It's just an mATX board with an appropriately rated power supply, so the power supply is also mATX.
There's virtually no reason to change either in this particular build, unless you're adamant about running a 4060Ti.
2) If you can afford $500 instead, you will get a lot more longevity out of the RTX 3060 refurb on sale and can try higher resolutions.
3) I've seen gaming laptops of comparable performance around $500.
Do what's suits your needs and budget.

I think I got a better deal lol
The RTX 3050 for gaming is very meh. But on the bright side, if you do ANY kind of video editing, getting into ai tools for video and audio etc I've been very impressed with it for stuff like that. Not stabil diffusion or deep fakes but removing vocals from music, upscaling videos, removing video noise, interpolation, which a lot of that stuff requires CUDA cores and some of the tools I have will only run on RTX 3000 or 4000 series and not AMD Radeon.
So for those reasons, this is a pretty cheap budget mini workstation for stuff like that and will get the job done.
I would recommend 32gb ram, and more storage of course. Probably install msi afterburner and put a custom fan profile on the GPU so it stays cool and doesn't sound too loud. I personally set my EVGA RTX 3050 that the fan won't go above 65% because any higher it doesn't cool any better and it's much noisier

Maybe not this particular deal, but just curious about the concept. Seems less expensive that buying all the components individually.
