Sure, but you don't have these products TODAY. You're not considering there's at least a month or more of time decay on this.
After eBay fees (13% listing + payment process) and shipping of each item ($20 GPU, $10 for CPU - both insured and signature, unless you want to get scammed), you're right that these two items would "pay" for the computer.
But you're left with what? $100-120ish for each unit, made up of proprietary HP garbage parts.
You guys do you. But for me, making maybe $200 or so after a month's time, is not worth it. Let alone the hassle of dealing with parting this all out, the eBay fraud/scammers, and time investment, it's just not worth it - to me. But you do you.
For those that need a system and will use this, it's a solid offering for that person and a buddy, family member, friend, etc.
Oh yeah....I got it down to $847.00 for each PC if I kept the Ryzen 3 5300G APU ($100 less). That's with the discount code and my Working advantage Work discount! I just chose the Ryzen 5, because it seems like a better APU for gaming.
1685 total for me. After taxes n everything. I used my education account which seems to have helped the same way the working advantage does. Says it'll ship July 1st, but I've heard HP is prone to pushing back those dates.

Yeah...HP is def hit or miss with shipping dates (the date basically means nothing to them....LOL). The way I look at it, it's worth the wait for me, because the APU and GPU are as close to msrp as it gets right now. Plus the Ryzen 5 5600G with a 3060 will be a very good combo in a custom build!

The two 4gb ram is such a waste. Id rather they do 1 stick of 8gb. Adding another 100 for 16gb doesnt seem worth it. Besides that... it seems like a good deal in this gpu market.

Ryzen 5600G, $259, with a dedicated graphics card is a waste.
Still waiting they release the APU in August to finish my new HTPC/NAS build.

Did you upgrade CPU? I have edu account but can't get price that low.
Thanks for the discounts but why would u buy a apu with gpu? To sell the gpu and keep the computer with apu? Lol
the new APU could potentially be a cost cutting move where they can reduce the product stack for SIs (and hopefully eventually to consumers) who can choose to either sell a system with just the APU or along with a GPU. assuming adding the integrated graphics doesn't cost that much for AMD, they'll have economy of scale by just selling 5600G instead of also introducing 5600 without igpu. or maybe they'll later release a 5600 for cheaper than this 5600G, who knows. speculative, of course.
by keeping it simple, AMD can compete with Intel on both everyday desktops (think i5 desktops without dgpu) or gaming desktops like this one.
having an apu can help if you need to troubleshoot/RMA your gpu. intel has always had cpus with integrated graphics. AMD is basically doing the same, but their integrated graphics tend to be better.
Was hoping HP would cycle that omen 3090 for ~$2650 deal again. It popped up 2 or 3 times a few months ago, but haven't seen it again. With the 3080ti and a few other refresh cards coming out I would hope these original 3000 line would drop a little in price but with the supply/demand issues, not likely. This seems like a solid build though and a decent price (for 2), esp given the scarcity of the cards. Thanks for posting.
These are the original 3060s right, not the "light hash" editions with hardware blocks?
