Can some expert please help me if this is a good deal or not. I'm currently using Intel I7 6700 with Nvidia 1080 Ti so this would be a BIG upgrade. I do play game sometime but I do a lot of graphic and video editing. Would this be a good choice for me?

The GPU can be had for under $900 and the CPU for under $400. So that means you're paying $900 for a case, PSU, RAM, SSD, motherboard and a copy of Windows, which you can get for under $600.
Throw in the fact that the next gen AMD CPU's should be out soon (12th Gen Intel's are out already) and will use DDR5 (Intel's 12th Gen does). Next gen GPU's are also just around the corner and mid-tier should match or beat the current gen's top tier. In other words if you don't absolutely need a new PC or find a smoking deal right now I would wait a few more months.

Nvidia is slow walking their new GPUs to clear out the old, so don't expect them on time.

You're input are so right and this is why I wanted to ask some expert opinion about this deal. I tried pcpartpickers.com and the value come out to be about the same or may be 200 less which is why I consider this. As for new hardware come out, there will be alway something around the corner that is better than what you have with technology.
As for next gen cpu with DDR5, I would assume it would cost a lot more than DDR4 and how much performance again over DDR4 for graphic & video editing. I'm sorry, I'm just not sure what to do: buy or wait

i just ordered one. for anyone want to order use this 2 codes:
LAPTOPMAG5
100OFF1499
it will bring it down to $1994 which match previous deal from Microcenter.
Also if you buy mice & keyboard alienware, buy them seperate, it cost only $160 instead of $209.
Thanks OP
