He says adding a second stick of ram ( thereby enabling dual channel ) gives it a decent performance boost.

The 5700g is $300. (Right now on PC PartPicker. Likely to get cheaper due to Intel Alderlake price to performance. Especially after Zen 3d parts come out in a couple months.)
You can build the rest of the system for less than $269 using higher quality parts.
Plus according to HP's website this is a single stick of ram, so you would have to replace that day 1 anyway, so add $60 minimum to the cost. (Even in my Omen GAMING Laptop, the memory timings from HP were bad. But at least it was dual channel.)
And if you are doing anything other than browsing the web a 256G ssd isn't going to be enough. At minimum add a 500G SSD or a larger Spinning disk for another $50.
I might find this tempting at $500 w/ 2x8G Ram and at least 500G of storage. Something that didn't need immediate upgrades. $450 tops as configured. But I would have to actually need a PC RIGHT NOW to justify it. The case/powersupply/motherboard are proprietary landfill quality components. The BIOS is completely locked down limited to only the CPUs HP sells on that motherboard. It has to be cheap enough that the RAM, CPU and Storage justify the cost because nothing else is upgradable.
Wally world still has the Pavilion Gaming tower with a 400Watt powersupply, a 5600G and a rx5500 4G OEM GPU for $629 with dual channel DDR4 3200. That 400Watt powersupply is really the gold medal winner in the Gaming tower. You can only get them from HP and they are going to charge you a kidney for them if bought separately. It's enough to allow an upgrade to a 3060 class GPU. So while still not great, it does allow some room to grow. Just don't plan on putting a 4000 series flagship card from Nvidia into it.

Brickseek doesn't show it even at my store, but I saw it when I went shopping yesterday.
From Brickseek:
HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop, AMD Ryzen 5-5600G, AMD Radeon RX 5500, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Black, Windows 10, TG01-2003w
MSRP: $629.00
SKU: 811088984
UPC: 195908286103
Plus I have seen some where the part number was different and they had a sticker over a1650 labeling with the rx5500 on the outside of the box from HP. Everything else was the same.
32GB of DDR4 Ram ~$100: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32...klink=true
PSU $35
Budget Cast ~$30-$40
512GB NVME SSD - $50
A520 motherboard with HDMI 2.1 $50: https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-A52...OTHERBOAR
So about $550.

Just saw they both have just 256gb ssd which is sad. That's not good for anything these days. If all you want is Minecraft and fortnight I don't think any of it really matters as you are going to be fine either way.
