Ram, MOBO, CPU - $550
500w PSU - $50
Case - $70-$110
1TB M.2 - $65-$80
CPU heatsink - $40-$65
4060 - $280-$320
This build will range from $1055 - $1175
*I know this comes with more ram and more SSD storage while giving up the 1TB HDD with the overall loss of 512Gigs of storage add another 65 if you want a true 1 to 1 storage option, but the 16gigs of ram should even the playing field at the very least IMO.
Doing a custom build from Microcenter will net you:
-16 gigs of extra ram (32gigs total) @ 6000MHZ vs prebuilt @ 5600MHZ
-Overclockable CPU
-Non-proprietary motherboard.
Going with this deal will save you:
- Saves you $145 - $265 going for this vs going for the Microcenter variant
-Support from Lenovo
-Prebuilt, so no headaches if you dislike the process
-+512 gigs of storage (albeit it's HDD so its a bit slower)
Over-all this is a great deal! I would prefer the Microcenter deal for the extra 16gigs of ram since I'm only 40 mins away from one of their locations, but I wouldn't be upset getting this as a deal either! The performance per dollar on this deal to me seems like a very close match to the microcenter build.
Note in the custom build adding just $90 could net you a 4060ti with 16gigs of ram which is a significant bump in performance but then you would at the least be $235 extra in the hole.
Thanks OP!

This so super helpful thank you!
If I wanted to upgrade the gpu later on down the road is that possible?

Here is breakdown of my costs building my own pc
motherboard+32gb ram+Ryzen 7700x: $350
Thermalright CPU coller: $40
WD 2TB NVME $130
GPU RX6650: $220
Fractal Pop Air Case: $65
These parts were all on sale here on slickdeals and they already cost me $800 before taxes.
I have to re-use an old gold rated evga PSU because you can't really get one for $50 these days. I'm still using an unactivated copy of windows. Not to mention the many hours I spent troubleshooting/updating drivers/bios and resetting CMOS battery to get mine to boot up.
The lenovo legion is definitely better.

I would say building your own is nicer if you can reuse some components or know what you are doing. I'm happy with my custom build over buying somthing like this, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others that I know wouldn't want to build their own.

Actual cost aside, there are still some good reasons for enthusiasts to DIY. Although technically the Legion Tower is upgradable, the included PSU is probably not good enough for a mid-range GPU. The 512MB NVMe storage is fine for a boot drive, but if you're gaming you'll need another SSD almost immediately (or at least a SATA HDD for big game downloads).
With your Micro Center DIY build, you already have 2TB of storage, more RAM and also an AM5 upgrade path in the future. For enthusiasts, I like your build more but it's not for everyone.
One of our members provides general advice on these name brand prebuilts: consider it non-upgradable (except for RAM and storage). If you're fine with that, then the deal is legit. But if you're wondering about a better GPU in 3 years, then prebuilt isn't for you. This advice doesn't apply to prebuilts that use standard components, such as CyberPowerPC. (Note it appears this particular system uses standard ATX motherboard and PSU.)
The Corsair RM750e was recently $65. That seemed like a bit of a "price error" but that was a really good deal for a PSU that covers most users.
This so super helpful thank you!
