Doesn't get much better than this if you're going prebuilt. The CPU is a slight compromise but not bad in the least. The MOBO is likely garbage, but that's true of every prebuilt. Only real downside is that the PSU is only 650 so you'll likely have to replace it if you're ever gonna upgrade down the line.
Jump on this, or wait till black friday IMO.
Or better yet, build your own with a 9600+9070 and better everything else for $100 more.

Are the mobos in prebuilt gaming PCs typically "garbage"? That doesn't seem true to me. Maybe they have slightly less expand-ability and can't OC but I bet they're just as or even more reliable than the higher end mobos that people put into their own builds.
This is definitely a good deal for these specs. The downsides are that it most likely has a low end power supply, the cables are ugly, and that it is only a single stick of RAM.
If I were to put together a system with these same specs I would spend a bit more than this but use a reputable power supply with black cables and 2 sticks of RAM for dual channel.
Overall I think this is a good deal if you don't want to build yourself and/or don't value having a customized aesthetic.
