Premium machine for a bargain price

I got this PC while it was on sale for less than $700, and I have to say it's a great deal. And there was only one left in stock, so I was extra lucky. In my view this is definitely a high end machine. It has a fast Intel Core i5 9400 processor, as well as 8 GB of RAM, a 1 TB HDD and a 128 GB SSD. There is also a generous amount of USB ports on the front and back. It's also really quiet. During everyday use, the fan and hard disk are barely audible.
It's great, does what I need it to do - browse internet, scrapbooking and photos, accounting and music. The kids play online games have downloaded Steam and pushed the suggested limits a bit with no complaints.
I've had this computer for a month or so now. I've noticed two things with it. First, it wakes itself up from sleep sometimes, so when I put it to sleep at night, it wakes up, which wakes me up. Sort of forces you to shut it down so it won't do that. I'm using the same mouse and keyboard from my last computer, so it's not a sensitivity thing. Also, when in sleep mode, the power button flashes, so if I sleep it at night, I have to stick a piece of paper over the flashing button or it's like broadway in the room. Secondly, I've noticed, it freezes for a few seconds sometimes, I assume when it starts to do things in the background. So if I have a GIF going, or a video for any length of time... I will hear the computer make some noise and the images will freeze up, then resume. I've NEVER had this problem with my old computer, and would love to know why it does this. Also, it's only about as fast as my 11 year old computer. so I find it a bit slower than I expected of a shiny new computer. That could just be my internet connection though. I wouldn't know.

Everything is fine (speed, size, ...). There only 2 concerns. First, I wished it has a built in speaker so doesn't need an speaker and second, the delivery system supposed to get signature during delivery but they just dropped it off behind the door without informing about the delivery.
I have always had a laptop and now that I am working from home I decided to purchase a desktop. This Tower is excellent, it has many ports and I am very pleased at how fast the computer turns on. The memory that comes with this tower is amazing and it suits my needs and more. I would highly recommend this Desktop Tower.
