I missed it by just a few minutes, but how do these deals compare?

For everyone else, by mid-late spring, this not-much-of-a-deal will probably incur a bit of buyer's remorse. The cpu and gpu are great, but last-gen.
Do a search at YouTubers Gamers Nexus & JayzTwoCents for the general things you can expect with Cyberpower prebuilt PCs. Cyberpower are better than the absolute junk companies, and don't typically include proprietary crap like Alienware and Lenovo. All prebuilt pcs imo are either:
a) overpriced, (Falcon Northwest, OriginPC et al), or
b) poorly assembled (this is nearly all companies that aren't premium boutiques like Falcon Northwest), or
c) using cheap components somewhere in the build that you'll regret later on, or
d) forcing bloatware at you
e) Sometimes all/most of the above
For this particular prebuilt, the best thing is that it hits solid specs that are priced close to what you'd pay if buying your own components right now. I don't know about that case/psu/mobo quality, the ram timings etc, but performance would be absolutely beastly with only an rtx 4090 offering much improvement. So no complaints there.
Other than the big negatives I mentioned above, the arguably worst thing about this build are that:
1) Nvidia's rtx 50 series is nearly here and a $999 5080 (or later, a 5070) could make this look like a poor value since you're basically paying full retail for practically everything . I don't actually expect that to happen as rtx 5080 rumors spec only a slight improvement in architecture. Nvidia won't cannibalize their own retail pricing. My guess is Nvidia will ask $1200 (again) for an rtx **80 part and justify that with some new-fangled dlss/frame-gen/software while preaching what a great "value" 5080 is versus a $2000 or $2500 5090. Yeah… we did it to ourselves gamers, we are (greatly) outpacing inflation by rewarding the gpu duopoly.
2) you're paying current full retail for these individual components and not at least getting that new 9800x3d hotness. Back in ~Jun-Aug this system probably would have cost a fair bit less to build as the 7800x3d was selling for $340 (it's $450+ now). AMD has a track record of sales lowering prices 3-6 months after release. By late spring/early summer I'll bet you could build a 9800x3d with rtx 4080 or else 5070/5080 with a few upgrades for this price or less.

*skippable old dude rant*: As usual following this upcoming period of deregulation, a ~decade from now when the next Enron/Lehman Bros/Volkswagen/Pfizer/Bernie Madoff/etc scandal inevitably occurs due to minimal oversight of free market capitalism, the politicians on both the left and right will moan and leech even more money away from predominantly middle/lower-class funded Social Security etc. Our Social Security taxes/system make so much money every year, there is zero reason for the USA to be in debt, period. Yet somehow, we are closing in on $40 trillion debt which is farking insane. Keep in mind a lot of that debt is owed to China, and both republican and democrat politicians keep publicly taking tough before screwing over the majority of Americans to pay for their "fixes" to corporate greed and the rich offshoring their money. We don't need socialism in the USA, but big money and SuperPACs are farking our country up big time.
Here's hoping you young'uns born after ~1990 can finally put a stop to fake partisan politics and make large fixes to our money-corrupted political system.
