This is the one I got back when the price of the graphics cards were sky rocket high and some people ordered it from HP web site just to take out the graphic card (I believe 1650 back then) and put the left over on eBay. I slowly upgraded to 32GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD, Ryzen 7 5700G, and RTX 3060 12GB of RAM, so it's ok now 🙂

Bought this when the original came out a couple of years ago and was recommended here. Maxed out the memory, upgraded the SSD to super fast and cloned OS to it, added 2nd super fast SSD, and a couple of other tweaks and it kicks butt!

[@zeroturn7091]

I bought mine because the PS5 was OOS at the time. I also went with 32GB of RAM, but messed up getting 3200 MHz 1.35V XMP (later replaced with a 16GB 1.2V stick to give me 24GB at 2667MHz). For those that don’t know you have to use Ryzen Master when you’re out of JDEC spec. I kept the stock M.2 SSD, and added an 8 + 10TB HDD setup. I later put a 6600 in there, and the lack of XMP or SAM was the end of the road for me.

Sorry who's buying this for gaming in 2023? Might be playable for those low detail titles that run literally 300 plus fps at high settings no upscaling with decent hardware but new titles and the cyberpunk update are going to kill it flat out. I wasn't even aware they still made ryzen 3 cpus as nobody uses them in gaming so they don't get featured in any gaming benchmarks. A 256 gig nvme is worthless if you want more then one game. I might use that as a dedicated windows boot drive with a seperate nvme for games, but with only one nvme slot that board isn't good enough for doing that. 8 gigs of what ram? No name 2200 cl40? 8 gigs would cause all kinds of stability problems as modern titles will chew through that like nothing, 32 and up is what you want these days. I mean ddr4 ram and m.2 drives are dirt cheap but since you're replacing them its wasted money buying a bargain basement prebuilt and forking over more money just to get it to be usable, not good just usable. The gpu is only 4gig vram which is bottom barrel and wount run anything new and seriously doubt it ran cyberpunk at a playable rate other then 1080p lowest settings with max upscaling. So now since we need to upgrade pretty much everything its a $329 case and psu, and you can get a much better case and psu for far far less.
