(Prebuilt tower) Good value?

[nmltbvwkiwqn]

Looking at an MSI pre-built (link) and just wanted to make sure it's  a decent value for the price.

 

Stats are 

Ryzen 5 5600G

Radeon RX 6600

550W 80+ Bronze power supply

16GB DDR4 3200 ram

MSI mATX pro (b550) motherboard

Price is $960 USD with a $200 rebate

 

Thanks in advance

Well, I would say no.

First you wouldn't need a 5600g if you have separate integrated graphics - I guess they use 5600g for both "no-graphics cards " and "with graphics card" sku.

The 550w psu works with 6600 video card, but would not be a great choice if you would eventually decide to upgrade to a more powerful video card

 

Here's pretty much same build at $740, with a 650w power supply and motherboard with wireless  :

You can bump the SSD to a 1 TB model, and bump the video card to a RX 6600 XT and still be below 960$

I was hoping I'd finally found a good pre-built but looks like I have no choice but to get my hands dirty. Thanks for all the pointers!
