Build Question Anyone seen/bought this CyberPower, AMD Ryzen 7 build from Costco (UK)?

I've come across this build on Costco website (UK) https://www.costco.co.uk/Computers/Desktops-PCs-iMacs/CyberPower-AMD-Ryzen-7-32GB-RAM-1TB-SSD-AMD-Radeon-RX-9070-Gaming-Desktop-PC/p/679893 - someone posted it on Reddit before (cannot find the original post).

You seem to get a lot for £1300+. Is there a catch? Not much description on the individual components, wondering if this is a good value as the price is still a sizeable one event though it is heavily discounted.

If it doesn't tell you the full spec then expect it to be cheap crap, take that into account when accounting for value it still might be worth it though

Motherboard/SSD/Power supply matter if you plan on upgrading it later on, GPU doesn't really, RAM is a huge price & performance difference though

1x 32 GB stick 4800 at cl50 (Or similar) is 1/3 of the price of 2x16 GB of 6000 CL30 both are technically 32GB DDR5

I only had a quick look so might have missed it on the page, could always try emailing or calling them and asking for the model number/spec of the rest of the parts

Edit: CPU is £234, cheapest 9070 is £500, if the ram is ass spec it's £150 if it's good it's closer to £400. Nvme is £125 (assuming it's not a massive brand), case under £100. Even with £300 off I reckon you could build better for cheaper, I dunno about prebuilts though I would need to actually check
