First Listings of AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series-equipped Pre-built PCs Spotted; Starting at $1750
iBUYPOWER and AVGPC appear to be preparing PC pre-built systems featuring upcoming AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards; Newegg listings were detected by Everest/Olrak29 during yesterday evening's sleuthing session. System integrators have likely been sitting on distributed RDNA 4 stock for a while, but finalized builds seem to be prepped and ready for launch next month. As reported by VideoCardz, an AVGPC "Whirwlind" system—priced at $1799 (with free shipping)—is based on Team Red hardware; namely a Ryzen 7 9700X CPU and a "Radeon RX 9070 XT 16G" card.
The cheapest "leaked" iBUYPOWER Y40 PRO build contains a Ryzen 7 9700X processor, and a "Radeon 9070 16 GB" graphics card. This system's listed price was $1749.99 (shipping is gratis), prior to Newegg's scrubbing. A $50 upcharge grants access to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D-equipped Y40 PRO model, featuring the same non-XT card. The most expensive iBUYPOWER desktop option—going for $1949.99—houses a Ryzen 9 9900X CPU and a "Radeon 9070 XT 16 GB" discrete graphics solution. Via crafty deduction, VideoCardz reckons that the iBUYPOWER price differences indicate a $130 gulf between non-XT and XT siblings. Naturally, this could be subject to change—we expect to absorb nitty-gritty MSRP details tomorrow, during AMD's special RDNA 4 event. As noted by everyone's favorite source of GPU news; a single (not scalped) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card seemingly costs roughly the same as an entire RDNA 4-based pre-build.

I'll believe it when I see it for real, cause I am fairly certain that all the etailers & pre-built makers are all in on the "MSRP" fallacy, especially da 'Egger
what was it that a guy in a gansta movie said one time....
oh yea, now I remember...."I'm a gonna get ya, Suckas !"
That aside, the system isn't too terribly priced but I think anyone would prefer to know they are getting a quality PSU, for starters. "750W 80+ Gold Certified PSU" doesn't tell anyone much. We are also not seeing the RAM sticks model either. Just a generic "DDR5 6000" description, though at least they bothered to put 32 GB in the machine instead of just 16. Same deal with the NVME drive being some generic "1TB NVMe M. 2 SSD".
And Windows 11 Home? Meh. But then again, I guess that may be just me.
Also, it seems they forgot to edit at least part of the article description, because it still says 7800 XT in it
