The problem with buying a pre-built like this from Amazon is you don't know exactly what you're going to get. The manufacturer doesn't mention the exact model and part numbers of the motherboard or the PSU, so you end up taking "pot luck" as this buyer discovered:
The reason I bought this PC and the reason I included in my email to customer service is the motherboard stated (ASUS Prime B550M-A) has built-in Wi-Fi and 4x RAM slots (Up to 4866 MHz), with a max RAM of 128 gigs and 2 x M.2 drive slots.
I already have 64 gigs of RAM waiting to upgrade the PC and intend on adding another M.2 card.
The motherboard included is the ASUS Prime A520M-K, an all-around inferior motherboard. It does not have built-in Wi-Fi and only has 2 x RAM slots (Up to 4600 MHz) with a max RAM of 64 gigs and 1x M.2 slot. This means I cannot upgrade as I intended.
They thought they were getting a 4-slot Prime B550M-A and ended up with a 2-slot A520M-K. Of course knowing how loosely Amazon's Rating system works, this user might have purchased a completely different system to the one you're looking at.
By omitting specific details, the manufacturer can fit any components that fit their very loosely worded specification. One week you might get an Asus mobo, next week it might be MSI, Gigabyte or Asrock. That's not important if you don't plan to update anything in the life of the computer, but a real pain if some important feature is missing. It's a bit like buying a car, without knowing the engine size or number of seats.
The other thing I'd be wary of is the term "700W Bonze PSU". Nothing (much) wrong with Bronze, although Gold is often better. It's simply an efficiency rating. What does concern me is they can fit almost any PSU and it might only come with a short warranty of 3-years or less. Better quality (more expensive) PSUs come with 5, 7, 10 or 12-year warranties, which often reflect the quaility of components used. If you offer a 3-year warranty, it implies you're worried you might get too many RMAs with a longer warranty.
If you want a pre-built, I'd be far more inclined to look for something from a bespoke PC builder such as Chillblast, PCSpecialist, CyberPowerSystem, possibly Scan, OverclockersUK. There are many suppliers apart from Amazon.

With one of these builders, you can pick and choose parts, or let them suggest something in your price range.
P.S. I've just spotted the SSD interface is specified as SATA, not faster NVMe. Who knows?
