The deal seemed interesting and then I realized every aspect of this desktop is gimped: its a 5000 Nvidia but only 8GB of memory, it has 32GB of ram but its older ddr4, the cpu is a couple generations behind. For the price it's probably a good machine but it won't be more powerful than a gaming rig from a few years ago.

The CPU came out last year but otherwise I'm with you. I'm in the process of building a PC at around the same price point if not slightly under, and I've already picked up 32 GB DDR5-6000, 1 TB NVMe WD 770, 9600X, and the Corsair case that was FP a few days ago. I've spent about $360. Will probably grab a 2080 Ti for $200-250 that still beats a 5060 and a B650 mobo for $100-150. Then I'm a PSU and CPU cooler from having a much better PC in every dimension. Normally I would just silently read, pass judgement in my head, and move on, but you were downvoted and you're completely right that this isn't worth buying.
