If it was me and I had the amex additonal 120 off I would return the legion and get this. If you dont have the offer its kinda a push because you would pay 200 more for a graphics card that is only a 50 dollar difference.
Gpu 15% better
Psu - 450w vs 1000w for future upgrades
Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core)
Core i7 14700F +76%

I know subconsciously most people will be perfectly fine with 16GB, but they shouldn't be on principle.
RAM is cheap and software demands for memory are always going up.
The fact that they don't even offer it as a straight customization doesn't bode well either.

As I said, for what this costs, 32GB should be included.
This is regardless of your nonsense statement about "98% of all people not needing it".
If you're going to make any kind of blanket statement, it's that most people don't know how much RAM they'll use until they're using all of it.
You would also be ignorant to assume that the next generation of consoles will have the same amount of RAM as they do now.
Software doesn't scale that way.

But I priced out upgrading to a Ryzen 7 and RTX 4070 Super and I cannot for the life of me come up with an upgrade of individual components under $1600.
I'm talking GPU, CPU, MoBo, RAM, liquid cooling, and PSU. All that easily runs up over $1600 so I'm tempted just to get this. Plus I have 12 month financing thru Dell.
Tempting...very tempting.

If you live near a microcenter, I built a 7800x3d w/ 4070 super for around $1200 with all the other components (only reused an SSD, few open box deals, transfered windows key from older system).
So yes, you could built for less. However, if we really want to compare costs, you have to consider the opportunity cost of building the damn thing. Some people might consider their weekends more valuable and rather spend the extra hundred or two to go pre built.
The biggest benefit of building your own is that you are in charge of the components and specs. Compared to this, I have 32gb of memory and a 750w power supply.
