(The "16GB 2133Mhz - 240GB SSD - 2TB HDD - WIN 10" one)

 

I see the Graphics Card is 11GB and the RAM is 16GB, is this a problem? If so i know how to Pop in the RAM and take it out so If I need to in the future I can upgrade if it's easy to find compatibility.

 

I go Pre-Built on Amazon as It's more peace of mind for myself.

No. the Graphics Card Memory is for the graphics cards. while the RAM is for the system and running general programs.  You are fine. Although everyone here will tell you to build a PC this is a decent deal. Nice find

No, graphics ram and system ram operate separately.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

It is decent and is pretty good compared to a normal one, but not exactly a super great deal considering you can get a r7+2080 build for less

I mean, you always get a Ryzen build for less than an Intel build. The 2700x is still beaten by the 8700k in gaming.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

True, but not by much at all. I'd recommend Ryzen over Intel any day unless your workload needs it, or you don't mind spending the extra money for a i9
