Corsair to sell pre-built Vengeance 5180 gaming-PC with RTX 2080 / 8700 for $2400
Last year Corsair had a nice success with the release of the compact one PC. It seems they have a taste for some more as Corsair releases a pre-built Vengeance 5180 gaming-PC that is loaded with an MSI GeForce RTX 2080 and Core i7 8700 processor.
The PC is following a Micro ATX form factor as Corsair makes use of the brilliant Crystal 280X (review). MSI is the partner for the B360 motherboard and GPU, that GPU is no slouch as it is the GeForce RTX 2080 being paired with a Core i7 8700. The board is paired with two slices of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 8GB (16GB) DDR4 2667 MHz. The system has Windows 10 Home 64-bit pre-installed.
Of course the all other components have Corsair written in them including a CX750 power supply, the Force MP300 nvme-SSD 480GB (review) alongside a 2TB HDD. Cooling wise an H100i Pro has been installed, and for a bit of extra bling, you will spot LL120 RGB-fans and twee LL140 RGB-fans. These are configurable with iCUE as they are tied towards a Lightning Node Pro RGB-controller.
It's a pretty strong PC, also you'll receive a keyboard and mouse. This release seems to be USA centric, it is not clear whether this build will reach the EU. In the US it would cost roughly $2400 exclusive of taxes.

Nice setup if you have the money to spare, and don't want to research and aim at pre-built stuff.

It doesn't have even the latest gen CPU. You'd think 2400 dollars would get you at least that.

The CPU is an 8700 NON-K version, so it doesn't need the z chipset 'cause it's not intended for overclock, like the ram and the rest of the system.
It's something like an "OVERCLOCKED GAMING RIG FAC SIMILE", btw it can be a good choose for a lot of people that are not capable o build a rig and doesn't really need or want oc, but just a nice looking fast enough pc.

the crystal 280 case is fantastic (i have one), but as several people have pointed out (due to Intel) there's a late model cpu and a B series board.
if my magic wand worked, i'd plop an I-7 9700, and a gtx 2070 and put the difference in cash to a Z series mobo.
one thing about this case...amazing thermals for a case with glass on three sides. and space (with a single card) for a radiator on the bottom, top, and front. and if you don't care for the rgb you can save the price of the controller by buying this case w/o rgb.

Here a complete breakdown of the items and prices taken from Newegg:
Case: Corsair Crystal Series 280X = $90(70 rebate)
Cpu: Intel Core i7-8700 = $320
Gpu: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 VENTUS 8G OC = $810(790 rebate)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2x8)16GB 2666MHz = $150
Ssd: Corsair Force MP300 480GB NVMe = $90
Hdd: Either probably WD or Seagate or Hitachi 2TB = $50
Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i PRO RGB = $120
Psu: Corsair CX750 750W bronze = $70
Fans: 3x Corsair LL Series LL140 RGB = $102
KB/MS combo: Corsair Gaming K55 RGB with Corsair Harpoon RGB Gaming Mouse = $102
Mousepad: CORSAIR- Anti-Fray Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad - medium = $28
Total: $1932($1892 with rebates)
With optional W10 Home 64bit OEM $99= $2031($1991 with rebates)
And I believe it's safe to assume that Corsair's actual item prices including the MSI items are lower than Newegg's prices.

I'm guessing the rest is made up from the monitor, mouse and keyboard in the picture? Is that included with this system?

^ Mouse and Keyboard are available as a combo which I already included in the previous post.
And afaik the monitor is not included. Was used just for promotion photos.

Well at least this one has the advantage of being very easy to upgrade, the small form factor build they did last year looked rather nasty when it came to upgrade time.

This is a noobs dream. Many are intimidated by system building so Corsair is simply accommodating them.

I remember back in the day, he only thing intimidating was mounting the CPU (those pins!), but really, is it so hard to build a PC rig?
I mean I get it, and it's a valid point @ @Ziggymac / @alanm , I honestly forget most of the time.
But these days there's youtube videos of EVERYTHING you can watch on your smartphone, people you can ask easily via your phone... it's not like it's hard to see what this is about, basically. Do prebuilts really sell that well these days?

Yes true, easy instructions everywhere, but still most wouldnt bother. Fact remains vast majority of PC systems are pre-built. Not talking about high-end gaming systems like Alienware, but the garden variety HP, Dell, etc that make up most pre-builts sold.

I mean, I honestly didn't check prices, but that rig seems a little expensive to me, considering it's got "only" a 2080 (which makes up for a third of the price, admitted), and "only" a B360 mainboard. Might have gotten the wrong impression, but $2400 without taxes is a pretty hefty price tag for a prebuilt system.
At least you can easily use the RGB LED setup since it's all from Corsair
