If you go with the fewest options with the 3060, the total comes to $1040.
The 3060 alone is selling for around $900 on eBay.

Stay away. The Cyberpower stuff is better. Think about that.

My son and I built a decent gaming PC with Ryzen 5 couple of months ago but I didn't know about the shortage of GPU and I am having difficult time finding one in stock. They seem to be selling good GPU like 3060 over $1000 these days.
Apart from this custom build gaming PC, I am also in market to buy laptop or desktop for my personal use for programming etc.
Can some expert please help me here with my doubts.
My question are
1. Would I be able to take out GPU from this HP PC and put it in my son's custom build PC.
2. If the answer to above question is yes, can I still use this PC. Also can I upgrade the RAM on this HP PC to 32 GB later? How can I figure out which motherboard it has so I can check what I can upgrade do. Also I am assuming when GPUs are easily available in market I'll be able to put in some of good compatible ones in this PC.

I just upgraded my 2012 HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t which came with an i7-3770 and a 600w PSU. Had to get a GPU card that fit the case. The MSI AMD RX 5500 XT 8GB, just barely fit in the case due to height restrictions of the case. I can now play modern games just fine at 1080p. Granted the CPU is hitting 100%, but I should be good for another 3 years at least.
Also, upgraded the RAM to a max of 32GB. Over the years, I had added 3 SSD, two HDD, a Blu-ray drive and a TV Tuner card. Still using the same original 600w PSU.
