My brand new Legion was like $4172 and the only thing different I can spot is really the Intel Ultra 9 285K vs this 9950X3D. Is that worth $300 and refurb?

I also picked up the legion deal but would prefer this deal. The 9950x3d is generally a much stronger CPU for gaming and with this one you get standard parts not OEM specific ones. The OEM motherboards have less standard settings to mess with and are generally a little behind with bios updates. That being said I did not get this for gaming and I got work to pay for it so its not worth the hassle for me to redo everything and we have tax exempt status at Lenovo and it would be a pain in the ass to get everything done for this deal.

If you are spending this much money and with these components, I would definitely spend the extra on the X3D CPU if your planning on gaming with this PC.

Better CPU(9950X3D VS 285K), RAM(rgb 6000Mhz vs non-rgb 5400Mhz), PSU(1300w vs 1200w), WIFI(WIFI 7 VS WIFI 6E), more fans(10 fans vs 6 fans) and non-OEM parts for $300 more.
