If you want to game, it's better to spend the extra $50 on the $600 HP that Walmart has.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Pav.../943933730

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

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...5260vs4058

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.

This is why it's called a desktop.

What about The Sims 4 and a few of the expansion packs? My wife's older desktop is starting to have issues but it has a discrete card in it, a AMD Radeon R9 360 2GB DDR5, with 8gb of RAM & the processor is a AMD A10-7800.

Any insight you can provide would be appreciated. I've done some Googling and it looks like it could run it alright, but just wanted to see what some people thought.
The processor will be a huge upgrade and the memory will run faster as well. This should be perfectly fine for Sims 4 unless you want to Max out the graphics at 2k/4k.

One last bit of insight I just noticed. You will want to dual channel the memory(ram).
This is currently single channel so it will hurt the performance of the computer with graphics being hurt the most.
I really do like the processor here, but there's a few things that keeps this back from being a "you should purchase" and more of a "you could purchase"

Thank you for the insight. If we pull the trigger, I was already thinking I'd throw another stick of 16gb RAM in the open slot later.

Yeah, definitely want to do that earlier rather than later. I personally would advise a matching kit and selling the chip it comes with. Always want matching speeds of RAM. Personally I would maybe even just get 2x8gb. I think 16gb if still plenty for 99% of things

People that are saying "this isn't good for gaming" gotta dial it back cuz you clearly don't know what you're saying, this is a heck of a deal right here specially since gpu prices are spiked up. Look at the benchmarks! Go on YouTube, Google search, etc and look at the amazing performance this APU offers. If you're just getting into the pc market this is a great starter machine and you can improve it down the line with a good ol gpu after the prices go down (and maybe some better ram which should be around 100 bucks if you wanna hold out on the gpu a little longer) I've seen some benchmarks in quite a few games from different people and I can say with confidence you'll be happy with almost any game you can play, forget about just playing the sims and pokemon yellow.
"Good for gaming" is a rather subjective complicated comment/question. It probably will run most modern games on low settings @ 1080p, but I don't consider that "good for gaming". I looked at this [youtube.com] youtube review and it shows reasonable framerates @ 1080p, but doesn't say @ what settings. I have a few of those games and they run decently on high to very high settings with a 1660. They really look like crap in that video to me (I hate using low settings because on games like that it makes look like they're about 10 years old). Trying to dig up benches or whatnot on this APU and best I can tell is that it scores lower than a 1650. I would suggest a 1650s minimum at this point in time for 1080p gaming if you like to play the latest and greatest AAA FPS & action titles. If you're fine with low to medium settings then this might do the trick for a while. And if adventure games, some sims, most MMOs, RTS, etc style games are your thing then this would be perfectly fine as those games are more CPU dependent than GPU. But all of this is besides the point because when some people ask the question about using this for gaming they want to know if they can add a discrete graphics card into this system (several of them have asked that very question in this thread) and these pre-built systems typically aren't very good for that because of the limited power (this one in particular someone on reddit reported that it has a wimpy 180w PSU), limited room, and limited cooling options. Sure, you could limp by on this for a year or so and hope that things will return back to normal with the pricing of things, but to me it just seems like a waste because it's a dead upgrade path if PC gaming is your thing. And yet another thing that somebody else brought up is the smallish size of the only drive in this PC (games are getting freaking huge now). That's not a deal breaker there but still something that a prospective buyer is going to have to spend a bit more on.

I understand it's a 180W unit in this one.

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.
I wouldn't even chance using a 1650. Yes it draws its power from the graphics card PCI express slot, but it's still more demand on the system. You risk frying something, especially with these low grade no name PSUs that OEMs use.

I picked one up today. One weird thing, I don't know whether it's good or bad, is that the motherboard has CPU cooler mounting holes in a square pattern like Intel instead of the rectangle pattern AMD uses. I was going to drop in an AMD Wraith Spire I had and it didn't line up.
Yeah, I bought a OEM HP desktop years ago and every little thing on them is proprietary in one way or another. Remember changing out the motherboard and PSU in it and was a major PITA and this is coming from someone who loves to tinker with things. I was able to get a standard mATX motherboard in there but the standoffs were all in the wrong spots (had to drill and tap a couple of standoffs and break a few off). Getting a standard PSU in there was also fun. Even the wiring connections for the front panel garbage were non standard. And these systems are meant to be somewhat compact so there isn't much cooling (that CPU cooler probably wouldn't do a whole lot for you since the case most likely doesn't have enough airflow to begin with). Like I was saying in an above post, these pre-built systems are a dead upgrade path.

You can get the cpu. And put it into a real motherboard. Your left with a single stick of ddr4 of some unknown brand and 257gb ssd and a useless proprietary motherboard and tower.

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
I was just looking online at microcenter and a 3200G is $130 and unfortunately there doesn't look like there is a motherboard bundle for it. That would be a okay deal if there was a bundle then just keep the microcenter motherboard for this chip (even a cheap $100 motherboard would be worlds better than this one LOL), put the 3200G in there and then profit.

No not at all, you will regret buying it. You need to spend at least a grand now for a 1080p maybe 1440p high to ultra gaming setup. Thank the miners who are skyrocketing the prices.

A possible problem with this plan is that I think B550 chipset that's inside of this HP no longer supports 3200G and 3400G.

Thanks for the advice. I just decided to get a Dell G5 SE Gaming Laptop. I'm done with this whole desktop GPU chase.

There are tons of ports. You can even see 4 usbs just in front + 4 in the back. The description in the post is wrong.

Somebody posted this info: The front has 4 USB-A superspeed ports, and 1 USB-C superspeed. The back has 2 USB-A superspeed & 2 USB-A 2.0 Ports.

I can confirm 2 blue ports at the back.
I take it that superspeed are usb3, which means 6 usb3 and 2 usb2, plus 1 usb-c.
