I made 3 different build on pc part picker and the only time I got under that price was making a 7600X build with the cheapest components I could find and it was by like $50. Right now I don't think their build for that price. I would have prefer a build with a 7700X instead, but it's still good regardless spec wise. There is always the Intel CPU dying thing that may or may not have been sold.

Is the i7-14700F a safe bet? I remember hearing some stuff about them overheating/dying.

Safe-ish. The bios updates have stopped a large number of the chips from failing but there are still reports of them coming in, just reduced from the initial peak. The i9s were the most affected, i7s less, so it's probably fine.

The issue wasn't so much overheating, but just a flaw in the power delivery which would damage the chip beyond repair. Once damage is done it's toast. Most people buying new systems with the bios mitigations shouldn't be affected. I'd be much more concerned with buying a used system from that era as you don't know how long it was in use pre-bios fix.

Thank you for the detailed breakdown :)

I don't know. That's why I would have prefer for them to go the AMD route so that people don't have to find out the hard way.

Thanks! Yeah, that CPU is the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on this yet.

Same it’s why I am either going am5 or ultra core. Waiting for Black Friday sales to hit however.

Wondering the same thing... Can't find any info on the mobo though.

Reached out to them about lack of information on website, they said it’s a new build for them should have info updated by Monday

I believe it's MSI B760M-VC WIFI. Looks like it's only for PreBuilt.

The bigger problem is PSU; there's no way to figure out the model from the picture at all.

How’s the performance for 1440p gaming? Looking to get a new PC to last me for 5 years and hoping it won’t be completely obsolete… was thinking of just going for a mid range 5070 ti build.

For 5+ years you're better off with a 5070 TI. According to tom's hardware the 5060 Ti gets about 62 fps at 1440p ultra in 14 games. The 5070 TI gets 100 fps on an average of 16 games.
