I just picked mine up today. I can confirm that it is a MSI Ventus 3080, it says it right next to the serial number. While the Venus does not have RGB, the rest of the rig does, including the AIO. There are two NVME M.2 slots, and it is extremely quiet. I'll post my review once I do a few benchmarks to test the performance in both FPS and thermals for a few games, including Cyberpunk 2077.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine came with MSI Ventus OC GPU.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Randomguy seems a bit uneasy that they do not use one of their main street cards... It is a good system, and reviews not just here are above average. Note one thing though.. if you get the cuyberpower with the 10900 cpu, you need to also buy a bigger AIO. The 10900 runs hot, so your adding about another 100 bucks to that build. Personally, I am torn between which one of these dame two I want. One of these days, I will just grab one or the other. The 10900 sounds great, but a MSI full set up would be great too. I love the MSI software for both MB and cards. That said, these are both budget systems that pack a big punch for the dollar spent. So complaining about which of this and that is kinda silly. Just sayin.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most likely Ventus versions are used.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.After speaking with someone at MSI today the 3080 GPU is "specifically manufactured for this pre-built and not one of their retail models." I canceled a cyberpowerpc build the other day after being able to order one of these MSI builds. Since MSI manufactures component parts I thought they would just take their retail component parts like cyperpowerpc/ibuypower/etc do with MSI retail components and build their own pc. I began researching the various MSI cards to try and match the card in the photo advertisement to their retail models since the specifications weren't clear. I later realized the computer in the photos for this model actually has a 2070 model and not even a 3080. They aren't even advertising the correct PC build for this model. This is what led me to call to try and figure out which one of their graphics cards would be included and was told it was none of them and is specifically manufactured for this build. I was given no further detail other than it will not be an overclocked model. Based on the reviews for the cyberpowerpc build you can get an EVGA, MSI gaming X trio, MSI gaming trio, MSI ventus, MSI ventus X, or worst case scenario a PNY. When a company is proud of their product they advertise every marketable detail. In this case, even when speaking to a MSI representative, I can't get any details on the card other than it's a 3080. To make the the advertisement worst, the GPU in the build depicted comes with RGB lighting as a feature. I personally don't care about RGB lighting but the MSI rep told me the included GPU will not have RGB lighting. Some people may consider that a plus when picking out a PC and will be disappointed and confused when they receive their PC and the GPU is not as fancy looking as the GPU advertised. Or they may assume they would be getting the gamer trio or suprim from glancing at the advertisement since they come with RGB lighting. Maybe this advertising trick was done by MSI on purpose, maybe it wasn't. At least with cybperpowerpc they are upfront with the fact you don't know which brands you are going to get. When I call MSI to ask them details about a 1900 dollar purchase I expect to be given specifications about the GPU i'm buying that I can find on literally any other retail GPU I would consider purchasing. Including their other 6 variations of the 3080 gpu. If a person receives a cyberpowerpc build and isn't happy with the components they can return it and try again to see what they get because they at least can look up the specs and make a decision. This build is the same price as a cyberpowerpc 3080 build that comes with an i9 instead of an i7. Since the CPU is cheaper, and it's the exact same price and made by MSI, one would believe the components would be of better quality and at least mid tier MSI components. WRONG, they are all entry level at best MSI components. The motherboard in the MSI build is the exact same quality or inferior to the Cyberpowerpc builds unless it comes with an ASrock motherboard. For those of you that like to use a home theater system with your pc there is no SPDIF output on this motherboard. This is confirmed by the MSI rep. This means the motherboard is the cheapest of their ELEVEN variations of motherboards. Out of 11 different motherboard models to choose from, they are throwing in the cheapest. The cooling isn't any better than the Cyberpowerpc build either at 120 mm. I will concede the cyperpowerpc will require investment in better cooling due to the beefier CPU but it may be worth it by comparison in the long run. So to summarize, for the exact same price as cyberpowerpc you get an i7 CPU instead of an i9 CPU, a nameless MSI card that is most likely inferior to the retail MSI models when you can get a retail msi card or other name brand from cyberpower, a motherboard that most likely will the same or better from Cyberpower (Asrock is rare in the reviews i've read for CyberpowerPC builds), the same 120 mm cooling, and comparable ram. I'm really disappointed after talking to the MSI rep and will most likely be canceling my order unless I am somehow proven to be disastrously misinformed.
