This was $1300 6 or so months ago with the same code with the exact same specs, now for $1000 after tax and getting cheaper - it'll probably bottom out at maybe mid-$800s to high $700s. Of the prebuilt PCs lenovo legions are mid-range quality, not up to the ABS brand quality, but not as bad as some other ones.
Overall not completely bad deal, the red flag would be the cost at $1000 for a older model 512 gb SSD since 1tb SSD nvme m.2s are currently at ~1tb/$100 rate. 512gb, 100 of which is going to be windows/lenovo bloatware, so you have probably 350-400 gbs or so.

$907.
You would need to add RAM on the HP, but Ti is quite a bit better then the 3060.

ABS is a Newegg brand, so you can browse their site for other configurations. For $300 more, they have this same system with an i7.

As for the i7 upgrade vs the i5 in this model: If its just for gaming, you're probably not going to feel a huge performance difference between the i5-12400f vs. the i7-12700f to justify the $300 price difference. If you're planning on using more cpu intensive programs get it, but know for most of the time you're not going to use all 12 cores since most programs aren't even optimized for that. It's nice to have more cores, but whether or not it'll actually make a feasible difference is debatable.

Regarding the monitor they included (Asus TUF VG24VQ), I really like it, with one exception. It includes built-in speakers, but to say they're underwhelming gives them too much credit. Honestly, you'll get better sound quality out of a paper cup. I wasn't exactly surprised, since my experience has been that most of these setups suck, and I didn't even factor this feature into my buying decision, but I want to caution anyone who sees that it includes speakers and thinks that it'll sound good. Now one nice feature it does include is a headphone jack, so, if you plan to game while wearing headphones, you've at least got a convenient place to plug them in, provided you aren't using a headset that includes a mic. It also includes a DisplayPort cable, which was what I needed, and it also has two HDMI inputs, and I plan to use one of those, along with a USB switcher for my keyboard and mouse, so I can directly control my NAS.
