What are you using it for?
Also, link?
Eta: Reason I’m asking for a link is because there are specs that aren’t clear from that list that I would want to clarify.

Yes, that seems like a very good deal.

I wouldn't buy a desktop PC without an SSD. (Solid-State Drive.)
Instead of using spinning platters it's a drive more akin to RAM.
Much faster. It's honestly the single biggest improvement in PC "snappiness" in the last decade+. Don't purchase a PC that doesn't at least have an SSD for the boot drive.

Unfortunately, the link didn’t give much more information. The cpu and gpu were both really good, but everything else about that model is awful. I thought I recognized it when I saw the image, but just confirmed that’s the model Gamer’s Nexus reviewed not too long ago. YouTube link: LINK

Would have been a better buy a year ago, as this price would have been worth it to get a 5800x and a 3060. But now? That's a lot of e-waste to sort through to get to components that you can now buy off the shelf pretty much whenever you want.

My only comment is it should have at least 32G instead of 16. You've got a 426 Hemi there with a 2bbl carb.
