On paper it seems fine. Though the fact that the product overview section doesn't match the title is worrisome.

 

3700X, with B550, 16GB of RAM and a 2060 super is pretty solid. The RAM is a little slow at only 3000MHz, and you need to watch out for using only a single stick. Also, the PSU brand and model is not named, so that could be problematic as well.

Well, something seems a bit off.. In the overview section

 

Vs the main description:

 

Which of both is the correct one? 3700X + B550 + 2060 Super + Windows in the current situation isn't all that bad for that price, BUT you HAVE to make sure it's the exact same config. Some google search results bring the same system as new condition but refurbished parts. Still a semi-good value considering the GPU crisis.

I don't know what your local prices are these days but 1600 USD for a 2060 system? Yea how about no. Even so, here are all my thoughts:

 

- Too pricy for 2060.

- PSU is ... well, let's say I'd be really desparate to put it in my PC

- 500GB "up to 30x faster than HDD" SSD and no other storage? Not only you'll run out of space but I can imagine some unknown brand budged dramless af POS SSD won't perform all that well

- You might want to upgrade that CPU cooler .. looks nice but I doubt it performs well

- Motherboard is wierd .. first I thought it was ASrock B450 pro4 mATX (which is not best in first place) but since it says B550 and I don't know any B550 with that VRM cooler, I think it's a crap mobo as well.

 

Checking the above ... well, case and RAM seems fine, but that's about it, I'd stay far away from this.

Even in todays market 1600 for a 3700x 2060 system (if it even is that because the information is weird) is just a bad price you can easily get 3060 or better systems for that even now.

Seems a little steep for the 2060, considering it’s behind the 3060 laptop GPU now, let alone a desktop 30 series. But in the current market any good card is worth its weight in gold. If you can hold out you might be able to get a 30 series soon instead for a similar price, but it all looks decent, just a tad overpriced. But welcome to 2021 I suppose.

 

I did find a 5600X and 3060 for a better price, just needs a RAM upgrade as it’s only 8GB but you’ve got an 800W 80+ gold instead of bronze power supply, a 1TB SSD and much more powerful hardware: https://www.newegg.com/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gm60070/p/N82E16883230564?quicklink=true

Well with any pre-built you're basically getting a GPU at some decent price and some stockpiled parts they couldn't get rid of. This mobo i'm 99.69% sure is the Gigabyte B550M DS3H with the endless revisions. It's know to be problematic with anything other than 3rd gen Ryzen, so that's why it's put together with the 3700X. Upgrading the CPU with that mobo is possible on paper with a BIOS update, but the stability is nightmare.
