But cant risk it knowing only 15 day return window. Better to wait for ThanksGiving deals with return window until Jan 31st.

This looks like a good value. Doesn't look like any premium at all for having it assembled, I am not sure I could buy the same parts at retail and build myself for less. I don't see any piece of the build that looks crippled, (you will likely want more storage, but just add another SSD or spinner HDD) to hit the price point.
Case looks good airflow wise with a mesh front. It looks like it only has room for 1 fan on the top of the case which is a little odd, but shouldn't cause issues.

1) Cost to build - the MicroCenter buy an 11700k and get a free mobo is the only way to significantly undercut this deal.
2) Igor's lab tested the 11700k plus 6900xt vs several comparable CPUs across a handful of popular games. Very rarely did it pass 500w total draw including the 6900xt. This even ignores Intel's recommended pl1 and pl2 power limits.

11700k in general for gaming is about 10% less performance than 12700k and 7700x at 1440p while using a better card than 3060ti.
Wouldn't this one be worth the extra few hundred instead? What am I missing?

If you were going to go up in price on this build, you'd want to spend it on moving up a tier in video card.

Edit:
Nevrmind, I found it, but the deal seems to be dead, unless I'm missing something:

You guys all really think $1100 for a 3060ti with a soon-to-be 2 generation old cpu is really a slick deal?
You realize it's not 2020 anymore, right?

I'm going to wait a few months… I'd love to see a smoking deal on the 3080.
AVERAGE at best

even the HP omen deals with the 3070 cards for like $1280 on sale every month seems better and you can still upgrade the HP omen PSUs. cooling issue is easily fixable.
that being said, i will be in the minority and be willing to spend more and get the lenovo legion desktop with the 3070 card and ddr5 memory (at lenovo.com or at costco, which hopefully goes on sale by november)

This why Slickdeals is toxic. People make comments with no data to back it up. They spout and don't understand benchmark data. Look at benchmarks including Techpowerup. This is a solid deal and will do most folks well. Thanks to OP for posting.
