Not a build it yourself one.
A lot of people lack time or skills and aren’t interested in building their own.
For reference, I’ve well over 2 decades of experience in all aspects of computer programming to peripherals and hardware, yet I just bought this, it’s an ideal business machine for me, albeit I’ve an 8th Gen with 16GB ram already but, whatever.
I’m happy with this deal and voucher. (edited)
On the subject to whether it's worth it. There's really not much in this PC, it's prebuilt and comes with Windows 11. I definitely would not pay the current full price, ok with the discounted price and the gift voucher though.

- found it, item number? ! (edited)
However, at these specs - I don't think it makes a lot of sense in the long run.
If you mainly just use the internet, business tasks etc and don't do anything particularly intensive, an i5 12400 is probably overkill.
If you want to play video games, do any video editing or anything more intensive then this PC just isn't flexible enough - the PSU as mentioned above is likely to be proprietary (and is also only 280w) so would restrict you to a graphics card that draws all its power from the motherboard (75w), which would be highly restrictive.
Additionally, if you want to upgrade down the line - you basically cant. I can't say for sure, but the motherboard and case may be proprietary, as well as on the basic side.
Beyond installing some more RAM and storage - which I definitely would even for web browsing, your upgrade path is extremely limited.
In conclusion, I'm not saying this is a bad deal as such, its just not particularly futureproof/upgradeable.
I understand why buying a pre-built is preferable, but at the end of the day this is just going to end up as e-waste 5 years down the line.
