Swap out the R5 1500x for a R5 1600 and save a bit of money on a cheaper motherboard and that is a decent build.

No it's not. It lacks OS (which is almost a crime for a pre-build PC), and needs much faster memory, because a 2400 MHz kit will hold the CPU performance a lot. Also a $914.00, that now marks $1,019, PC should come with an SSD, even if it's a small one, and/or an HDD of more than 1TB.

There have to be better options elsewhere.

I never said it was fantastic.
You can get a OEM key pretty cheaply (under $50) and yeah a SSD would help greatly.
Oh, and the RAM should be fine, it should only be a 10 - 20% max decrease from a 3000MHz kit.
