SSD, definitely. It will make a monumental difference in the overall snappiness of the system.

it was prebuilt, and wdym "450 w is on a knifes edge"

I would definitely stick in an ssd, they are fairly cheap now compared to past years. Last thing i would look at upgrading the gpu(perhaps wait till new lines from amd/nvidia are released) 1650 is kinda on the lower budget side of gaming. Decent for 1080p but not future proof in terms of longevity really, depending on the card youd upgrade to tho, psu upgrade may be in order.

It's not. The CXM is a decent unit and that system won't pull more than ~200W at full 100% load on both the CPU and GPU.

The CPU is a rip off at that price. You could have gotten a 6-core Ryzen 3600 for $200 less and rolled the savings into a massively better graphics card.

What did you pay for this? You could have built an all new system with an AMD Ryzen CPU and gotten a better graphics card.

I paid $300 for the prebuilt, then replaced GPU, PSU, and Ram

Okay so those are your current specs? How much did you pay in total?

300 + 65 + 190 + 80 = 635
