Even at the sale price it's not that great of a deal, a 13700 is worth about 325, a 4060 ti is about 400, add in the other parts it's okay but I wouldn't call it a slick deal

Get the 999 one with 3060, sell 3060 for $200, buy 4060ti for 400, still cheaper

Newegg has a similar build for $1200, but the Costco version has the 16GB version of the 4060 TI. Is that worth $100?

Big difference between the 4060 and 4060 Ti. Not that comparable.

Something like this is really a choice between this or the Ryzen 7800x3d with the 7800 xt GPU that is currently going for about $1500. The 7800x3d is a better CPU for gaming, but rather inferior for all around tasks. It also is far less power hungry than the I7-13700 consuming upwards of 100 watts less at peak usage. However, both CPUs get constrained by the GPU they're running alongside, so the top end doesn't mean all that much depending on what games you play. The real question is (1) do you need an all around processor (I tend to), and (2) is a 4060 Ti really what you need v. a 4070 or the 7800 xt which are both a decent step up in performance.

By your own definition, it's a slick deal.

$725 for the parts you listed. Not including the SSD, HDD, RAM, case, power supply, motherboard, OS...

Okay, let's assume just $75 for each of the above, and you're at $525 for the extra parts. No extra cooling, no keyboard, no mouse...

That puts you at $1,250 + shipping.

Please, explain how this is not a good deal.

Good gracious i7 13th Gen with a 16gb gpu... and we're still using mechanical and basic sata drives not even nvme? Also just a 650w psu is really pushing it, especially when running full tilt.

16GB NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060Ti Graphics,

For gamers, this may not be a very good price-per-performance deal. But for productivity work such as rendering or AI training This is VERY power efficient for a 16GB Nvidia card

Quickly checked, if I build it myself it will cost at least $100 more

Thanks for the link Murad. There's not much of a difference. I see that this is 16gb vs 8gb. 1 tb ssd vs 2 tb ssd. Any other worthwhile difference? I am lookin to buy something that will future proof for 4 years. I am coming from omen laptop with a 1070 for reference.

If you want future proofing, I'd look at the 13600k I posted. Look in my file. Its got a much better GPU, 200 extra watts for a PSU so in 4-5 years you can get a good gpu that will last another 3-4 years, faster ram as well.
