[SOLVED] Thoughts on this prebuilt motherboard and cpu

Right I’m looking to upgrade my at this point dead and buried i7 2600 to a let’s say decent gaming system

I don’t need a 4K ultra settings 120 FPS gaming system as I primarily play single player games and don’t mind playing at 1080p 60 FPS as standard on games

would this combo of motherboard and cpu be

1. a good upgrade that does what I stated above
2. be at least somewhat futureproof so I wouldn’t need to upgrade for at least a couple of years 2 or 3 something like that

I have a Radeon rx 570 4gb currently that I run my pc on atm but could upgrade to a better gpu if needed

It's not really a "deal" since you can buy all the components separately for the same price.

As far as "is it good?". Sure. I'd probably suggest a B550 mobo.

What in two days you think prices will drop enough to the point it’s worth it

Doubtful, but maybe you decide you want one of those shiny new Ryzen 4000/5000 series CPUs after reading launch-day reviews.
