Does anyone have this rig?

I was in Walmart today and happened to see this gaming rig. iBUYPOWER Y40BI7N5701 Gaming PC Desktop - Intel Ultra 7 265F - NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB - 32GB DDR5 Non-RGB RAM - 1TB NVMe SSD . It's listed at $1599.

I am currently running: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER - Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90 GHZ - 16 GB RAM

My system is a little out dated and just meets the requirements to run flight sims. I can play DCS just above minimum settings without too many issues but my FPS aren't the greatest, and would sure love to up the detail and performance of it.

And yes, I know that the new rig will outperform my current rig by a wide margin. BUT

After seeing the rig today I figured that I would probably pick it up because it seems to be much more in line with flight simming. Like many of you I have several sims installed but DCS seems to work my system harder than any other sim that I use. When DCS kicks in I can hear the card start to really whine. Much more than any other sim that I fly so I thought that I would ask here first.

So does anyone here have the rig that I am looking at and if so, is it something that any of you would recommend? Keep in mind that I am by no means an expert on any of the internal workings of computers. I know just enough to understand how to replace or add to memory, install second and 3rd hard drives, replace cooling fans, etc.... But the specs are always fuzzy to me.

Thanks guys!

I don't have your rig, on the specs I would recommend more storage another nvme drive or ssd, for dcs and depending on what you are doing maybe another 32gb of ram. The price for the hardware is a little over the odds, but not stupidly so for a prebuilt...and you could possibly save yourself a couple of hundred bucks by building it from scratch.
