It is currently $1299 and was $1199 back in September. There are three differences, the CPU is upgraded, two year warranty, and the SSD is 2tb vs 1tb.
It is probably worth $200 more, so you are getting your money's worth. But I don't think the 9800X3D will make much real world gaming difference over the 7800X3D. The 7800X3D is still one of the best gaming CPU's made.
I personally purchased the 7800X3D version as real world the systems will have similar performance for $200 less. But this 9800X3D is certainly not overpriced and is a TON of computer for the money. Very good deal for the money.
This would be considered very good gaming computer. It will run any game they will need for at least 6 years. There are some more and less expensive, but this is a very good mid-level computer if you have $1500 to spend.
Other option from Walmart [walmart.com] would be similar performance for $200 less but you lose some CPU power, 1tb of storage and the second year of warranty. I bought this one and tried it to ensure no issue for Christmas and it's an absolute beast for $1300.
Then I found I out that Dell does custom made components, so I couldn't just drop any vid card upgrade or a new PSU.
Does iBUYPOWER/MSI/Cyberpower do the same thing?
Goal is to get a good deal on an upgrade with a case that I can possibly re-use.
