Product: HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000a (2Z6C9AV)

Hello, I have just acquired a HP Pavilion Desktop PC, model #TP01-2234, AMD Ryzen 7570OG Procssor, AMD Radeon Graphics. Only 16GB but hoping it can be upgraded. My question is does anyone think I could play triple A video games on it decently. Or what do I need to do to make it a decent computer to play games. Yes I know it is not a gaming PC 🙂

@magolson , welcome to the Community.

 

Here are the "Product" and "Motherboard" specifications for the computer.  It appears that the weakest link in your computer is the video card.  It is integrated and not meant for high-end gaming.  The motherboard has "One PCI Express Gen 3 x16" slot for a video card.  Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when adding or upgrading a video card.

 

You will have to check to see the wattage of your power supply unit (PSU) and if it has a proprietary 4-pin power connector.  If it is the 4-pin power connector you will have to buy any upgrade from HP.  The most powerful they sell is 500W (L05757-800).

 

Here is a website to help you check the system requirements for the games that you want to play.
