My take: Neither one is really a deal at these prices. With the Costco deal being $1000 regular price, this config shouldn't cost a penny over $850 anyway. And even then I'd just wait for the Costco PC to go on sale.

The 4060 alone is about 35% of the budget.
Maybe if you skimped on the case and PSU.

$845-$861 for a much better computer. Not saying building is for everyone, but to kid yourself that you are not paying for the build service is delusional.

DF just put out their optimized video. Basically for most GPU's run settings at medium.

Also, if you aren't including a Windows license or factoring your time in all of this, it's a non-starter. Not even worth discussing.
I'm not averse to pirating/getting around licenses or assembling a system (with better care taken than you'd find in any prebuilt), but these are still concerns and factors everyone should account for when they budget out a system.
Do I want to worry about Microsoft hounding me or restricting me from future updates and features because I cheaped out on a $50 ($20 or less if you shop around) Windows license instead of getting an OEM one for free? And the limited time I get to play games must now be devoted to hunting for parts and assembling a system with no ETA on when it will be complete?
Moreover, the system you parted out is nonsensical with a very limited upgrade path. You did exactly what I said would have to happen and skimped a little on the case and PSU. What I didn't account for was skimping on the NVME.
