Weird that they'd include an RX 550. At that low and obsolete of a card, they might as well not even include it.

I can't find any indication of what the PSU is or how much trouble it would be to get an actual decent GPU in there. Anyone know?

It's a 10400F CPU. They had to throw some trash GPU in there somehow

It likely uses a TFX PSU. Typically the ones in this model are 180 watts, but the description does list a 310 watt PSU. If that's not enough, you can find higher rated TFX PSUs on Amazon. I don't know the quality of any of them, but commentors on Linus Tech Tips videos suggest Silverstone, which makes models in 300 watt bronze, and 500 and 700 watts gold.

My wife and I both have Very fast computers and we use them for out more difficult tasks including running a PLEx server with NAS storage ... but, from time to time we have a need for another system... so I was looking for a decent system at a good price and found this today on Costco on line... If you buy it with their Visa card you end up getting 4 years of warranty. The $150.00 Mfg discount brought it to $549.00 and includes free shipping.... I ordered 2 this morning, they will be delivered tomorrow...With Costco I have a 90 day return window if it doesn't work out.

What do you think of the deal?
