Good specs for the price but the tradeoff is upgradability since the PC uses a 310W PSU; which is smaller than your standard power supply so upgrading it may pose some difficulties. Also the i5-9400...

Yea if this prebuilt had a Ryzen base it would be a good deal imo. As it stands you can only move up to a 9700 comfortably and maybe a 2060 if you split power but that’s not definite.

I don't think so. 2060s are going for well over 300 on ebay right now. Nvidia would actually have to have stock of 3060s and release them at around 350 to drive the price of 2060s that far. I might...

Ebay, although I dont see any with 16GB for $100... most in the $100 range are 8GB. Of course if you dont need a hard drive or OS, you can drop the price more.

If you have a time machine, a hp with the exact same specs was $570 during Walmart’s BF in 2019. I ended up getting it for $450 a couple weeks after BF. I believe it came with a 300w proprietary psu.
