I have this system and it is great for my needs. Only issue is the RGB lights have stop working as well as the RGB button on top of the tower. Currently troubleshooting but looks like I may have to replace them and fix/adjust the button on the tower if I want lights. The MSI Mystic Light software only worked for a couple of months and now does nothing. Fans are still running smooth but Mystic Light does not detect any of them.
Need a monitor? This deal. Need a gaming mouse + keyboard? Costco deal. Need neither? Depends on whether you want the extra TB of SSD and extra 16gb ram (albeit ddr4) from the Costco machine.
I can't tell on this one, but the reason I already bought the Costco one is that it also has two 3.5" HDD bays, which was a requirement for my needs. I don't have experience with MSI, but I'd also prefer working with Costco on a warranty issue than I would almost anyone else.

Not exactly a "throw it on eBay and knock $100 off" deal, so make sure you want the monitor.

You'll have to be more specific.
This includes a monitor, Costco desktops usually don't.

Costco deal has twice as much RAM and better return policy
My cousin tells me he has bad eyes so he just uses 3 24" 1080p monitors.
Myself I use one 28" 4k w/ the Costco machine mentioned here.
