Great PC for the price! 4 1/2 star!

I want to start the review by saying that this is my first proper gaming/productivity PC that I have purchased. I was originally looking into building my own PC but due to the the crypto mining craze, the GPU I was planning on purchasing, (RX 580) was out of stock or ridiculously overpriced. To make matters worse my CPU choice, (Ryzen 1600) also raised in price. Even if the PC components were at a regular price I would have ended up paying close to $1200 for just the PC and not any peripherals.
So I searched for pre built PC's and this one really caught my eye. At the time of purchase, it was $999 and on par with my budget. What was even better was that this pre built PC has everything I wanted and more! It has a better CPU than what I was gonna build, better GPU(arguably), Windows 10 included, and keyboard and mouse!
The keyboard has membrane switches which attempt to mimic mechanical keyboard switches, clicky and tactile functionality. It has LED backlighting and you can choose between a couple of colors(NOT fully RGB). The PC case also has changeable colors but the fan colors will remain red. The mouse fits my hand very comfortably (I have medium to larger hands). The mouse also has a dedicated DPI increase/decrease button on it, has a "turbo fire" button right next to the left click for aiding in gaming; has a button in the thumb rest area that switches the DPI to 4000("Sniper Shot");has a thumb rest for ergonomics; has a white LED light that remains white and has 5 5g weights on the bottom that in my opinion don't do much.
Overall I strongly believe I got a great deal for the price. It does great in terms of gaming. Runs high FPS in HIGH or ULTRA settings on 1080p settings. And I know this will perform great in video rendering if I ever plan on doing that. To conclude I would definitely recommend this PC to anyone who builds PCs and is also affected by the miners or if you don't have the time or really want to build the PC. You're getting a lot for your money and could end up saving money in investing in other stuff.
Only some nit-picky CONS: It is hard to see the letters on the keyboard from certain angles and if a light is on it. For instance a desk lamp.
The mouse is a little lighter than I would want and the buttons and scroll wheel are a solid red.
The PC fans are constantly red and cannot be changed to a different color.

I think the Ryzen 7 comes with a stock cooler. Is that cooler installed on the PC?
