If you are building a bang for the buck gaming rig around say a 5600x and a decent graphics card, with no need for PCIE 4.0 or overclocking, this board is certainly capable.
Also a good board if you are making something temporary to make it through the supply issues, paired with something like a 5700g.
You need something so your ten year old to play fortnite on low settings, you could slap something together with name brand components for like $600, easy.

It just seems to me it would make more sense to buy the Walmart I5 for $249. Then use a video card you already have. You can buy a new power supply for it on E-Bay for around $80.
Or just wait for the Dell Gaming to go on sale for around $600.
That was not available but I did get the Ryzen 3 for $199. I could do the same thing to upgrade it.
Seems to me big advances are happening with CPU's so later buy another cheap Desktop.
These are apples to oranges. Prebuilts and DIYs are for two completely separate classes of buyers. </p><p>I presume you are speaking about this deal</p><p>https://slickdeals.net/f/15244018-ymmv-walmart-hp-pavilion-tp01-1023w-i5-10400-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-249-some-stores-100?src=catpagev2</p><p>The 10400 is a good value, but the 5600x is slightly better. Higher lows, higher average FPS, although that is not in a noticeable range. </p><p>And then you add in a knock off brand mobo, ram, cooler and SSD, I personally would be hesistant about using them. Last resort only. And I don't think 8gb of ram is realistic, nor just 256gb in storage.</p><p>I would never use that case. Absolutely no airflow and a veritable oven inside, putting my parts and performance at risk</p><p>I would never use a knock off PSU, as thay puts my GPU at risk. Plenty of good units available at reasonable prices. I like the EVGA B stock for value PSUs. </p><p>The Walmart deal is good value for the extreme budget buyer, but I think a better buy is a DIY at ~$600 with a faster processor, double the ram, double the storage, and great cooling, all while using name brand parts with reliable warranties.
Rebates come from the mfr, Microcenter, Amazon, Frys, B&H, Superbiiz (RIP) all offer them - Amazon just doesn't post many forms so you'd never know it (but you're missing out).
if you can't fill out your name and address, follow simple English directions and make a copy then pay the full price elsewhere

Is newegg the only one that still has rebate deals? MIR's shouldn't exist today.

This is a hell of a deal for a budget build...even with $7 shipping.

I have no problem with the price or budget boards in general but this is essentially the most entry level board with a TUF plastic cover
