I think not a great deal because not a great gamer pc. If you can wait, I would wait for a better deal like https://slickdeals.net/f/19966518
If you are not looking for a gamer pc, this would do all the documents and internet you want.
Differences:
$600 PC (i7-9700KF + RX 580) is better if:
• Budget is the priority — it costs ~$200 less.
• You want extras included (keyboard + mouse, extra 1TB HDD).
• You mainly play older games, esports titles, or 1080p at medium settings.
• You want Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth listed and a ready-to-use bundle.
$799 ABS (i5-14400F + Arc B580) is better if:
• You want actual modern gaming performance — the GPU is roughly 2–2.5× faster and the CPU is significantly stronger.
• You play current or upcoming games at 1080p high/ultra or want playable 1440p.
• You care about future-proofing (newer platform, 12GB VRAM, faster NVMe SSD).
• You prefer a more efficient, current-gen system even if it costs more.
Short version: The $600 PC wins on price and included extras. The $799 PC wins on almost everything that matters for gaming performance and longevity.
