So I've been looking at upgrading my PC and it looks like I can get a better "micro" pc than my current (ancient) desktop for significantly less money than a full blown gaming rig. An example of such a rig is this.

I don't have high gaming requirements - I play mostly old games, I think the newest games I play are from 5+ years ago.

What reasons are there for not buying one of these (over a comparable "proper" desktop)?

    How would you break it down?

    PC Partpicker disagrees with you, especially at the reduced price on the Amazon micro option - making some assumptions on equivalence between the 'baked in' chips and proper GPU etc.

    I'd assume that economies of scale play a part too.

    But I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong!
