That specific one comes out to around $450. It looks to be about a $2500 rig (almost $1000 of that just being SSD storage). Honestly not too bad for a high end computer. I saved up and bought myself one like that and I'm just a pizza guy. I also use my computer a lot though and it'll last me at least a decade.
It's probably still overkill lol. I only upgraded because a family member wanted my old one and I basically got a 50% discount on a new one with how much they paid me. That one was an fx-8350 with a 290x I think? Solid rig even up until I sold it.
I messed around with overclocking, then quickly realized that a 5% performance bump is not necessary and comes at the cost of component lifespan and power consumption. Stock is always more than enough (unless it's like a core 2 duo or something).
That heavily depends on the processor and application. Back in the DDR3 days, you could easily see a 50% higher frame rate from an overclock. Even now gpu overclocking has similar results, although it's a bit more involved.

My current one has a 5700xt in it and it's solid. Can run everything on max at 100+ fps most of the time (on a refurbished 1440p monitor)

You don't even notice over clocking. It's just nerd number wars
