Looking at the specs I have a couple questions...
Is 400W PSU enough? Seems really low for a decent gpu.
I see only 1 HDMI with 3 display ports. Guess you'd need to get a hdmi/dvi converter if necessary?
Couldn't help but laugh at Included software: Netflix.
Edit: rip

Damn I think I'm gonna give up this quest shopping for a gaming computer. 🤕
1. This 400w PSU is rated GOLD instead of platinum. That's too bad, because the 400w platinum in the previous HP SFF I ordered (same chassis as this one, just with a 1650 Super and a Ryzen 3600) was an excellent power supply. I don't recommend this, but I was able to run a 3070 on it with zero issues. Don't do that with this one. I wouldn't run anything beyond the 3060 it ships with.
2. The stock Intel CPU cooler with the 5700G is TWICE as thick as the one that shipped with my previous 3600 model. That's a good thing, because that thinner one was insufficient to even properly cool the 3600.
3. The SSDs shipping with these little HPs are good SSDs. My previous one had a WD. This one came with an SK Hynix. Both fast NVME drives.
4. 2x8GB DDR4 is a nice touch.
5. Add an 80mm fan to the front side panel. It has holes for it. You will likely need a splitter to go off the same header as the exhaust fan. It's worth it and will help temps for both your CPU and GPU.
6. HP's custom 3060 is an impressive card. Even with only a single fan, thermals are decent and performance is on par with an EVGA. HP even had the taste to make it with a black PCB. The included fan cools it well, and it's quiet.
This is really a killer deal for what you get. This would be a fairly good price in a normal market, in my opinion.

It's the RTX 3060 the new model with LHR , or is it none LHR
