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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

This would be the most affordable high-end gaming pre-built PC I have ever seen after RAM shortage.

don't get fooled by the specs , this machine couldn't run Fortnite or Valorant without FPS drops
I have this machine and get 300FPS at max settings for Apex Legends. You need to disable the LAN network adapter. Its firmware has an issue.

Assuming you use a 9070xt gpu and compare between a 5800x3d and a 9800x3d cpu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmGtTykEvbY

If you have a totally different gpu, then you can look up videos comparing it with the 9070xt. The difference between the 5800x3d and 9800x3d at 4k is minimal since games are limited by the GPU at that resolution for the most part. Below 4k the difference between the 5800x3d/9800x3d is noticeable, assuming you have the same GPU.

I have a 7900XT, and very tight ram (CL14 @ 3333mhz).
But yea, every post I see says it's not worth it. I guess I'll keep the X370 platform for another few years

lmao here's my luck for you

since people here were reporting getting a non-ASRock board and 6000 ram, I decided to go ahead and order another one to compare with what I got and return my first one if I got a new one with better parts.

Of course the 2nd one I got has THE EXACT SAME CONFIGURATION as the first.

Mine shows 5200 unfortunately. You bought in store or delivered?

I have an ASUS B650EM Max Gaming Wifi motherboard:

And some Tforce RAM 5200mt/s (Team Group Inc DDR5 5200 40-40-40-76-1.25v-1.25v):

DDR-5 5200Mhz memory to slow.
B650 mobo bargain bin

Bargain bin system, but if it's all that's available in your area gi for it. Luckily I have 2 Microcenter's fairly close to me and their PowerSpec in house brand is way better.
Link a microcenter pre-build with similar specs and price please? There is nothing in my local microcenter even comparable.

Also, 750w is fine even with higher req cpu.

Msi 650 board and apacer 5200 ddr5. Xfx 9070. Trying to get the fan loudness down...its loud. Fan curve helped a smidge but not much. Maybe it's the 9070, but haven't done anything demanding yet. Anybody else find it loud?

System fans 123 and 4 were just maxed out and not on a curve...got it tuned much better...getting happier now. Wish I'd won the 6000mt lottery but 5200 is good enough. So far so good with stress testing.
