If you need a PC desperately, pick the Acer with i5-13400/16GB/512GB [costco.com] for only $50 more. The CPU is significantly faster, and the extra RAM and the bigger SSD are a plus. All those extras for only $50. Think 3 years ahead: Would you rather have the $50 or a better computer which doesn't feel obsolete?
but the New price is still too high.
I upgraded the PSU to 400W [ebay.com] and added a GTX 1660 Super Video card
Updated the 256 M.2 to a 1TB Kingston NV2 [a.co] with a heatsinc [a.co].
upgraded the Ram to 16GB T-force 3200mhz [amazon.com]
upgraded the stock CPU cooler to a Cooler Master i71C [amazon.com]
With all the updates it games pretty well on high settings at 1080P and is a nice Emulation PC / Plex server.
My total cost was a little lower because I already had the 1660S
It was a fun project

I had the video card the 16gb of ram and a 1tb ssd already.
bought the PSU and M.2 and coolermaster cooler.
Roughly spent $425 with all my leftover parts
Otherwise, for those considering possible GPU upgrades, potentially compatible models which come in variants without accessory power connector(s) includes:
- RX 6400
- GTX 1650 (select implementations)
- RTX 3050 (2024 models)
Good luck!Jon
