Edit:
Amazon has ddr5 ram, costco has ddr4. One review indicates that it's limited by the motherboard and is not upgradeable.
Costco has an extra 2TB HDD
Costco has a Power Supply: 750W, but i can't figure out what amazon is

Can you please explain? still trying to figure out this stuff and was thinking about jumping on this deal.
The deal is not bad at all. But the AIO (the watercooler) is just barely sufficient for the processor. It's a very power hungry CPU that runs very hot. Also I would say the PSU is just barely enough.
It's an ok choice if you don't want to mess with building your own. But I can tell you that if I were building a system, these are the things that would be changed 100%.

Thank you very much for your response, would the fans be too difficult for a novice to replace?

It's not just the fans. You would have to replace the entire AIO. A 240 AIO has 2x120mm fans (hence the 240mm) and a 240mm radiator. A 360 AIO as you could probably guess will have 3x120mm fans and a 360mm radiator.
edit: upon a closer look, it appears it may be a 280 AIO, with 2x140mm fans. Better, but still just barely enough imo. Though if it's the same as the Costco one, it's a 240.

Check out the Alienware deal, you get the 4070ti and ddr5, water-cooled for around the same price. drops to the i7 but not much gain there. only downside is Alienware does not have extra m2 slots I think. better PSU with Alienware. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...tsr16iglnz

Seems odd they would put DDR4 in that Costco build. Wonder if that is a typo.
