In the end if you were to build this you'd be looking at almost the exact same price, not including the Windows license and keyboard/mouse.
Seems like a deal in 2022 to me.
Since the January 2021, we've had a semiconductor shortage, a crypto boom, and not the mention this CPU didn't come out until March 2021 but eh....

Also, I find if you wait a while to play a game the system requirements seem to go down / performance goes up (dramatically) as the game and the GPU gets patched several times, improving performance on mid to lower tiered hardware. I could be crazy.

In the games I play, I'm able to run some at 4K with High presets on a 1660Ti, whereas the 1060 could barely do 1080 at Medium.
But also note that a lot of games getting ported and cross releases are starting to show some bottlenecking with a mediocre CPU. Since you can actually get a CPU at a reasonable price these days, I'd focus on that and wait for the GPU market to catch up if you're not ready for an entirely new system.
And to be fair, this isn't that great of a deal, considering I paid $700 for a similar setup with a 1660Ti three years ago.

Going with the HP and just doing a 256 SSD, 16gb ram, the 5300 CPU and the 1660 Super 6GB would get you to $740. I could easily see that being the better option for some people.

Also Specs link posted list
Up to five drives, 2x 3.5" HDD + 2x M.2 SSD + 1x open 2.5 HDD Bay
• 3.5" HDD up to 2TB each
• M.2 SSD up to 1TB each
Watched a youtube video can't see the bays for the 2 3.5 and the extra m.2 slot. Wonder if the M.2 are taken up by OS SSD and Wifi card.
