If at least 12gb version of 5070 might be worth it

5800x3d is a weird choice it does not really pair well with a 5080. The CPU will be the bottleneck. Decent for a low end system like a 5050 or 5060.
Quote from NamL1890 View quoted comment :
Yeah it's 115w still. If you look at the power scaling charts, a 5080 gives you nearly the same performance as a 5070ti at 115w. You're buying silicon you won't be using since 5080 is capable of 160w and that's when it really outpaces the 5070ti. You do get the extra 4gb of VRAM for the extra $350 compared to 5070ti. If you're willing to do that, the money is probably better spent on getting a 140w version of the 5070ti instead.
Quote from Bozanimal View quoted comment :
The CPU almost doesn't matter, anymore. You know how much faster this CPU is than my i5-6600k from 2015? Only 37%. More important is the ram speed, NVMe SSD, and graphics card, and this has them in spades. So the only real concerns are cooling and power supply. The 240W PSU included here, while insufficient for a desktop equivalent, should be more than enough for the laptop version of the 5070Ti. I can't speak to the cooling, though. If you're doing some heavy lifting with video editing, 3D rendering, or AAA gaming you might invest in a cooling pad. Don't let the CPU dissuade you, though.

My guess is that the screen won't be up to some people's standards, but at the price it looks solid.

Edit I see a couple nerds have replied below me, but I'm sticking with my statement: CPU advancements have stagnated and have little impact on real-world performance. Sure, the CPU matters, but not this CPU for 99% of tasks. There's a reason that architectures like the AMD Ryzen 7000 series continue to anchor current-generation mid-range systems. Also, potential security vulnerabilities on these older CPUs are regularly addressed via ongoing firmware, microcode, and operating system updates. The "risks" of using older, established CPUs are negligible and, in my opinion, they've been more heavily vetted than current gen processors whose risks may yet be unknown.

Also, be sure to note the comment below regarding cooling issues on this laptop. That IS material, as the laptop will throttle performance with higher temperatures. I, for one, think this is a solid deal, especially for something nationally distributed. Usually you only see this kind of deal at a Microcenter.

RULES OF GAMING LAPTOPS
1. Whether you are looking at MSI or Gigabyte you are paying for great parts in a body that sucks and will likely be throttled and need warranty-servicing if at all that can be exercised.

2. Choose Ryzen over Intel. If Intel, it must be "Ultra" or else it will overheat.

3. Lenovo Legion is the best for gaming, the so-called cream of the crop. Lenovo LOC is its second tier affordable laptops.
