Just a random update, that PC just seems to have died and Best Buy was super on letting me “replace” it giving me in store credit for its purchase price which will go towards a new system when the 5000 Nvidias come out.

Side note they had a 9800x3d 4080 super sitting there as an open box buy so brought it home since I have 60 day return window and it’s honestly a great machine playing in ultrawide for the open box price of $2500

New it’s $3000 but don’t know anything about this name brand CLX

Solid customer service from BB.

I dunno people freak out about pre-builds but most of them are just fine and if the machine works and it’s under warranty… I don’t see a problem.

That thing is pretty potent, enjoy

I always get the Best Buy Totaltech so everything is covered for 2 years and they are great about replacing most items with little problems

This was the first prebuilt I had issues with and a decent name brand in Corsair which was a 7900x 4090 and at the time was a $4000 PC and I know stuff comes down but sure not a $1500 difference in these two systems

Thanks again for trying to help out
 
So a little follow up this CLX PC seems to be a decent PC for the money, seems nice and quiet and running games decently

Had the choice between this 9800X3D 4080 Super with 32 Gigs of DDR 5 5600 RAM for $2500 and the exact same case but a 9900x 4080 Super with 64 Gigs of 5600 Ram for $2200 now want to go back and get the cheaper one and run them side by side and see if there is any major difference just because I like testing shit

My guess at ultra wide gaming there won’t be much difference
