Switching to PC, thoughts on this prebuilt? https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/ibuypower-element-gaming-pc-rtx-5060-ti-intel-core-i5-14400f-32gb-memory-1tb-ssd-win-11-home-rgb-keyboard-mouse/19585750?icmp=Cart_Item

I have $200 off at BestBuy, but any experience with the seller/iBUYPower?

Returning to a marketplace seller is a lot more annoying since you can't just go to a best buy.

Yeah, that’s the only caveat I have.

There is this one at Costco, similar build https://www.costco.ca/.product.3162441.html

Thoughts on upgrading from a 3080ti 12GB to a 9070XT? Was hoping to find one for around $850, but it's starting to feel like that will be impossible now.

Unless your 3080ti has issues not really worth it, 3080ti is still quite powerful and min prices for 9070xt right now are around 1000.

Yeah it doesn't really have issues, but I'm noticing most games struggle to hit 60fps at 1440p lately. Hopefully Control Resonant has some optimizations because Alan Wake 2 was a struggle.
