I saw an MSI rig with 7700cpu, 4070Sgpu, 16GBram, 1TBsdd for ~$730. Woulda drove 4 hrs roundtrip and paid $850 after gas and tax. Biggest knock was only having 2 rams slots, but you could upgrade the ram and flip the old sticks. Maybe get an AIO cooler and that's a great rig for $1K. Decided to sleep on it, but it was gone the next morning :/
They had similar rigs but not as sweet a deal, so I watched for a few weeks and they'd drop by like $25-50 a week. There were some I wanted to drop $100 more and I'd get one, but one day I checked prices and they had all jumped UP in price $100 or more. And now the prices don't drop nearly as much if at all.
I hope you're right they'll have some slick prices again after x-mas. I just haven't seen any deals match that one I missed. I live 2 hrs from a MicroCenter, but even building my own wouldn't beat that deal especially with RAM prices jumping. Argh, seeing that White Whale really messed up my perspective.
Early Sept this year was the first time I really tried to watch open box prices at Best Buy.

RX 7600 is 2.5 years old at this point, and it was not high end when it was released.
And it's not even new. I'd pass on this for now. Plenty of deals on prebuilts this year.
