Locked CPU on unlocked and pricy motherboard is a terrible choice and a waste of money.

 

i5 9400 is likely to bottleneck 2070. How heavily depends on a game.

 

Case doesn't look good with no airflow.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

There are 2 things that worry me.

1) The CPU, no HT, 4.1Ghz max boost and no possibility to OC which makes the Z390 mobo also a bit overkill.

2) The case, it looks really restrictive at the front and my guess is that it will be very loud and very hot because there is no way to get fresh air in.

 

That said, everything in aussieland is very expensive so price wise, might be a good deal? I have no clue tbh.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

you can get better for less if you build yourself. there is offcourse allways a premium for assembly. probably around 200-400 aussies.

no plz

based on the way it states the specs

-512GB PCIe SSD (Solid State Drive) = sata m.2 & not nvme

-MSI® NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2070 AERO 8G = blower style & 2070 is discontinued

-16GB DDR4 RAM = slow speed "value" ram

 

also to expect oem cooler ...
