For the parts you are looking anywhere from $2,000-$2300 depending on which model 9070xt they use. The specs list GDDR7 and the only one I see they carry with that is the Powercolor hellhound which is 1149.99 currently. The rest are GDDR6, so maybe as low as $900 if that is a misprint. You are saving prebuilt over the parts alone. If you are ok with the quality of the parts they add, then it's a good deal (not great)

399.99 7500x3d CPU/Mobo/16GB DDR5
269.99 Extra 16GB DDR5 (same as in combo above)
1149.99 9070 XT - If it is the Powercolor hellhound. Otherwise $899.99+
169.99 1tb NVME (inland cheapest one they have)
41 Case
135 Windows 11 Home OEM
30 CPU Cooler
65 850w power supply (cheapest I see)

EDIT: GDDR7 in Microcenter's specs aren't correct. All 9070 xt have GDDR6

This PowerSpec prebuilt stands out as a near self-build price for a Ryzen 5 7500X3D and RX 9070 XT system, with 32GB DDR5, a 1TB SSD, and standard parts that are easier to upgrade or reuse later. The bundled pricing looks especially strong because the CPU and motherboard combo alone is much cheaper than piecing together the same class of parts, and Micro Center support is local if anything needs fixing. The main knocks are the oversized white case and the noisy cooling setup, since the included fans run at full speed and the front mesh can create turbulence. It is a solid value if the size and acoustics do not matter much.

Common Questions (5)

  • It can do 4K with FSR enabled, but it is not the better choice for demanding 4K gaming without upscaling. The higher-tier G764 with a 9800X3D is the more suitable option for that use case.

    godfather927Gdog2004Gdog2004PurpleGame507

  • The $400 7500X3D bundle is only 16GB, so a true 32GB setup requires extra RAM or a pricier bundle. Matching 16GB more can add roughly $270-$300 at Micro Center, which is why the prebuilt's included 32GB matters.

    godfather927edlovereze1i1hornedjonnybruno

  • Yes, the prebuilt lands close to DIY pricing once you add the CPU/motherboard bundle, RX 9070 XT, 1TB NVMe, PSU, case, Windows, and cooler. The main savings come from avoiding separate part purchases, but the exact value depends on which 9070 XT model and component quality Micro Center used.

    godfather927SSteveTXgodfather927

  • Yes, PowerSpec uses standard parts, which makes upgrades and reuse easier than many Alienware/Dell systems. That matters if you want to swap components later instead of dealing with proprietary motherboards, PSUs, or other locked-down parts.

    moldysnowGToTheEnd

  • The included case fans reportedly run at 100% all the time because they have no PWM control, and the front mesh can create turbulence that hurts acoustics. The system is otherwise fine, but it may be louder than expected out of the box.

Uh yeah, this deal is literally from microcenter. If you are considering driving to microcenter to buy this pre-built, you are also capable of buying their bundles instead. An apples to apples comparison would be using their own component prices, not another stores.
Except the 7500x3d bundle that is $400 only comes with 16gb of ram. Another stick of matching ram is 269.99 at Microcenter.

None apparently. I was going by what Micro center listed on the specs for the pre-built and for the hellhound card. Specs they listed aren't correct

My bad, didn't notice that bundle was only 16gb, in that case you would have to step up to the core ultra 5 bundle for $100 more which does come with 32gb of ddr5. Also, the cheapest 9070 xt looks like it's $900 now, so the price for this pre-built looks even better actually.

The cheapest set of 32GB DDR5 at Microcenter in store is $430. You can get a bundle with the same cpu, a low end mobo and 16GB for $400 on sale, but the extra 16GB is going to cost you a almost another $300 still.

I don't like it when people post gaming pc specs and don't give the ram of the gpu.

Yeah someone said the same, a comparable bundle I mentioned in a follow up post would be $100 more

Is there a reason why I shouldn't get the Alienware ACT1250 at the same price right now?

Fair. But FSR is not going to help you in fast MP shooters.

I am really happy with the powerspec that I got at microcenter.

I dont know what Alienware deal you're looking at but I didn't see anything close in price that was really comparable to this. I only did a quick search though.

I would probably wait until something like the g764 goes back on sale or wait to see what deals they have over the holidays but this would not be a bad buy especially if you live close to a mmicrocenter. They'll fix any problems right away and you don't have to worry about mailing it out to who knows where.

Powerspec is all standard parts. Alienware/Dell is notorious for proprietary parts, i.e. server spec PSU's, motherboards with extensions to the front ports, or back in the day not even recognizing Lite-on optical drives. Without knowing specifics, the RAM is probably not even ddr5-6000 in the Alienware.
I started with an ultra cheap Dell for my kids and after upgrading over the years, the only things I could reuse were the CPU, RAM, and hard drive.
