I would suggest that you build your own, You can buy all of these parts and build it yourself for much cheaper.

 

[Reaper]

Pretty obvious to get the first one. Usually, I recommend people build their own PCs but a 1080 right now could sell for $800+, therefore honestly making prebuilts not a bad deal, especially if you add in the warranty.

I would say the same as IPV6, but honestly since "your too lazy too", def. go for the iBuyPower. Not only is it a Coffee Lake (8000) CPU, but it's an 8700k - tbh you could overclock the shit out of that with the Asetek cooler you got. Sucks that it's not a 1080Ti, but the 8GB VRAM makes up for it.. Def take the free SSD upgrade, 64GB ain't shit. Just my 2 cents.

Where are these discounts?

 

[MyNameIsAres]

As someone just mentioned (and I also find it odd that nobody asked), what do you intend to use the computer for? Because that's some beefy hardware that shouldn't be wasted on LoL, Minecraft, Fortnite, etc.

 

[Extensy]

In my personal opinion go with the first one. You'll want to buy a better SSD though. The choice is quite obvious as MTG said. However, like other people have said, you can easily build something very similar to the iBUYPOWER one with around the same specs for an estimated 1k-1.2k saving you 800-600 dollars. If you want to do this, then building my PC (For the first time with barely any knowledge of how to actually put it together) took about an hour and a half. If you're really that lazy, then just find somewhere cheap. I know of places that do it for around $70-$80 (Local, so can't help you out) but yeah. They're out there. If you absolutely do not want to build your own whatsoever or order the parts and have it built by a professional, then the iBUYPOWER PC should do you well enough with that upgraded SSD.
