a pre-built for someone else. This someone else doesn't want a custom built from daddy. Anyone with a tween child "might" understand.(Maybe not, but it helps me justifying accepting that, in my mind) and yes, she's spoiled and she's so good that I somehow enjoy to continue to spoil her.
