Most likely this price is because M2 iMacs are imminent.
Please, if you will, humor us all and put together a package for $1,000 that meets or beats this unit's 8 core CPU / GPU Passmark scores, SSD read/write speeds, 4.5k 100% P3 color space monitor at 218 ppi and 500 nits, WiFi speed of 760 MBit/s, two (2) Thunderbolt 3's at 40Gbps, two (2) USB 3.1 Gen 2's at 10Gbps, a 1080P webcam and microphones of this quality, and a six (6) speaker sound system that is equally as superb.
Also, don't forget the cost of a keyboard with fingerprint login and a mouse capable of multi touch input.
We will all be waiting for the cost of the i7 system or better it will take to beat this iMac at $1,000. You can try, but if you can't put the system together right here right now, well, then you simply live in a world where measurable objective criteria are meaningless.
Waiting endlessly for a link to something even marginally better in all of these metrics at $1,000 or less.
Oh, and don't worry, there will be no requirement that it be less than 10lbs or 1/2 inch thick like the iMac.
Good luck!

...also, these are old Intel units, not Apple's new M1 or M2 chip. Regardless, I'd definitely go for new & legit warranty @ Costco over the "Woot Warranty".
This is by design and not them being cheap but forcing the end user into outlandish upgrade prices.

Add a $300 4K monitor and you're doing alright for that same $1000. Personally, I'd take a Mac any day of the week, but if you're set on Windows, you can indeed get a more capable machine for gaming.
I might try to get BB to price match this Costco deal, as I have some gift cards to use up there.

It's unified memory if you had a clue.
Look at the Passmark CPU and GPU scores. It's a blazing chip and easily matches currently near the top Intel and AMD 16GB systems.
2 years old already and few systems surpass it.
Also, you got a problem with 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C SSD external drive? Be realistic please.
You're the same individual that was opposed to non-removable batteries in cellphones and laptops at one time I suspect.
