Same PC for the same price as last year. Weird times. These prebuilt systems always use low grade components and proprietary motherboards and PSUs, so don't get this with the intention of ever really upgrading it much. Also buying a 5700G CPU with a GPU is stupid, and at this point we're about two months from the end of GPU mining, so paying inflated GPU prices right now is also stupid.
Lenovo Legion prebuilt aren't bad buys If the specs are decent. Mines 14 months old. 650watt gold PSU, MSI 3070, runs silent and quite cool with 10th gen i7. Able to game 120-150fps in Warzone and mined during the rest of the time and it's still as good as new. I could possibly fit a 3080 inside if I wanted to upgrade the PSU. As it stands I'll probably part it out and build my dream system soon.
It's more powerful than the 5600G everyone raves about. But there's people out there who will never buy PC components and assemble it themselves. I have friends who attempted to build a PC with the same finesse they use when they're trying to work on their car, lots of over tightened motherboard stand off threads ruined, motherboards tightened too tight and the PCB breaks, cpu and GPU power plugs getting jammed into the wrong plugs. Forcing memory into their slots backwards 🤦
What is this, 2021? 3060 equipped PCs should not be $1k or more. Go home Lenovo, not a deal.
Right now the cheapest decent 3060 costs over 400$. To build the rest of the system, you will easily spend 700-800$. 5700x 300$, decent B550 motherboard 150, memory 100$, case 80-150$, SSD 80$, and any other accessories like keyboard and mouse and monitor. And don't forget windows license.

All I can say is on paper this already sounds better than even what you get out of a twice as expensive Alienware which comes standard with a 360w power supply, single channel memory.
I like best buy's case with the window more but ops has the 3060 vs the 1660 at best buy.
The linked one isn't even close - Its a 256ssd+1tb, instead of a full 1tb ssd and a 1660 vs a 3060. That's at least a $200 difference in parts. Not even going to mention the 256 ssd main is way too small to be even used.
This ones a far better deal. Most crappier prebuilts have 2, this ones a full 1tb ssd with 3060 with an advertised 650w psu to boot with which the 3060 needs to have a 550w-650w minimum - others have barely 500 or even 450w for 3060s which doesn't make any sense.

How are the thermals? I plan on adding another 16 gb ram and want it to run cool. Are these pretty cool or are there adjustments to be made?
Adding more memory won't really affect cooling by much, some prebuilts only have 2 slots so 8gbx8gb configurations, if there aren't 4 slots you'll have to buy 2 16gb cards..
Don't even bother. I've found that people reserved to buying overpriced prebuilts will always have their reasons. Let them think it's a deal and wallow in their ignorance.

This 5700g is limited to pcie 3.0, which limits the storage to 3.0 speeds. 3500mbps.
Doesn't mean much now, but Direct Storage is just getting going, and the PS5 recommends speeds 5000mbps+
Dev's are going to be building games to use this feature and I wouldn't want to buy a pcie 3.0 system in 2022.
Looks like this prebuilt has 4 total memory slots with 2 filled.
