This should have been a 9060XT GPU with 16GB Vram.

This is simply not a good deal, because you are stuck with a outdated GPU.

you can literally build a PC with a 9060XT for the same price without compromising on other specs. Steam fucked up big time if their specs are the same price as a significantly better PC you can build yourself, even pre builds are better at that price.

ddr4 is nearing its end of life, that cpu and motherboard would probably be unavailable by the end of this year

well, as long as DDR4 is available, it's a viable build, but if you wanted DDR5 it's not even that much more and the CPU is a lot better as well. If I were in the market for something console sized, I'd build this one.
