Office Depot has a HP Pavilion Desktop with a Ryzen 7 5700G CPU and 16GB of RAM on sale for $549.99 (regular price is $699.99;
beats previous deal posted on April 29th by $70!). Here are the full specifications from HP's website:

I checked online and most Office Depot stores in my area now have it available for same-day in-store pick-up. The stores that had it in stock showed three units in stock per location.

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.

Ahh the good old days when you could pick up a dell 400sc for $299 which was ultra expandible...for example had both IDE AND sata ports which at the time was a big deal.
What I don't get is if you are gonna put it a top of a line cpu why limit the memory to 32gb? Why not already allow for up to 64gb?
The BIOS is extremely limited (you can't manually adjust timings/frequency or anything). However, one workaround is to use Ryzen Master, which will let you apply new RAM settings. Might be worth giving a try.
Since this is AMD though, not sure if that Ryzen Master would allow the same thing or not.
It's the real deal, under display information it shows the full 4k resolution at 59.94 hz. It doesn't look any different than my other desktop with a discrete gpu using display port at the same resolution.
2 x 32GB RAM configuration may work. But HP may not want to advertise or support it for some reason. Or it may indeed not work and be a limit set in BIOS. Do we know for sure that the CPU supports more than 32GB of RAM? I don't see that info on AMD site.

Rep'd. Totally my assumption. Crucial's memory matcher DOES offer 32gb sticks for THIS model. https://www.crucial.com/compatibl...-tp01-2066
Given I have mine from 15+ years ago I'd say I'm ready to upgrade. The point was the expansion potential that server offered.
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.

I would REALLY like you to be right....however I don't think you are based on a previous poster saying this has hdmi v1.2 and the information on the web page below which states:
HDMI Versions
There are multiple versions of the HDMI standard, which include:
1.0 - 1.2a: The very first iteration of HDMI was made available in 2001, and it had a bandwidth of 3.96 Gbps. This allowed 1080p video feeds to be transmitted at 60 Hz. Version 1.1 maintained the same specifications but with the added support of DVD Audio. HDMI 1.2 and 1.2a added support for One Bit Audio and fully specified Consumer Electronic Control(CEC).
