  • Took it in last Tuesday, early this afternoon they called to let me know it was fixed
  • New processor was bad, did not work with known good machines
  • RAM was apparently loosely seated which was causing the lack of display. They said they were able to get it to POST (and installed the latest BIOS update)
  • I took it home. It does not POST.
  • I am taking the computer back tomorrow morning. If they can't get it working in front of me, I am giving up and buying a prebuilt PC online

Seconding what the other commenter said about GN being a good resource for prebuilts, TLDR: they are shit. If all you need is a GTX970 and AM4 board you could look at used enterprise systems on ebay or similar sites, you are going to lose the GAMER aesthetic, but you will be able to save a fair amount of money.
