It's a very solid 1080p gaming machine, which still hits the sweet spot for many people, me included.
Now if you were hoping for a $1066-1440p machine? I'd look elsewhere, maybe the 5070 deal posted today from the same company. Only 'you' know if that's worth the $250 premium for reliable 1440p gaming.
My two cents.

For the price as a PC builder its not bad at all. If I was to build it you would get better Power supply, ram and AIO for about $1250 if that helps...and a better case as prebuilt cases are usually not the greatest. My .02c if you have any questions, please ask

This will do 1440p just fine unless your expecting Ultra settings and 144hz plus. Just built a comparable machine and its fine at 1440p. 16gb VRAM helps out alot with 1440 and 4K...there won't be much bottlenecking except at 1080p with this combo....but a negligible amount.

Super tempted to grab this to replace my i7 Legion with a hiccupping 2070... Problem is, I play games so infrequently these days. Sigh. Maybe if a similar machine goes under $1K out the door for Black Friday.

Comparing 144hz-plus at ultra is hardly contradicting my point of 'reliably' doing 1440p. Can this rig at 1440p reliably handle even 90 frames on ultra of the most demanding, current games? If you do the research, I don't think you'll find that to be the norm. Far from it actually.

You're definitely going to see a huge difference. Whether or not it's worth it isn't up to us to say.
Huge upgrade. You'll be shocked how much of an upgrade. Despite GPU's costing an arm and a leg these days, this particular GPU doesn't, and prices have tanked for everything else. I wouldn't be surprised if you spent $1800 on the rig you own 6 years ago - $1000 today runs circles around that old rig. Especially in gaming
Worth it as an upgrade for me? Not super literate with PC specs. My current specs: Windows 10 Home
AMD Ryzen™ 5 3500 Processor
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Graphics 4 GB
8 GB RAM
512 GB SSD
Realtek Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth® 4.2
