That said, given the current GPU craziness this is a reasonable prebuilt. Maybe you can do better, but you could certainly do worse. Add an additional stick of memory for $~30 and it's fairly balanced rig.
For 1080p medium/high gaming and general productivity this appears to be a good deal.
It's an OEM GPU that is likely equivalent to a ~$100 second hand used card. Because there are no viable ~$100 new GPUs available. You'd be in for ~$180 for a new card that is in the same class. Factoring a $180 for the CPU and ~$100 for a decent motherboard that's about $460 worth of parts, leaving $140 for case, PSU, hard drive(s), wifi, and other stuff which is pretty tight for any quality.
More about the GPU - it's a lower clocked 5500XT 4GB with a reduced width memory bus but apparently still GDDR6. Probably ~70-80% of the performance or quite similar to a 1060 3GB card, which you are lucky to get get for $80 to $100 used.
There is a 5300 XT available through some OEMs (hp?) that is a 5500XT core paired with cheaper/slower 4GB of GDDR5.
The fact that it's a proprietary size could theoretically be an actual problem in terms of replacement 10 years from now, but in a budget computer it's hardly worth worrying about.

No way to add memory that I can find. I wanted to do the same.

Or similar from a vendor of your choosing
Or even better - just normal ram for cheaper from Crucial, no stickers and no nonsense ($23 shipped):
