i7 12700k - not top of the line but just 1 step below it. Such a better value vs i9.
3080 - I always consider XX70 to be the minimum needed to call it an enthusiast level gaming computer. 3080 is a meaningful step up and $/FPS is still very good. 3080 Ti onwards the value proposition falls of a cliff for 'gaming'
16 GB RAM - speaking purely on gaming terms, it's enough. You won't see the quantity of RAM be a bottleneck. Very few games are sensitive enough to high speed RAM to justify higher spending. So long as the RAM is running at 3200 - 3600 you should be fine
1 TB SSD - Enough for windows + apps + 3/4 of your most played games. If space is really a constraint because of a large game library, buy an additional HDD for the not so often played games. Media can obviously stay in HDD.
Thus, in my opinion this computer makes the right compromises and strikes the right balance to call itself an enthusiast level gaming computer
This looks like the deal I've been waiting for. 12th gen intel + 3080. But think I'm going to wait on a few more comments from people smarter than me first before jumping.

Personally, I would've opted for the 1TB WD Black SN770 for $49 more.

Edit: The Costco Legion i7 is also 11th Generation, and is not nearly as good as the 12th gen CPUs.

That's because many developers have just started to build games in Unreal Engine 5, which was released just recently. It'll take a few years for games on UE5 to come out. Most experts' preliminary analysis on UE5 shows that it is extremely CPU resource heavy - a significant step up from UE4. Frame rates are not scaling up linearly with CPU cores, but instead are doing so with frequency, which is not a good sign in terms of CPU requirement. Last few years, CPU hasn't really been the bottleneck for gaming (unless one is gaming competitively at 1080p ultra-high refresh rate). But looks like that's about to change once UE5 games start coming out. The CPU will become a bottleneck once again; and so, one will need to really consider the CPU as well.
Today, a 'high-end' 1440p/4K gaming rig practically means a mid-tier CPU coupled with high-tier GPU. But in a few years, a mid-tier CPU won't suffice - increasing the overall cost.
Of course, UE5 is not the only gaming engine out there, but it's the most prevalent. And other engines will evolve as well to keep up in feature set.
My point is - If you want to 'luxuriate' in having a high-end gaming PC that can play most everything at maxed out settings (at least in 1440p), this is a good time to buy. A $1800 PC like this will be able to achieve that simply because we are at the end of the gaming engine life cycle. In a few years, you might find that the same can only be achieved by maybe $2500 or $3000 PC's. It'll take a few generations of CPU releases before high- end gaming isn't bottlenecked by CPU's once again. And then the cycle will repeat when the next-gen gaming engines roll out
