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.

Buying an OEM PC and then having to buy an OEM key doesn't look right, at least to me.

I like how you say "only" 10-20% decrease, as if it was something negligible. That difference also translates to game performance, and a 10% difference can be a huge one, even more than what sepparates two different GPUs in some games.

Here's a couple of tests with different DDR4 modules:

testing with an X370 board, a Ryzen 7 1700 and a GTX 1080

There are 7fps between a 2400 and a 3000 kit. Not noticeable with those already huge numbers, but...

Here we have 5, 4 (this time it's with high settings, not medium) and 8 fps between the 2400 and the 2933 kits. That's almost the difference between a 470 and a 480, for example!

So, I have to disagree with you. It does matter.
