My niece bought this at the $1700 price mark a few weeks ago. I was surprised at the build/setup from the box. It was configured to run the RAM at 6000 with EXPO despite saying 5200 on the listing. No bloatware and all I had to do was install the Radeon software/drivers. No issues with the power supply and they have been gaming at 4k without any problems.

You can run those games on a potato and they would run okay. This is the best gaming CPU and AMD's 2nd fastest consumer GPU they've ever released. This prebuilt would run those games flawlessly.

Community Reviews

This iBUYPOWER Slate pairs a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT for strong gaming performance, with several setups running well at 4K and even high frame rates in Apex Legends. The value looks especially good against current parts pricing, and some units arrived with no bloatware, 6000 MT/s RAM, and easy setup. The main concerns are the 750W power supply, the case, and inconsistent component picks such as motherboard and RAM brands. A solid bang for the buck if you are comfortable with some part lottery.

  • Gamers who care more about frame rates than premium motherboard extras, because the included board and 5200 MT/s RAM have not held back day-to-day gaming for some setups.

    PeterockdukePeterockdukeoutlaw107blewkup

  • 4K gamers wanting a top-end CPU and GPU combo, because the system has handled 4K play without problems and the 9800X3D plus 9070 XT is strong for gaming.

    JmenzpuCraig234rjsmith2007

  • Shoppers comparing prebuilt value against parts pricing, because the bundle can undercut buying the components separately by a few hundred dollars.

    SociablePickle793Craig234Gwyn

  • Buyers comfortable with later upgrades, because the PSU can be swapped out afterward if they want a higher-tier unit.

    FancyClover318sixty4bitshortyman24

  • Players who want a ready-to-use gaming tower, because it can arrive with no bloatware and only needs Radeon drivers installed before playing.

    Jmenzpu

  • Builders who want premium internal parts out of the box, because the PSU, motherboard, and SSD have been described as low-tier or off-brand.

    Luigis3rdcousindeee5NeatRose806

  • Buyers who need guaranteed plug-and-play stability on every unit, because some systems have arrived with bad RAM, firmware issues, or a motherboard that needed troubleshooting.

    SleetanSavingsFriendShinpachi

  • Shoppers worried about motherboard compatibility with the 9800X3D, because ASRock boards have been linked to instability and CPU failures.

    Aqquymshk1020sixty4bit

  • People who want a quiet desktop, because the system can run loud and fan tuning only reduced the noise a little.

Well I've decided to go for this one, since I feel like their won't be many more deals on desktops like this soon in the new year. Wish me luck I don't get a dud I'll need to return....lol.

FYI picked mine up today.

The PSU in mine is High Power 750W Super Gold [amazon.com] (GD-F12S) which is a B+ on SPL's tier list.

GPU is XFX Swift white [microcenter.com].

mobo is ASRock B650M-CX Rev. 2 [asrock.com]. I can't find much on these online besides the official ASRock pages, but it has three M.2 slots and lots of USB

So far I'm blown away by the gaming performance! and feel like the parts turned out to be pretty good overall

This is a great deal for the best gaming CPU, a low-end model of a great GPU, and some low-end parts.

If that's ok, and I suspect it should be for many, this might save several hundred dollars at least.

I hate trolls honestly they suck for people like me who don't know that much about PC & monitors I just bought an Asus rog strix dual monitor 4k 144hz and 1080p 320hz was hoping this could handle the 4k gaming

If you got an ASRock motherboard, be careful. They have been reported to cause issues with the 9800x3d, though it's unclear if the new BIOS update fixes things.

Thanks, guess we'll see. There are few mitigating factors in the article that make me less worried. In the linked reddit post I don't see any mention of the ASRock B650M-CX. Also the bios versions mentioned are fairly old now. The most recent mentioned is 3.18 which isn't even on the support page for my board. The oldest is 3.25 from June and the latest is 4.03. In any case, the failures seem to happen within the first few months, so warranty should cover any issues.

I bought it right before Christmas for $1699 from Best Buy. I am absolutely loving it, and just had them price match to this and refund me ~$50 on my purchase last week.

Seems like a good deal. Wish it was a 5070ti instead but at this price it's hard to complain about much.

Would you rather get this iBuyPower desktop or a comparable one from Skytech even though it costs ~$500 more (without discounts)?
Skytech components are a bit shady i've been wainting to buy but build quality in reviews is questionable.

Their financing option through Bread Pay is also highly suspicious. Seeing lots of 1 and 2 star reviews on Bread Pay through Trustpilot.

I was thinking to get this until you confirmed it was an ASRock Mobo. They were frying 9800x3D CPUs over the past year. Someone might be able to give a more technical explanation.
I am not sure what was causing it exactly, but it seems to be a risk. Good news is, if something happens, you might be covered under warranty since its a prebuilt system.
