There's also the peace of mind knowing a builder has done some sort of QA.
And the Costco benefit of 90 day return window is a huge plus.

Love this.. I just ordered parts because the prebuilts I was looking at were a huge premium.. but lots of people would prefer a prebuilt over building because you know you have a ready-to-use PC without worrying about build, getting the OS with drivers installed, and making sure everything is stable.. great deal
Parts availability at MSRP is also rare right now, the 9070xt is getting scalped

Comes out to the same price as if you bought the GPU from scalper.
These new cases are pretty good. Big holes.
As far as prebuilts go, this is honestly a pretty good deal in the current market; I'd only say consider a MicroCenter trip if you live near one first, but otherwise, not bad at all. Would like to know more about the PSU in it for peace of mind though.

No for 1900 u could easily get a 9800x3d/7800x3d + 5070 ti

1760 for 7800x3d + 5070 ti
Edit: this 2tb drive is cheaper and faster but doesn't show up on pcpartpicker https://www.newegg.com/kingspec-2...29&source=

Can save 60 bucks with this combo so 1700 for 5070 ti + 7800x3d

I'm not sure what your reply demonstrates; I didn't say a more performant machine couldn't be made cheaper, I just said the parts cost about as much as you're paying.
Your list is solid, but a person who is in the pre-built market is not going to have the knowledge to choose a cost efficient PSU that is still reliable, the most cost effective air cooler on the market, and a cheap yet thermally effective case. They might know that Zen 4 X3D is better for gaming, sure, but if you know the rest of that already....why are you shopping for a pre-built?

Better gpu(5070 ti) in that build. 5070 ti is like 5 percent better in raster then dlss is also a bit better than fsr4 and more widespread. Also amd doesn't have a ray reconstruction equivalent yet. Whether or not that is worth 80 dollars is up to you.
Edit: just realized the 5070 ti build is cheaper ofc get that
