Not trying to bump my post for attention but I would like an honest opinion about the above topic before I decide to buy it... And please DONT just say building my own is better. If I had the knowledge and means of doing so I would but I'm here instead looking for advice from a reliable source. Any input would be nice and again sorry for the bump...

It's honestly too vague, which is the problem a lot of prebuilt PCs have.

For starers, PSU "500 W." That's all they put in the description of the PSU. They don't put the make or model or even it's rating (bronze, gold, platinum, ect.) For all you know, that PSU is just a time bomb waiting to kill your PC.

RAM, again same problem. Doesn't say the make or model, doesn't specify it's clock speed or even it's timing such as 14-16-16-31 (that information may not matter to most people but still good to have listed.)

HDD, again, vague as hell. They don't list the model or make of the HDD. 1 TB 7200 RPM is little to no information to go off of. I can spend hours going through the pages of the internet looking for those exact words and wouldn't be able to tell you exactly which one you're getting. It could be some shit tier HDD that is loud as hell or it'll be a decent one, no one knows with the information they gave.

Motherboard isn't listed. This almost always happens with prebuilt PC listings. This hampers your ability for any future upgrades as you don't know how many extra fans you can attach, how much RAM you can upgrade on it, how many PCI-e slots are there for GPU/ NVMe SSDs if you want to go that route (until you take the case apart and even then you may have to upgrade motherboard.)

No SSD. $800 and no SSD? C'mon, they're just cheesing it at this point.

GPU, they list as Nvidia which makes me think you're getting a reference cooler GPU. It's not the end of the world, just those coolers are meant more for watercooling and won't provide as much cooling as an open-air cooler; if temps start rising badly though, your GPU will throttle your speeds in order to keep itself from overheating.

With that said, the GPU and CPU are more than enough for 60 FPS at 1080p on high and ultra settings depending on the game you're trying to play. If GPU prices weren't so inflated, I would tell you to honestly build your own PC, because right now 1060s are out of stock or being price gouged for upwards of $430+. Even if you say you don't know how, it's not hard to do, it's literally like adult Legos and you won't break anything if you don't try to break things and you use common sense such as don't rub your socks on carpet then touch the motherboard or work around liquids. However, given the price inflation of GPUs, RAM and even SSDs, I'd say this is fine for now.

CPU and GPU are the main selling points, however everything else is lack luster or vague in information. I can't really figure out a PC build in that budget right now that would be the same performance or better, given the price inflation.

13 did a build for a user a few weeks back that was £659.50 which equals out to about $849, which has better RAM, actually shows what Motherboard you're getting, comes with an SSD and an HDD, 6GB 1060 instead of a 3GB, PSU isn't a time bomb and Ryzen 5. As of posting today, that price has gone to £699.21 however when switching PCPartPicker to America with that build, it now costs $1028.48. Hyper inflated.

If your heart is set on not wanting to build at all or if no one can make you a build within your budget that is of the same performance (FPS wise) or better, then this build is looking like a good price point as of now. Just honestly, with how little information they give on a prebuilt, is a huge turn off as I don't know what to expect from half of those parts.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I do agree that a lot of it is really vague.. Its the HP Omen sold at Best Buy. On the point of building my own, its not that I'm against doing that its just I'm not sure what parts work well together (brands, memory amount, etc..). Id be more than open to my own build if someone wants to try to make one around $800 USD. As far as case color and internals, I was thinking a black, blue, white color theme. Please comment or pm me if you can work up any build for around that price. And again thanks for the reply.
