It would definitely be a good value. If you got a bundle at microcenter with this processor , a mobo, and memory it would run you $330, the GPU is $260. So for $100 more you get the PSU, case, ssd etc fully assembled. It would definitely cost more to build this yourself.

Something very important to realize about this PowerSpec stuff is that, unlike mainstream brand prebuilts, these are just built with off the shelf components as if you were building them yourself. No weird DTX mobos or converted business cases (I'm looking at you Dell…)

Never purchased anything by the PowerSpec brand and am not even a gamer, but would this be a good value for a desktop that can handle heavy duty multitasking, photo and video editing and could last a while? Processor looks like no slouch and only 2 years old. Is the only drawback that it's a power hog for my needs? Not DDR5? Or still too expensive for what it is?

I'm looking to get my son a gaming PC, and like that this seems to be a good beginner option that allows for upgrades overtime. For a novice, can someone explain what would be the max this can be upgraded? Like, could you swap out to a RTX 4090 card on this in a year, or would that require basically upgrading everything? And like, liquid cooling I see mentioned everywhere, could you upgrade to liquid cooling, or is that a stupid question?

If you think about upgrading to a 4090, then you have to check if the case is big enough for the 4090 to fit in and you might need to upgrade the power supply... And no, this is not a beginner pc, more a mid-range on a beginner pc budget ...

This is a pretty good deal. You're saving $100 or so vs building but obviously, you're going to immediately want to add an nvme drive. You save some money here but unless you need a PC right now, the rx 7600, am4, 16GB ram and a 500GB SSD isn't quite a sweet spot for gaming over say, next 3 years.

New low tier AMD GPUs are incoming, a new gen of am5 as well. If you have something serviceable ATM, I'd wait

This is a thoughtful, helpful opinion. losers can downvote away!
