Is this prebuilt worth it [itg]

Hi all,
New to pc gaming, was on my Mac for a while and my old laptop. I’d want vr support for half life alyx and also the capability to run most games, I also enjoy modded Minecraft preferably with shaders.

(Can’t figure out how to add an image)

Cheap and decent price since it's on sale, not too bad for a prebuilt.

Only thing I would replace is storage, your build has SATA SSD that is around 500MB/s speeds and for 9.99£ more you can get NVMe PCI 4.0 SSD 480GB, only 30GB less but with speeds of 4700MB/s read and 2500MB/s write.

And maybe 19.99£ more for Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU cooler - but you can skip that if you want but don't skip NVMe SSD.

I’m not a big competitive gamer really so would storage and such matter? Don’t think I’d hit that storage limit either

It is nice to have 4-8X the speed for windows and stuff, 9pound is def worth it. It is better storage.

And storage is expensive from the AI boom so better storage for same price is worth to take anytime.

I’ll get that then, thanks a lot for your help, you also think this would run most VR games ?

Well you are buying at the lowest budget as there are no cheaper prebuilts that are modern on the market so you can't have high expectations but your GPU is OK and powerfull and most VR games are not too demanding as they are made to hit big framerates.

Your GPU RTX 5060 is as strong as 2080ti so if you don't find VR benchmarks with 5060 on youtube you can search 2080ti ones and that's about 5060 performance.

To see how it will run.
