A few items to note: There's only two available DIMMs on this board, so you're stuck buying an entirely new memory kit if 16GB is not enough.
The 1660Ti is a reference board made by MSI and it comes underclocked. You can bring it up to stock speeds, but don't expect to overclock it, especially considering the power supply is only 310w.
The SSD is a Samsung OEM SKU that isn't picked up by Magician, so no firmware updates are likely to come out. Looks to be as fast as their other NVME SSDs though.
Not a lot of bloat from Lenovo installed, but there's some that I'd recommend getting rid of immediately since it eats into your 16GB with lots of services.
This is a really good gaming PC with a high end processor that shouldn't become a bottleneck for gaming for 4-5 years or more. The GPU is also very good and can easily be upgraded in a couple of years if you feel the need for it.
I'm trying to figure out just how good of a deal this is and if I need to jump on it. The last time I followed PC prices was 2 years ago when GPUs and RAM were twice the price they are today due to mining... so I saw all of this for $750 and was like "holy crap, I have to buy this now..... waaaait a minute." I'll just do it here...
i7 9700 - $370 (more than I expected)
GPU - $250
RAM - $50
SSD - $50
So that's $720 already. A cheap motherboard is about $50, PSU $20, case $30 so that's $820 not counting Windows and the cheap mouse/keyboard.
Definitely a "cheaper than building it" price and a solid gaming PC. But it's questionable whether you really need that much CPU. So I'd call this a pretty good deal, but not quite a "you'd be stupid not to buy this" deal.

I believe you need Display Port to support higher refresh rates on monitors and free sync or something along those lines. Description and photo of plate on back just shows a single HDMI, so multi-monitors is kind of limited too. Not sure if GPU has more ports on it.
At this price, decent components, but really locked in. No go for me.
