I put the closest approximation (spec-for-spec the same or better) together on PCPartPicker and it would run you $1650 https://pcpartpicker.co
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.co
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..

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.

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?

So far it has been great. I did the pcpartpicker build calculations and also came up that I was basically getting my money's worth for the components. Additionally, I had receive borderlands 4 and battlefield 6 as an extra, so it added more value that what I was paying.
If I wanted a pc that is ready to go, I'd buy it again. If you like to build your own pc, you can start with this and upgrade as needs arise.

When I finally got a hold of someone and gave my order number, the initial response of "ohhh" over the phone made it seem like they were aware they sent me a lemon build.
Of course this is just my experience with CyberPower, but I would recommend everyone do your research on Better Business Bureau before placing any orders.
