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.

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.

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