I'm looking at this deal with an i9 9900K and RTX 2070 SUPER on Amazon (amzn.to/30Jx4k8) it looks like a good price to me, but I'm wondering about the reliability and build quality of prebuilts. (Will I need to upgrade some parts, what kind of software tweaking do I need to do, etc.) Thanks for any help.

Stay away from it. Its a badly balanced build to begin with.

 

AiO model is not specified.

PSU is not specified.

Cheap and crappy motherboard paired with top tier CPU.

Case doesn't seem to have any airflow.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

The pc in the link is $1499 so you are well over that even without the monitor. You also specced a weaker cpu in the 3600X.
