I have been looking to get into PC gaming recently but GPU prices are insane. My local Walmart has a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop (Model Number: TG01-0023w) for $600. Here are the specs it has:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500

RAM: 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM

Storage: 256 GB PCle NVME SSD

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Super (4 GB)

Is this a good machine. I know I'm going to need to upgrade some stuff such as storage and get that RAM up to 16 GB. The price for the GPU alone inside it almost costs as most as this system itself. Any opinions would be very helpful. Is this a good system? Thanks for any help.

Hi

If it's to play, then no
You may have difficulty with upgrades
My advice
search and compare on different sales sites
choose a model already equipped with a good graphics card from the start
unless you go through sites specializing in custom configurations
A computer manufacturer, if you have a low-end graphics card model, there is usually a low-power power supply
Sometimes Difficult to replace afterwards, and an additional expense, which can be significant

Minimum SSD of 500 GB

,If you don't have enough money, maybe you should save some money
minimum for a pc gamer rather needs $ 1000
