This ASUS ROG G700 is a high end 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT prebuilt that stands out for strong gaming performance and unusually good value at $1799.99. The 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, 850W Gold power supply, 240mm liquid cooler, and included keyboard and mouse make it feel well rounded, and the price is repeatedly framed as better than building similar parts yourself. The main caveat is that the open box route carries warranty and repair risk, and the 9070 XT still trails a GeForce 5080 in absolute performance. A solid all in one option if you want top tier parts without piecing it together.
Buyers who want a ready-to-play desktop soon, because the current price is described as a strong buy in today's market.
Gamers wanting a high-end prebuilt for rasterized performance, because the RX 9070 XT can get close to a 5080 while costing far less.
Shoppers comparing total system value, because the parts and warranty would cost far more to assemble separately right now.
Players who want a balanced gaming tower with room to grow, because it includes a 9800X3D, 32GB DDR5, a 2TB SSD, and an 850W Gold PSU.
Buyers expecting trouble-free undervolting, because the 9070 XT can become unstable and may need driver cleanup or PSU troubleshooting.
Shoppers who need GeForce-specific features, because this build is only preferred when a 5080 is not required.
People considering an open-box unit from far away, because any repair can require shipping it to ASUS at their own expense.
Ray-tracing-focused gamers, because the comments only support strong raw performance and leave RT performance uncertain.

Ultimately the 5080 is the stronger card, by every metric. But I got my 9070xt last month for $630, and the cheapest 5080s out there are nearly twice the price. I can't even justify paying >$800 for a 5700ti for my own use case.

And this (or a similar version):

And add an AMD 9070XT graphics card PLUS get Microcenter's 2 year warranty for $199.
No RMA bullshit, you get a much greater bang for your buck on parts, and you can bring the computer in for professional cleaning, etc.
While you consider that route seeking stability, what's your power supply make/model? You can run a 9700XT on a 750W but not all power supplies are created equal so making sure you have a good quality PS that's rock solid stable during the highest power draws is critical. I'd also look at drivers (making sure it was installed only after stripping all drivers and registry entries (DDU is good for this). And I'd look at other software that might interact with the card and/or video drivers. Tools like MSI Afterburner, etc. Strip those away as part of the troubleshooting. It is, of course, entirely possible you have a poorly manufactured card (poor heatsink applications leaving destabilizing temps in their wake - GPU or Memory) or an underlying hardware fault on the board.
It's an excellent deal no doubt, but I'm having issues deciding if paying the extra $280 difference between the two is worth it. The ram is 6000 vs 5400 plus I get extra 32gb of ram, extra 150w of power, an integrated graphics card and better mobo. But in the end, I'm wondering if all these improvements are negligible for gaming or if they are worth the extra $280. I guess if anything I can sell the RAM and get the upgrades for free.

And the best part about reserving it all in store, you can chat with the employees for their recommendations too. I am curious to know which manufacturer of RAM ASUS installed in their pre-built along with who is making the liquid cooler. The Microcenter one is Cooler Master.
That is also awesome on the open box deal! I saw an open box while pulling the examples earlier and that is a great savings. We ourselves buy open box often on many things from Microcenter, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. Such great savings to take advantage of especially these days more than ever.
Good luck with your decision and let me know which you decide! I will help answer any questions you have too if I can. Or find the answer if I cannot.
