The forum user's claim is technically incorrect, outdated, and misunderstands gaming workloads.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 PowerSpec G757 is a strong prebuilt for high-end gaming, pairing a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 5080, 32GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD at a price that looks better than building or many competing prebuilts. The value stands out even more when compared with similar systems, and the 9800X3D is widely framed as the better gaming chip for this class of GPU. The main concerns are the white case, the Gigabyte 5080's reported thermal gel issue, and questions about the ASRock board, PSU, and RAM timings. It is a compelling package if the parts mix and in-store pickup fit your setup.
The system can deliver quiet operation under full load, which helps during long gaming sessions.
The deal can be practical when Micro Center offers pickup and a 30-day price guarantee for refunds if pricing drops further.
The included configuration can run demanding games with acceptable temperatures during heavy loading.
The purchase can be supported by a manufacturer warranty that starts on the sales date for open-box units.
Platform reliability concerns can arise from ASRock motherboard compatibility and Ryzen 7 9800X3D stability issues.
The higher-priced upgrade path can be less compelling when it adds cost for extra RAM and a motherboard that may carry CPU-related concerns.
Micro Center availability can be impractical when shipping is not offered and the nearest store requires a long round trip.
Noise levels can remain audible at idle even after fan curve adjustments, which may require fan or cooler changes.

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.
