Get back to me when your PC understands sarcasm.
"Comes with ASUS proprietary motherboard that does not give great options for upgrading. Stock fan setup is terrible and doesn't adequately cool the GPU and CPU leading to poor parts life and reduced performance. RAM is too slow and bottlenecks the CPU resulting in poor FPS. The power supply is woefully underpowered and will not support any future upgrades. I tried to install additional fans and it killed the PSU. The only good thing is the GPU and CPU. You can build a similar setup for better"

You can essentially turn a PC into a console with Playnite and import your games from across stores. It won't be quite as seamless as a console. But works pretty well.
And then you can still do computer stuff on it if you like.

MSRP on the 3060 ti was $399.99, and the 5800x is around $160-$175 these days. Essentially getting the rest of a computer for $140 is pretty good, as long as you are ok with the case (which seems HUGE), and the lack of upgrading without swapping PSU/Motherboard.
This is still a very capable machine, hence why I say the price is fair, especially if you value not having to build it yourself. Being a 3000 series card, you won't get frame-gen, so for resource intensive single-player games (Cyberpunk, Monster Hunter Wilds), some of the framerates might not be what you want. But for 95% of what's out there, this should crush at 1440p/1080p. Just be mindful of the RAM speed, and if the motherboard even gives you an option in BIOS to change the MHz or not. If you get slow 2666MHz, and the option to change it is locked out on the motherboard, then buying faster RAM won't help since it will still run at 2666MHz, and that would hinder performance a decent amount.
