    PCI-Express Gen 3. The AMD Ryzen 5000 G series give up PCIE Gen4 support in exchange for integrated GPU's.

    The motherboard appears to be using an 'OEM-exclusive' B550A chipset, which is just a carbon copy of the older B450 series and not a real B550 mobo. The rebranding is done entirely for marketing purposes

    The case has no front intake fans — it appears to just have holes on the side panels for passive air intake as hot air is pulled out the back. Not suitable for putting high end parts in as they will be starved of airflow.

    Not like you could fit a good GPU in it with a 180W PSU anyway

  Its hard to see who would find this well suited to their needs.

  It uses an old chipset. Its only got single channel RAM and the smallest SSD you can buy. If you're thinking of upgrading it, by the time you did anything you may as well have bought something better to start with. And the 180W PSU limits what you will ever be able to do.

  I guess you get the HP name, if that's what you value. But all I've ever got from buying a new HP product is trying to get blood out of the stone that is a HP support structure that's geared to support corporates, not consumers.

  I wouldn't rate it an OzBargain.

  As is, you could probably get a lot more for your money buying a mini-PC.

    And it has some useless features like a DVD drive. Haven't needed one for 3 years…

  Don't bother with this one - it doesn't fit any use case well other than be 'new' and have a big company name on it.

  If you're thinking of turning this into a gaming PC, just skip it and go straight to Techfast. My own experience with a HP box is that their OEM motherboard only supported two GPU models, both of which had to be purchased from HP and neither of which was good.

  For a home office, buy a refurb micro PC or one of those little N100 boxes floating around and save yourself $300.
