I've been watching all of the BF deals and I haven't found a better $799 gaming desktop yet.
I had CyberPC from Costco prior to getting this and I have to say the build quality (even instruction and packaging) on this MSI is much better. I kept this MSI and returned CyberPC.
I believe this model is 8th from the left. Or control+F to find.

The safe bet is to assume there's only two slots, so it would be a 16GB pair.
Also, you never want to run mismatched memory for performance reasons and OEM hardware is very hard to match.
Note: my original Windows install was a little fubared. Ended up doing an in place install of 11. Only took about 15 minutes and seemed to fix the issue where some Microsoft app store programs like Paint failed to install and they would not install manually either. Must have been a fluke.
Some are more demanding than others, especially with all the unoptimized ports that come out.
1080P across the board is probably a more reasonable expectation without knowing what exactly you play.
That's what resolution I run. See above. I think you'll be very pleased and it runs super quiet to boot.

Costco one has 13700f, 2TB ssd, 32gb DDR4 ram but $200 more. Costco motherboard only has AC WiFi vs 6e, so it seems this MSI has a better motherboard and connectivity. Could I upgrade this RAM and SSD for under $200? Is DDR5 likely worth it in the long run?

Unfortunately, I can't find any information on how many RAM slots there are.
Alternatively, you could buy the MSI Codex R 13NUC5-075US for $949 on Newegg. It comes with the all of the same components, but ups the RAM to 32 GB and the SSD to 2 TB. It's currently back ordered, but they are expecting more stock on Tuesday, FWIW.

It's a 3 years old game. I don't get why ppl quote FPS for old games as a benchmark to make a point. Might as well say it run mine craft at a gazillion FPS.
