This PC is perfect for general puropse computing meeting the needs for 80% of the people. If you need to do 4k content creation, high end gaming, or scientific computing & data analysis then you are better off with a much more expensive computer with a dedicated graphics card and lots of expansion.

Like many from major brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Apple, etc.), uses proprietary power supplies, motherboards, and cases in their budget-friendly lines. These components can typically only be replaced with parts from the same manufacturer, although adapters are sometimes available to use standard parts.

However, most other components—such as the CPU, RAM, graphics card, and drives—are usually standard and can be upgraded or swapped out with parts from other vendors and 3rd parties.

If the system has an open PCIe slot, you can often install a graphics card that doesn't require external power, such as the Nvidia GTX 3050, or AMD RX 6400, or Intel A380. More powerful cards may need additional power connectors, which would require upgrading the power supply. Keep in mind that this could also lead to increased heat output .

Yeah just looked that up. But one thing, this may be compatible with Windows 12, but doesn't have an NPU for AI.

Does the motherboard accept a GPU> I'm guessing you are also upgrading the PSU? - Can you share more details pls? Thanks

I'm more familiar with laptops but why would this be a better pick over this i5-13400 PC [ebay.com] or i5-12400 here [ebay.com] (aside from minor config differences). This is a video I found on this model [youtube.com] but it isn't really helpful.

Edit: Hmm this may not be worth it for gamers. Even adding a $250 cost for a B580, $60 for a good PSU, and $20 for new fans it comes to around $600. Which is good but building a new system with better parts (omitting storage/OS) it's around $700 (or $650 including BF6 discount) so only saving $100 but getting much worse parts...

So Intel 13/14th gen there was the whole cpu degradation issue... so that's a risk, I've heard of non k CPUs failing so it's possible these never got the microcode updates and may be damaged. Or they may be fine. The 5600G has a hugely and significantly better integrated graphics over the Intel. So if you don't plan on putting in a graphics card into the computer and you plan on loading up a game or video editing program, the ryzen will be the way to go.

Most likely not. I've not heard of a prebuilt system like this... not since the Intel 3rd generation days of dell Optiplex that could take a 24 pin power supply.

So the ryzen has a Passmark GPU score of 2500 and the Intel hd 730 which is Intel 13th gen GPU score is 1500

honestly for the cpu, mb, ram this isnt bad. but if you want to upgrade with a dedicated gpu your going to need another psu with more power. that will bring the problem where you may not find one that fits the shape needed here as this is not a standard design. at that point, you might as well be getting another case and psu, which add to the costs. so all you would be getting of value is the cpu, mb and ram. The mb and ram though are going to be pretty low end so you may end up wanting to upgrade with better ram sticks to get at least 16gb. at that point, maybe not the best value here. if the config is good enough, the price is alright, but you can probably find a mini pc with simlar or better specs for around the same price.

Could you please find how many 3.5" disk mounts are there? I guess the 5.25" OD can be converted to 3.5". How many SATA ports on the board?
