Depends on your use case of the PC. I wouldn't have built it like that myself but your needs might be different.

What games are you going to play

What monitor do you have

Just checking latest prices for the parts that have specific models listed, and estimating for the ones that aren't specific, you're probably around $1600-1800+ in parts here, overpaying by $100-200 for a prebuilt when you don't wish to build your own isn't a bad deal in my opinion. This seems like a good buy.

If that was the best build you could get for the price and your needs, I'm not sure and don't have time atm to check all of that. But for the price and what's listed, it seems perfectly fine.

oh ibuypower isnt that good.
Price is great tho cant hold that back for a prebuild.
company tho is iffy at least in its past, I bought one long ago and its hardly holding up anymore.

I bought my gf a refurbished pc off newegg thats a great starter PC, 1030 TI, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd, M&K included, under $320 total
^ starter which she only plays Minecraft, warzone2, and it takes two on it so far.

Yeah, depending on specific components, it should be roughly in that $1600-1800 price range. So a 10-20% increase in price for it being pre-built. I personally wouldn't say it's worth it but entirely down to each individual person wether that extra 10-20% is justifiable.

I've definitely seen FAR FAR worse examples of pre-builts, like $1200+ systems with RTX 3050's lmao.
