By and large, the specs are ok.
GTX10606gb is a fine graphics card.
I might question a I7-7700 for gaming.
Most games can not effectively use more than 2-3 threads so the 8 threads of a I7 may not be useful.
If your games are multiplayer, then many threads is good.
Otherwise, I would go with a 8th gen intel processor like the I5-8400.

I would want to know the make/model of the power supply. OEM builders are not good about including quality units.

I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games.
But, many things default to the "C" drive.
When a SSD nears full, it will lose performance and endurance.
240gb is the...

16GB of RAM is more than enough, unless you have specific software that need more than 16GB. Without going into the specific details of each part, the CPU is ahead of the gfx (good), and if the monitor is 1080p, that's a good gfx card to have for that resolution.

Price-wise, it seems on a par with PC Partpicker, but less hassle than assembling it yourself. I'd want an SSD for boots. I would cut the RAM to 16GB and change to the 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD option.

I would want the specs of the monitor(s) on offer, to assess spec differences.

240gb is the recommended minimum.

If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

You can defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.

That PC you listed is crap both in performance and in price.

This PC listed above is around 75% more powerful in performance and packs in very high quality components.

The CPU i7-8700 is New gen.
GPU GTX1080 is around 60% more powerful in performance than GTX1060.
Included SSD which improves gaming and usage experience.
G-Sync Monitor improves gaming experience.
Corsair TXM is high quality PSU unlike VS crap that company was providing. Having High quality PSU is very important as all other components in the build are connected to PSU and if cheap quality PSU fails there is good possibility of damaging other components connected to it.
If you can spend $50 extra get WD Blue 500GB SSD. If you don't wanna spend extra you can skip on buying Windows10 OS and buy the 500GB SSD instead. Windows10 can run even without activation perfectly fine. You can activate it afterwards.
