Starter PC help

[Ckraid3]

Getting my sons a starter gaming PC. Looking for a prebuilt system. At around $400 usd can I beat these specs? Or is this a decent deal worth considering? 

(I know the memory isn’t the best I can upgrade later) 

Specifications

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-Core, 16-Thread) - 3.60
  GHz
• Graphics Card: Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 -
  6GB VRAM
• Memory: 16GB DDR4 RAM (2×8GB DIMM, 2400 MT/s,
  RGB, dual-channel)
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro (Activated)

Its actually not that bad, especially considering the prices on RAM and GPU's now'a'days.

This system will definitely play games at 1080p and its a very balanced system.

 

To give this system some further oomph down the line, a BIOS update and a Ryzen 5600x would do well and possibly a GPU upgrade to a 3070 or something similar, depending on the PSU in the system of course.

 

I would be so happy if this was a system I got as a kid for a starter system, thats for sure!

upgrade your memory ASAP , 
you can re-sell your 2x8gb 2400MHz kit for maybe  $50 and get 3200MHz or 3600MHz/cl16 2x8gb kit at around $70-80
it will cost you almost nothing and it will help the 3700x´s gaming performance a lot even with the card like rtx 2060 . 
slow memory is the n1 ZEN 2 performance killer .

other than that it´s a very solid entry level 1080p gaming/all purpose system .
