cyberpower Cyberpower Prebuilt Concern

[Schmooo]

Hi. I'm looking for a beginner gaming PC and am looking to spend ~1200. I've only been researching PCs, and I've gotten some advice from friends about what prebuilt to get. 

 

My main concern is that I'm researching and watching videos from people affiliated with companies. I've found a PC I think is a good value: Customize Prebuilt Gaming PC GX 7610 (cyberpowerpc.com) I'm just worried that the recs for it are overlooking something because they're being paid by Cyberpower etc... any thoughts?

 

From what I can tell, the SSD isn't ideal (which is the least of my concerns) and I've heard that the cooling isn't great... but then again, I'm not a AAA gamer

Would you be open to build one yourself?

 

The value isnt too bad. Its using 1 generation old tech, a VERY bad case for airflow and a stock cooler for a 12700f which is NOT enough.

I really would prefer to just buy one. Spending 100-200 more is not worth it to me buying every part individually and learning how to assemble it all (though, I know that it is relatively simple). Is the case something I can change?

 

Like I said, I'm not a AAA gamer and probably won't be pushing this thing to its limit. Is the case a real cause for concern in terms of longevity or performance? For now, I'm really just looking forward to running CEMU, yuzu, and PCS3 with only the occasional AAA game like FF7R (1080p is enough for me).

Watched some Linus tests and I think this AG400 would be fine Amazon.com: DeepCool GAMMAXX AG400 CPU Air Cooler 220w TDP 6mm x 4 Nickel Plated Copper Heat Pipes CPU Cooler with 120mm Fan PWM 2000RPM 75.89CFM for Intel LGA 1700/1200/1151/1150/1155 AMD AM5/AM4 : Electronics Thoughts?

Yes but I'd recommend going up to a thermalright PA120 if your case allows it. If not then go for the ag400
