The only components you'll have hard time to use in a different aftermarket chassis, are the motherboard and PSU. In HP's budget desktop segments, consisting of this Envy Desktop (less gamery look) and Pavilion gaming desktop, hp uses proprietary form factor motherboard and PSU, tailor made for those chassis whereas their OMEN 25L and 30L use complete standard components.
You can still fit that motherboard and PSU to s third party case but it's not going to be as easy as with standard components. I've linked the exact motherboard HP is using in this desktop. Check those details if you plan to use the motherboard as well, to a different chassis
I recently pulled a trigger on Dell XPS with Nvidia RTS 2060 Super. This HP (as well as another recent deal from Costco) has Nvidia RTX 3060.
Passmark says there is not that much of a difference between two cards [videocardbenchmark.net].
Assuming $70 higher price tag for HP just goes toward the 1TB larger HDD and comparing only video options - should I have waited and went with this HP with 3060 instead of Dell with 2060 Super?

Both also seem to have 1 rear case fan so seem like they both run hot.
HP review mentioned that as well.
This HP has a side grill.
The Dell has a slim DVD drive.

Mobo is really crippled. No AX card. Only two dram slots!
I assume all 3060s are 4X16??????
Buying this for the 3060 for another build is a losing situation.
3060 = $400 inflated dollars
CPU = $350
Generic HP RAM
But if this is the only computer you can afford and need to play games it may be just fine.

HP does sell this exact model in their website where you can customize some of the components like CPU, Ram, Storage, PSU and GPU and on that, they even offer 32GB option.

Verdict: the Dell XPS with 2060 Super can run current games just as good as a new gen console.... That's the gold standard for me- your experience may be different 👍👍👍
You can see a teardown here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4y64Zc
Pretty sure people are running HPs for well past their obsolescence date and have been since the 90s.
You people act like you use the same gaming pc for 50 years without ever upgrading parts.
