In prior years / CPU generations, we saw i5-based desktops in lower $400 range. But those would typically have less RAM and a smaller SSD. Considering the 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD config here, this may be the best budget and/or productivity oriented configuration in the past 6 months+ (going by memory here).

Plus, I am suspecting that this has only two RAM slots (I couldn't find definitive info). So it's best for those who are happy with the 16GB (which - let's be realistic - is not little). Otherwise you'd be throwing this RAM away (unless you have a use for it elsewhere - in which case you are probably better off with DDR4 anyway).

With this CPU still fetching $250+ new, it looks like a compelling value and not likely one you could build for less money spent.

For occasional gaming, this would probably work out fine. If you want to game regularly, look towards more of a gaming pc.
Good option for someone who is price sensitive. If I were in the market, I'd still get this one for the extra RAM, the bigger SSD and the Costco warranty.

This system provides a reasonable value but the trade-off is the incorporation of relatively custom components in the form of an OEM motherboard and power supply.
This power supply is a 12 Volt Only style model. That style distinction is significant since although OEMs have started implementing their own versions of ATX 12VO for cost-savings as well as to meet certain efficiency requirements, what is being sold in OEM systems isn't really standardized in the retail space. So if the power supply needs replacement (outside of warranty) or upgrading, this challenge alone will create some issues well beyond a simple drive to Micro Center.
On top of that, the motherboard also integrates the front panel connections such as the USB sockets directly onto the motherboard. Though typical for many OEM systems such as those from HP, this also complicates replacement of the motherboard and/or case.
As such, this recommends at least three possible approaches:
- Operate this system as a sealed box with limited to power-neutral upgrades for its lifetime (so only swapping in CPUs or GPUs which are supported within the existing power budget). This works for a large group of users and represents the target audience of this kind of pre-built.
- Be the kind of DIY-er who cuts into power supply wires, uses custom power supply wire harnesses, or runs dual power supplies in a PC as part of their GPU upgrade (nothing unimaginable, but definitely a niche group).
- Ignore this kind of highly custom OEM system in favor of a PC which utilizes standardized motherboards and power supplies.
Good luck!Jon
