Of course it is "good" else it wouldn't be 2k. What is your concern? Can you get cheaper? (probably). Would I spend 2k and have a gamemax PSU powering it? (no).

Could it still be classed as a "rip-off" or better else where for the price, type of thing.

Motherboard is bottom of the barrel and featureless for expansion later down the line, the PSU is about as poor as you can find before buying an AliExpress non-brand and the CPU should be the 13700K, as you'll want an on-board GPU for when you inevitably have to RMA the GPU at some point, due to the terrible PSU killing it.
Basically you are paying for the GPU and the CPU in that build, the rest is the lowest they could go, they haven't even gone with DDR5, which is actually priced well now.
Here is a much better DIY system, more than happy to build it for you should you need some help.

The PSU brand is trash tier. That's the one part you don't want to cut costs with.

The psu is junk

I'd say it's expensive and I'd go for a better SSD . And psu change . Have you looked at pc specialist website ?

Hi Sarden. As my son had recently moved out I gave him my pc with the intention of buying a pre-built so we could keep gaming together, with that in mind I'd been looking through your discussions & deals for a few days & thanks to you I ordered that system^^.Thankyou for all the work you put into this stuff, it really did help me. My son & I will be back to gaming together in the next few days :). Really, thanks again.

I wasn't sure about the PSU but it's obviously a dud. Going to spend tomorrow looking more into pre builds, £2000 area for something to play 4k 60 hopefully.

Which games are you interested in? Some require much more grunt than others..

I'm not into prebuilts, but as everyone has already said the one you've posted is very poor value.
Instead of giving poor advice (on what prebuilts to buy), I'd highly recommend following posts. They post frequently and are very helpful for people interested in getting prebuilt computers.
For instance, albeit with a 4070 and not a 4080 you're looking for, you might be interested in this: hotukdeals.com/dea…204
(The motherboard and the PSU are much better in comparison).

I'd get whatever has posted around your budget as he has great souricng for cheap combinations and his builds are always balanced.
40xx series seems a bit of a dud for me with only frame Interpolation. My cousin just got a 3090 build instead. (edited)
