No.
ETA: I think you're adding an extra ≈€300-€400 just to have them build it for you. A recent post listed a better setup for ≈$600usd, and it had 32gb RAM, a 6700XT, and a 5800X (iirc).
I think they're scalping you. You'd be better off buying the parts yourself and building it. It's not hard to do; there's plenty of YouTube content about building one yourself.
Thanks for the appraisal. Not surprised that there's some extra in that price. Building it myself is not an option because I'm clumsy to the extent that I should get it diagnosed. Getting it assembled seems to be the cheapest alternative for me. But generally speaking, is that setup good enough to run older and indie games? At least the case seems to have plenty of fans. My current setup has practically no airflow and the fans are going crazy as soon as I even as much as touch a game.
That's way overkill if you just want to run old games and indie games IMO. What's your current specs? Maybe it would be better to just spend a but upgrading your current rig and fixing the cooling issues.
Can't upgrade my older rig, it's an Acer pre-built and I watched a Youtube video about trying to upgrade it. Guy had to cut something out from the back to make room for the new GPU. Current specs are Geforce GTX 1080 Super and 16 GB of RAM. Runs hot and loud as all hell when I try to do some gaming on it. Regarding this new build, I also want to do some video editing, hence the higher specs.
