    Based on specs looks like there's a spare DIMM slot and a PCIe x16 slot, so could potentially bump the RAM and add a graphics card

      180W PSU

    Proprietary motherboard and power supply makes it not very upgradeable at all

    • Euthyphro on 08/01/2022 - 06:48

      Can you recommend a couple of reputable generic motherboard brands? Am thinking of building one myself. Ta.

        It all will depend on price really. Personally I've never had a problem with Asrock boards, and I've also found the MSI BIOS very user friendly. However you should shop around and see which board/brand offers the most features at your chosen price point.

  • bostos on 07/01/2022 - 16:47

    was thinking to build a PC with similar spec like this
    is the price of this going to be close to a DIY PC (without OS)?

    • Aleigh123 on 07/01/2022 - 17:24

      Depends on what you're comfortable compromising on I guess? But it shouldn't be too difficult I'd think.

    • citybargainhunter on 16/01/2022 - 08:05

      Totally, I recently built one with the same AMD CPU, Gigabyte mobo, 32GB RAM, Corsair 850W PSU, Coolermaster case, albeit no HDD for $720.

  • Meaty on 07/01/2022 - 16:51

    Power Supply only support 180W

    • Aleigh123 on 07/01/2022 - 17:12

      Also very possibly a proprietary PSU :/

      • Chris McMahon on 07/01/2022 - 18:32

        Power Supply Type: 180 W Smart AC power adapter

        Does it even have an internal power supply? Sounds like it could be an external brick, like NUCs have.

        • tee cee on 07/01/2022 - 18:58

          It is proprietary and internal. swapped mine for a 300w from ali express for about 90$ i think

        • DonWilson on 07/01/2022 - 19:01

          Good question. The phrasing certainly seems like an external brick. The diagram in the models upgrade manual shows an internal switching PSU but it looks fairly generic and may be misleading and I can't find a tear down or a part number.

          edit was looking stuff up before tee cee replied. Internal, apparently.

  • ItsMeAgro on 07/01/2022 - 16:55

    Is 5600g that newish APU with a pretty good onboard GPU? Is it as good as a GTX 1650?

    • celery juice on 07/01/2022 - 16:58
      +6

      No, its as good as about a GT 1030

    • momptdeals on 07/01/2022 - 17:05
      +3

      The 5600G although a relatively new part with current gen CPU tech, has really dated integrated AMD Vega GPU (2017 I believe).

      Performance would be on par with something like a gtx1030.

      Here's a comparison vs 1050 where the 1050 almost doubles performance on some games.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gflZdxI3xz4

      I would say a GTX1650 would output more than double the frames of a 5600G's integrated Vega gpu.

      Having said that, I still think the 5600G is a great stop gap while you wait for a decent GPU deal.

  • kungfuman on 07/01/2022 - 16:55

    get a gtx 1660 or 580 in it and you will be set for most tasks and maybe even a few 1080p games.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2022 - 17:22

      180 watt power supply
      That is not possible with this PSU sir

      • kungfuman on 07/01/2022 - 17:22

        maybe a Voodoo 3?

  • scrimshaw on 07/01/2022 - 17:08

    Just some key things to keep in mind

    AMD’s B550A chipset belongs to the company’s Promontory-LP family (B450) Anandtech. May not support support PCIE Gen4 because it's a motherboard for budget systems: it's basically just a renamed B450 motherboard. I can't find any information on whether they kept PCIE gen4 support or if AMD decided to nerf/ disable it with microcode updates, but either way, 5600G won't do PCIE gen4 anyway.

    Read carefully what CPU is supported by HP as you shouldn't assume it can support the upcoming Ryzen refresh (same socket but BIOS may require upgrades)

    180watt power supply means you won't be able to use even mid-range graphics cards until you replace it.

  • audreamer on 07/01/2022 - 17:53

    Is this a joke? For a new PC these days there is not USB 3 port:

    Ports: 4 USB 2.0 Type-A; 1 audio-in; 1 audio-out; 1 microphone; 1 RJ-45

    • coxymla on 07/01/2022 - 18:03

      That's the back panel, the front panel has
      1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate; 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 10Gbps signaling rate; 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate

  • HeyPapito on 07/01/2022 - 17:55

    Much better pcs out there. hard to upgrade as power supply is 180 watt and proprietary

  • coxymla on 07/01/2022 - 18:04

    While the specs of this machine aren't too crash hot, the cast is almost SFF dimension and it should work nicely as a HTPC etc.

    15.54 x 30.3 x 33.74 cm

  • Hugh G Rection on 07/01/2022 - 18:25

    is this good for gaming. i play dota and csgo

    what do i buy to make this good enough to play on max settings.

    • coxymla on 07/01/2022 - 18:35

      You probably want to wait for a deal on a gaming PC with a 3060 in it from techfast or budgetPC.

      It would be hard to get a decent GPU into this.

      • nigel deborah on 08/01/2022 - 10:38

        A 3060 is massive overkill for just CS GO and DOTA.

        If they are playing on a 1080p 60hz monitor (and do not plan to upgrade) this PC would do perfectly fine.

        For higher resolutions and framerates, need only check benchmarks for various GPUs, but I would expect a 1650/1660 to do very well.

    • coxymla on 07/01/2022 - 18:42

      Dell currently have an Inspiron with a 1650 Super for $1239
      Lenobo have a IdeaCentre with a 1660 Super for $1499
      A 1660 Super by itself probably costs $750 new

    • maxbon on 07/01/2022 - 20:52

      If that’s all you play, then yes. More demanding games will run poorly on this machine though. Adding another RAM stick will help, but the 5700G‘s inbuilt GPU will still struggle in modern games.

    • Lukian on 08/01/2022 - 01:56

      Dota2: Drag the render quality slider to 99% and enable FidelityFX, done. Also try Vulkan as the renderer. You'll want something beefier than a 5600G, although you'll get about 70fps at 1080p on medium'ish settings.

    mmm single channel ram, yummy

    Most laptops at this price range are better lol

  • jiberz on 07/01/2022 - 19:34

    You can go smaller with an asrock X300w case and 5600g. I made one of those to connect to my TV.

  • maxbon on 07/01/2022 - 20:49

    Still too expensive for what it is. And 8 GB single channel RAM is not only too little, but also lacks bandwidth for gaming.

    And it’s not really upgradable due to its underspecced PSU. Like adding a discrete GPU for gaming will probably be too much power draw.

    • iridiumstem on 07/01/2022 - 21:00

      I am kinda thinking this might be an OK PC for someone who's using it for work, who isn't computer savvy.

      That's at least my thought process right now, because I have to help someone in that position to get a desktop. I don't think I should mess around with Windows 11 upgrade requirements (i.e. get something like Haswell i5 machine) and the less inputs I need to put in, the better.

      Or I could probably get individual parts when they are on special and make something like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11599995/redir

  • ywpn on 07/01/2022 - 21:44

    Would highly recommend getting 16 or 32GB of RAM.

  • Geekomatic on 07/01/2022 - 23:04

    Reminds me of a HP desktop brought to me not long ago with dead drive. Owners had already bought a new machine as it was for business. This was a standard-sized desktop PC tower. Except it has a laptop power brick? I open the tower to find…

    A mini-itx board! Not only that, there was no graphics slot (none at all).

    Worse? No way to install a regular ATX PSU even if you wanted to use the case, which did have useful, front connections.

    HP are bollocks.

  • GordonD on 08/01/2022 - 10:19

    This is an excellent business computer. Its small and fits on a desk. Its well built and reliable. It doesn't use a lot of power or make a lot of noise. So it would also make a good HTPC.

    It would be a poor choice for someone who wanted to do gaming, or to expand it.

  • JerraJones on 08/01/2022 - 19:08

    8gb single channel memory

    180 watt proprietary PSU+a proprietary MB.

    Unknown ssd.

    McaFee lol

    Even if the deal wasn't full of proprietary parts it wouldn't be worth spending an extra 100 bucks for the extra assembly fee tacked on top. Buy a laptop if you really think you can't build a pc, at 800 dollars you're getting close to laptops with 1660/2060 in them. Or make your own with the same specs with a better motherboard+PSU that you can actually use for a gpu upgrade in the future while saving 100+ dollars.

    • iridiumstem on 08/01/2022 - 21:41

      Any specific ones that you recommend? I am kinda in a market for something like this for someone I know, and it's been a long while since I've bought a PC.

  • xuqi on 09/01/2022 - 02:28

    If you must buy a OEM system, then the Dell Optiplex 7080 MT is a better buy to look for.

    https://www.hardware-corner.net/desktop-models/Dell-OptiPlex…

    Comes with a 500W 80+ Platinum PSU w/ 6/8pin PCI-E power cable.

    • bchliu on 09/01/2022 - 17:32

      Lol.. Double the price from Amazon

  • amigo7 on 13/01/2022 - 16:37

    got an ultrawide recently (LG 29WL500-B 29") wonder if this processor supports 2560x1080 resolution
