its worth about $250 - 300, youd have to slap in a 9060 XT at $400 for it to do anything. It wont play battlefield 6 with that CPU, but anything 2024 and older youd get 90 FPS ultra 1440p

It depends on your use case. If it's for a kid or whimsical adult and fits your budget it's a decent system with the fun features like a glass side panel and RGB that you can't get on a pure budget build.
There are also some budget friendly upgrades you can keep an eye out for specifically a GPU, more RAM, more and storage which is not always possible with the bang for your buck used hp and dell desktops, but after those you will hit diminishing returns.
If you want a system that is substantially better including a gpu with a long-term upgrade path and fun aesthetics it will be 2-3 times the price.

Anyone know if this is 2x8gb or 1x16gb ram? Want to have a 2x16gb config
Would the cpu bottleneck a 5070 super 18gb if I buy it in the future?

Crap, I would have jumped on this deal at this price. The CPU is slower than what I would normally want, but still faster than what I have now and could be a potential future upgrade.
Missed it by less than an hour. Head Bang

bottleneck varies by factors like game and resolution but generally speaking, yes, this CPU will bottleneck a 5070s significantly
