I would choose Amazon since it's a well-known national brand with reliable customer service. I have limited knowledge about Newegg.
These are the four top values I found on Newegg (the last one is a site recommendation I could save for later). Which would you like to buy or recommend?

MSI offers superior graphics cards, while iBuyPower has a slightly better processor and cooling system. I’m unsure about MSI’s 32GB RAM claim—L3 says 32 GB but mentions two 8-chip modules. Also, the MSI price is listed as NEWEGG+.
ABS seems to provide the best balance, but can I trust Newegg’s brand? It’s also NEWEGG+.
Thanks for your patience with this confusing situation! 😕
If you firmly refuse to construct your own then avoid it. However, here are some benefits of building your own setup.
You are likely to cut significant expenses. And you will be familiar with the brand and quality of each part in your computer (system builders do not define specific brands or models for video cards, motherboards, RAM, etc.)
Creating a system today is easier than you might think. A simple screwdriver may suffice. This is the ideal platform for building your own system. You can progress as advanced as you wish (adjusting memory timings, managing heat, etc.) or start with basic needs to save money on a well-priced home-built setup. These helpful individuals here will provide guidance.
If the most demanding game is Star Wars Outlaw, a 4070 will outperform it. Regarding Folding@Home—I think it’s a background task similar to the outdated SETI@Home and shouldn’t heavily influence your purchase choice (since it runs in the background and can be temporarily turned off when needed).
I believe a better place to begin would be to share what you are currently using. Don’t worry about sharing detailed specifications like CPU or graphics card. More probably, you’re using a pre-assembled unit. But we need the model number—like “I’m running a Dell OptiPlex 7010 or something, and we’ll check the specs.”
I know I sometimes use Amazon mainly for the simpler returns compared to other stores. MSI has 16GB DRAM, the 32MB L3 cache is typical for AMD CPUs. I’d prefer more, but it’s not a big issue. If you’re open to Newegg’s in-house support, which I remember isn’t very strong for troubleshooting, but offers good return and replacement options, the ABS is the top choice among them.
Many small, independent computer repair places will assemble the device for a modest charge when you provide the parts. This ensures you understand the internal components of your PC case.
