Hello I recently just bought a new gaming PC which I pick up tomorrow

Bought it as a prebuild (I know, I know), as from experience building my last one was just a nightmare as I'm not very hardware savvy

Question is, was it priced good for what it is? I still have some budget to make upgrades on casing, cooling, maybe even get more ram

Maybe upgrading to 64gb?

Usage: Apex legends, Diablo Resurrected, World of warcraft. Would like to have multiple games running at a time so I can tab between them while waiting for queues in the other game (I generally play windowed mode for most of my games)

Price: $2,298NZD ($1,413.51USD)

edit: Also it comes with windows 11 home and not pro. Does this make a difference lol?

A bit more on the expensive side, but you're paying a pre built tax. It's fine tbh

You won't notice a difference between home and pro versions.

You'll probably need to upgrade your RAM a bit, especially when playing Apex + another game and potentially having YouTube or something else in the background. Test it out first to see if it gets sluggish though
Windows 11 Home is fine, you just won't be able to join domains, RDP into your PC and cannot use Hyper-V. Nothing a home user really needs

32GB seems like good enough to play any game these days, I dont see any CPU Cooler (Aside from the one showing in the Picture) but its not listed

I suggest you buy a CPU Cooler,

Based on what I seem, any 240mm CPU Cooler would work, I suggest getting a Corsair (Normally priced at around 100$ USD) and you can always monitor the speed using their software.
