$600 off, was $1599.99
AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800 (8-Core, 36MB Total Cache, Max Boost Clock of 4.6GHz) Processor
AMD® Radeon™ RX 6600 XT 8GB Graphics
1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (Storage)
16GB HyperX™ FURY DDR4 XMP at 3466MHz Memory
Liquid cooled CPU and 550W Power Supply
I'm considering this over the Costco HP Victus deal for $699. This is $300 more, but you get a slightly better processor, twice the HD space, same GPU, slightly larger power supply, liquid cooling, and (subjectively) better looking case. This one has less RAM and only 1 year warranty over Costco's 2 year, but the Costco Visa will still give you 2 additional years for now if you have one.
And I'm also hoping for a better Wow factor on Christmas morning over the boring brown box the HP arrived in. Overall thoughts if the extra $$ is worth it?

Also, keep in mind with these AW systems use a lot of proprietary pieces (like the mb, psu, etc.) so if something goes wrong or you want to upgrade down the road, you might have some issues. Personally, if I were going prebuilt, I'd lean strongly towards standard components than anything specifically engineered for a particular brand.
Just my two unrequested cents.

How would you rate the current deal vs my build if I was trying to get back into gaming?
