I'm considering buying a gaming PC for $1200. The specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6000MHz, a 1TB Samsung SSD along with a 500GB HDD, a B650 Gaming X AX V2 motherboard, an 850W 80+ Gold power supply, and an NZXT H6 FLOW case. The cooler is basic, but I'm thinking about upgrading it to an AIO in the future. Also, I'm curious if upgrading to a 9800X3D is worth it. I plan on making the purchase tomorrow. What do you all think?

The current cooler should be fine unless you really care about aesthetics. Just keep in mind that AIO coolers require upkeep. Also, you should check what brand the power supply is. A poorly branded PSU can cause issues later on, despite having enough wattage.
Seems like you're mostly getting this at cost. It looks reasonable, but without specific brands and models for all the parts, it's a bit tricky to judge completely. Also, if you plan to get a 9800X3D later, hold off on that upgrade unless you also plan on getting a new GPU soon.
Honestly, if you tried to build this setup from scratch, it would likely cost more. So, I'd say it's a good deal not having to build it yourself.
That sounds like a solid deal to me! I'd say skip the CPU and cooler upgrade for now, though. They should be good enough as is.
It's a decent deal, depending on how you feel about the price of the RX 9070 XT. If you're considering upgrading to a 9800X3D, you might want to just build the PC with new parts instead of buying this one, as it could end up costing you more.
What about taxes? Would this still be a good deal after that? Is the 9800X3D really worth it?
Thanks a ton! I think I’ll go ahead and grab it.
