I dont personally think this is a great price as someone who builds PCs for a living 🤔
Most of my builds don't take much time but that one build will make you question if it's worth it.

Stupid blanket generic comment. Agreed with others, my time is much more valuable than saving a few bucks. Maybe if you're in your 20s and broke ass geek out then yeah, build your own
A custom build with generally good parts/bundles from Microcenter puts this about even with DIY given the wild fluctuation of the 7800X3D bundle. If you got that bundle a few weeks ago when it was ~$480 you could save probably $100 going the DIY route over this price. Right now, and given that it includes a nice (but very unnecessary) AIO, this is a fair price for a great 1080p machine with some solid 1440p performance if you're looking at 60FPS~100FPS gaming. This will not do modern titles at 1440p at 144+FPS with any level of consistency without major sacrifices to graphical fidelity, so if you're a competitive gamer or someone who cares about higher frame rate and graphics, look elsewhere. 4K at 60FPS might be possible on some older titles, but unlikely that you'll be doing any level of 4K gaming with the included GPU without completely reducing graphic settings to their lowest settings.
The problem is, this isn't a very good PC for this price, and thus isn't a great deal in general. When I replace that 9060 XT with a 9070 (non XT) the price only goes up by about $100 when doing a DIY from Microcenter. That PC for $1354.94 completely dominates this machine, I mean twice as good in some metrics especially at 4K.
