Seeking tips and guidance for enhancing a prebuilt product.
This price is great for the PC if it functions properly. The CPU and GPU alone are worth around 600 dollars. I’d consider upgrading to a better case, a cooler, an additional 1x16GB RAM module, or a new kit with two 16GB sticks of RAM, plus a solid PSU. If you can, sell the replaced parts.

I think you can't do better than that PC compared to the 600 dollars he received.
If the price had been 600 dollars, the CPU and video card would have been more expensive. The link doesn't show any sales or shipping from Cyberjunk. Using this link with a price of 600 would be a total scam.
The decision about whether it's a scam hinges on whether he receives the items and if they match the description provided.
I believe I’ll keep things as they are for now and update them later, because this is my first PC and I’m not expecting any issues. I think it won’t be a problem, especially since I wasn’t very sure about these details before. Thanks for your help!
I’m considering the upgrades mentioned earlier for the PSU and replacing the RAM that comes with it. Would swapping it out instead of matching the existing RAM be acceptable? Also, regarding your previous comment about the F suffix processor, I thought it would work fine at the time because I wasn’t planning to overclock and had a dedicated graphics card. I didn’t realize the quick sync feature existed, so thanks for clarifying that. In the future, if I decide to replace my CPU, I’ll look for one with built-in graphics.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll consider checking other cases and likely switch to a magnetic dust filter first. Regarding the RAM, I’m thinking about whether a 750 or 800 W PSU is better—what’s the difference between them?
The wattage shown on a power supply unit mainly reflects its ability to deliver consistent power at a standard level. When you choose parts, opting for a quality PSU ranging from 650 to 850 watts is sufficient. Emphasize the importance of quality in what I mentioned. PSUs perform best when they operate between 20% and 80% of their maximum rated wattage.
When working on video editing in the mix, consider using a second storage system with separate read and write drives.
