Is this a decent deal?
I know a ssd seems to be all it needs for me. And someone in the questions section said it has this motherboard. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B250M-A/

Is this a decent deal?

The price is decent compared to many of the boutique builder systems like CyberPower that are priced way too high, but not what I would personally consider a good or great deal.

I guess if someone didn't want to build their own, but I think someone watching for good sales could build it cheaper themselves (or at least customize all the the components they wanted).

Thanks, I was about to go for it with the 15% ebay sale, but I'll keep looking.

Instead of posting non deal questions in here I started a thread in the proper thread.

Too pricey. I recently bought the AMD Ryzen version of this, bundled with an Oculus Rift... subtracting the price of the Rift, the PC was $539. I still added another 8GB of RAM (bought the exact same White XPG DIMM that was in it from a seller on eBay) and a 500GB SSD for the system drive, then replaced the 1TB platter drive with a 2TB I had laying around. It made an awesome system, for sure, but for gaming today, you NEED 16GB of RAM.

I agree! I wish I had 32GB in my Ryzen boxes.
