It would be $650 they already figured it would be $750 without ram pricing issues and normal 32GB ram pack would be about $90ish. So $650 seems about right.

Well, don't forget the SSD as well. $580-600 sounds right without either of those components and adds up pretty well with current SSD and RAM prices to around $1.1k or $1.3k depending on SSD size.

I wouldn't be surprised if Valve started offering this after the hype dies down to a point where they actually can "have stock" instead of "keeping up with pre-order demand". Right now every box they've got is guaranteed to sell, so they may as well stick the expensive components in there and only get blasted by games media for "being expensive" instead of "selling a brick for the price of a Switch 2"
