They are a Ryzen 3500 (6-core) with a GTS 1650 Super. A 1650 Super is roughly twice the graphical performance of a 5700G.

It looks like Walmart's website sells out of these very quickly and only 3rd party sellers are listed there. But if you can find them at your local store they are sold for $599.

5700G has 16 MB of L3 cache, and each core can access the full 16 MB.
That's a huge improvement, and I don't think anyone will miss that extra cache. Upgrading to dual-channel RAM is obviously a good idea, although I wouldn't even bother buying a kit.
Probably, but you won't want another one for years.
I find the price pretty meh, though. I built one for a friend with 1TB nvme, 2TB hdd, 32GB ram, beefy PSU (for funsies), asrock b550, etc for 600. But I'm a specialist of a certain persuasion.
You see the G series on lower end desktops so the manufacturers can cheap out and not require a graphics card. The onboard chipset has Radeon and instructions for decent graphics....the processor is still solid. You can add your own graphics card and you're set.
16gb MAY become a problem eventually, but it is enough to start. I like the fact that it's a 1x16gb stick so I assume that expansion to 32gb is easy.
Couple of days ago ebay had a certified refurbished HP computer with 3700x CPU and 2 year warranty for less than $500 after 15% mothers day coupon - that was somewhat interesting
Try mining on CPU you already own before sinking any money into it.

Unless you can get your hands on a 3200 G or 3400 G really cheap and put it back in the tower and resell the tower I don't know if it's worth it to go that route just for the processor
your igpu will be gimped as hell if you don't have the pc setup for dual-channel mode

Just to note as it is mentioned: The PSU is a 310w Gold unit. So this is only rated for 87% efficiency at full load, or just 270 watts. The CPU is 65w. So yeah, a 200watt GPU is NOT gonna work. Even a 150watt GPU might push it. That only leaves 55w for the motherboard, memory, ram, disc drive and anything else you plug into it. I wouldn't go any higher than ~125watts myself.
You are better off getting the Dell XPS 8940 when it goes on sale if you want to game.
That means it supplies 180W to the pc - so might use 225w or so at the wall.
With 180w, that doesn't leave much for a GPU above say a 1650.

In the below video it is a Ryzen 3200G. It is still an 8CU graphics chip like the one found in the 5700G, but the 5700G graphics is clocked 750MHz higher so it will be even more apparent. Here, the 3200G can see upwards of +100% increase in performance going from 1 stick to 2 sticks.
