Here are my thoughts:
I put the closest approximation (spec-for-spec the same or better) together on PCPartPicker and it would run you $1650 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YgBgGJ. You're basically getting the PC built with a free KB & mouse for $80 less than DIY. HOWEVER, I don't personally like this build. You have a power-hungry i9 CPU, with a cheap, two m.2 slot motherboard, 1tb nvme storage, and a low-end Apevia 850w PSU that will need to be replaced when you upgrade the GPU to something that actually benefits from that overkill i9, such as a 4090 or 5090.

I put together what I would personally buy in this price range. It's $1450 including a retail copy of windows 11 (so subtract up to $130 off that if you're going to get it by other means) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9Cznxg. My build, however, includes a top-quality 1000w beQuiet! power supply, a significantly better quality motherboard that has three m.2 slots, double the storage on a faster, quality nvme drive, and a more-appropriate 14600k that can be unlocked and has plenty of power for basically anything under a 5090 to not be CPU-bottlenecked at lower-than-4k resolutions. (Also note that the prices here are not sale prices. The 14600k has been $50 lower, as well as the 5070 included, so you may save up to $100 more if you wait for sales.)

Yes, there's time and all of that to be factored, but I keep my PCs for a long time, so that small amount of time investment to get a better quality build is completely worth it to me.

Edit: had the wrong PCPartPicker link in second paragraph..

In the first pcpartpicker link, any reason you added the significantly more expensive gigabyte motherboard vs $120 asrock version? That would make this prebuilt more expensive (even more so if you don't buy the retail version of Windows)

Because that's the actual motherboard that comes in this prebuilt.

It's the same story with the 14900F. That cpu actually costs $100 More than the KF which makes no sense. I instead picked the KF because in reality you wouldn't buy the non-KF between those two options. But because the motherboard that's actually used in this prebuilt was available at the time and has specific features someone might be looking for (brand name, pci-e expansion slots and quantity of m.2 slots) I picked it. There are other options that make more sense but in reality overall the second built I linked is simply a better investment now and for the future. Gamers simply don't need or benefit from an i9.

Thanks for posting the list! Very helpful!
I am considering a build to 1) do some CAD (Fusion 360) work for 3D printing, 2) light photo editing, and 3) running a few AI models locally. No gaming.
I guess it would be wise for me to replace the i5 you've chosen to be an i7 or even i9. Would you advise differently?
