Hmm very tempting. I don't like that ssd and that cooler is okay but probably better than stock. But for the price it's hard to beat. You could sell the cooler and ssd and put that towards something nicer

Damn that's a good deal. I ended up getting it with the desk mat last week and got the cooler for $15 but getting it this way would have been way better.

really good deal if you want to upgrade an older computer if you already had ddr4 ram. while you could go am5, you can even find a cpu alone for this price. as for the ssd, its small by todays standards, but perfectly fine if your just putting windows on there, with main storage on something else.

Ddr4 ram almost double in price recently. AM4 build makes less and less sense these day.

pros:
+ very low price
+ windows 11 compatible (if that matters to you)
+ low power consumption for a desktop
+ allows you to choose the chassis and power supply if you want to add more internal devices than a mini PC

cons:
- very slow chip on par with Intel 8500 or AMD 3600
- no PCIe 4.0 support
- would bottleneck games or serious work based on older architecture and low core count
- no AI in chip, which may limit future compatibility
- larger and slower than a mini PC running Ryzen 7 5825U for the same price (after case, ram and power supply)

i want to toss back to you, that it performs just a little worse overall compared to a 5600 (in gaming), it wont bottleneck most pcie 4.0 GPUs, (3.0 is still fine for most and if you have the money for a 5090, why are you buying this combo?). if you want serious work, this isnt the combo for you, this is a budget build that performs very nice for the cost as an upgrade path for older systems. no AI. again, your want to spend much more for a system if thats your goal. while it will lack against such a mini pc with internal GPU as this doesnt have one, for ~$100 more a used dedicated GPU will surpass a budget mini pc IGPU performance if you have an existing GPU you can drop in that is better than 10** series you will probably do better here.

your points are generally valid as a note for people, but i dont think the people who would be looking to buy this are the same customers who are in need of a workstation, or AI system.

You make several valid points. Everybody's use case for a new PC will be different but in my case this just doesn't offer enough power for what I need. I happen to already have a ryzen 5 3600 with an RTX 3070 which is roughly equivalent to this processor and motherboard combination, so for me it wouldn't be an upgrade at all. however, if someone is rocking a 8 to 10-year old computer or just needs a very cheap additional computer, it could be a great deal.
