Something for you to consider, the 13th Gen Raptor Lake is just around the corner. They'll be released on Oct 20 which will likely mean bigger companies (e.g. like Dell/Alienware but don't know about Cyberpower) will have them ready for BF.
There'll always be something better so stick with Cyberpower if you got a great deal. The CPU performance increase won't matter as much as the GPU (and you've got a great one with the 3080ti). Desktop CPUs can pretty much run any regular software & games, its the GPU that's the limiting factor. But if you are having second thoughts, maybe hold out for another 40 days.

Intel's 13th-Gen Raptor Lake processors will bring more cores, more connectivity, a revamped core architecture, support for PCIe 5.0 SSDs, and even an officialy-verified 6.0 GHz peak boost clock to bear. Intel claims that Raptor Lake will have a 15% gain in single-threaded performance and a 41% gain in multi-threaded compared to Alder Lake, and an overall '40% performance scaling.' These chips will arrive on October 20 to square off with AMD's Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 processors, setting the stage for a fierce battle for desktop PC supremacy — particularly for the crown of the best CPU for gaming as the Intel vs AMD rivalry enters a new stage.
