HPPavilion Gaming Desktop Computer, AMD Ryzen 5 3500 Processor, AMD Radeon Rx 5500 4 GB, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home (TG01-0040, Black)

We bought this PC for my grandson, who is an avid gamer. The features for the price point were excellent. We wanted to focus on speed where it counts, and we were looking for an inexpensive desktop with a good dedicated video card and disk speed. Because we had some unused monitors to add to the configuration, we got him a very functional system at an excellent price. I'd recommend this machine to gamers on a budget.

My son loves it! Bought this so he could have less lag on his favorite game- Minecraft! He hasn't tried other games yet but wow what a difference from his old laptop. It renders unbelievable distances (you can see much farther away) and NO lag. Not to mention the computer starts up from shut down mode almost instantly, zoom meetings and all other programs open effortlessly, no more "not responding" windows.

Good in between if you are looking to build one but arent in a rush

I was able to get mine at a very large discount at like 450 dollars so personally for me it was worth it , for gaming had to do some personal upgrades that was like 50 extra dollars but other then that it works great for most games from medium settings to performance mode on games that allow

Air flow is meh, but if that is a concern you shouldn't buy this anyway. I picked one of these up for a buddy who wanted to move from console to PC. I did do a few things to it first, I did a fresh install of Windows 10, I added another 8gb of ram. Updated Windows and drivers, there is no XMP option so if you want to upgrade the ram to lets say 3200 you'll likely need to use Ryzen master to hit those speeds. He primarily wants to play Rust and Apex Legends. This smokes Apex Legends at 1080p, drop the settings and Shaders a bit and its an easy 120 FPS. I played around with settings on Rust and set it to what I would call 'medium' settings and it was hitting 100 FPS.Once again these settings are WITH the added 8gb of ram for Dual Channel (Highly recommended.)

This is a great do it all, get your foot in the door gaming PC. It benchmarked at 97% desktop, 68% workstation, and 60% gaming. It is a very good value and provides a lot of bang for the buck.The GPU is the bottleneck here, the Ryzen 5 3500 is a bad mother.

Be warned. Do not purchase.Computer would not boot up. Took it to the Geek Squad who indicated that the computer graphics card (Radeon) was bad. However, being less than one year old it should still be under warranty. Spent over an hour on the phone with HP support. They were not able to provide a solution since they said it was software related (graphics card drivers caused problem). In the end, the tech's response was that he understood my frustration but could not help. Save yourself. Go to Dell or Apple.

The Pc is very good but I recommend upgrading the ram and storage, it's not a huge problem but it will give you a much better gaming experience. But those upgrades don't have to be now, you don't have to upgrade them immediately, overall an amazing product recommend 100%!
