Ship date end of March, dang
I took a quick look at eBay and 1080 (non-Ti) cards in working condition are still usually selling for $500. Local sale prices (for cash) would probably be more like $400. So, if you assume the high end value for the 1080, that makes the rest of the PC $350

A 6700K sells for at least $100-150... and that is just the CPU by itself with no cooler or anything. For used RAM and PSU, I'd say $50 each. Used small SSD, only $25 b/c really this is only for Windows OS/boot drive and you'll need to buy another SSD to actually install games. Cooler I consider a freebie on a completed system. Who knows when the AIO may fail. Air tower coolers are more reliable long-term IME (I have one over 10 years old still running with the original fan).

I know a lot of other replies here say that the total value should be $500 but that is too low unless they are all finding used 1080s for cheaper than what I'm seeing. I'd say a 1080 by itself in working condition is worth $400-500.

Personally ... I'd estimate the total value at $750 if you assume the 1080 is worth $500. Or $650 if you assume the 1080 is $400.

BUT - That assumes you are okay with buying an older PC. That RAM is almost 2 generations old at this point and the CPU is pretty long in the tooth. Over time, you'll be spending more money on electricity due to the inefficiency of the CPU not to mention you'll probably peg the CPU easily depending on what you are doing.

If it were me personally... I'd rather buy a used 1080 for a full $500 and buy a brand new CPU and do a fresh build. Or for that matter, just swallow $800 and get a 3060Ti from a scalper if $500 for a 1080 is your reference point. The 3060Ti is noticeably more powerful than a 1080, can do Ray Tracing, and also far more energy efficient as well. With an AMD CPU, you can run a 3060 Ti on a 500W PSU no problem. I'm running dual GPUs on a 600W PSU this very moment and I've never even pulled 500W from the wall even during a stress test.
I'm still waiting on my HP envy desktop that I ordered on Dec 1 and was supposed to ship out Dec 22, now revised to Jan 4 shipping. I am not sure if that's gonna happen.Mad

I ordered an Omen machine on Dec 11, estimated ship date on Dec 31. That date came and passed with no update from HP. I tried their online chat. It said they were too busy. Then called their sales support that was supposed to be open 7 days a week. It said they were closed and to call back when they're open. Unacceptable. Called Amex and disputed charges. Sent message to HP and cancelled the order. Bought a similar spec Acer from Amazon. Delivered this evening after 2 days.

Despite requesting the HP machine be cancelled twice, guess what showed up at my door today?

Does that mean you get a free PC all paid for by HP.com?

The only way you can build a 1080p med settings gaming PC now is to get a GPU that's faster than GTX 1650 Super / RX 5500XT / RX 6500XT at MSRP.

It's still very hard to get a GPU at MSRP. I have been waiting for the whole mining thing to crash and kick a lot of people out of mining but it hasn't happened yet.

If you get a GPU, then you can start buying these AMD AM4 Ryzen Zen 3 CPUs / Intel 12th gen i5 or i3, DDR4 RAM, motherboard, SSD/HDD, Power Supply + PC Case.

Once you build everything on your own, you learn a good lesson on how computer works. And you can fix/replace broken part(s) or reinstall windows 10/11 by yourself in the future. It will take about 8 hours to know the basics but that's about it. It's easy, a 13 yr old kid can do it. There are a lot of videos on youtube for free that show you every step to build your own pc.

Unfortunately not. Amex accepted HP's 'proof'' that they provided the goods I ordered regardless of whether the order was cancelled weeks ago. They recharged me the initial amount of the order. I just got off the phone with Amex getting the dispute in place again.

The moral of the story is: NEVER order from HP. They are a dumpster fire of a company with little in the way of customer service.

Can't you just return it, or do they charge a restocking fee?

Without a very detailed paper trail, I'm not returning anything. Yes, they charge a restocking fee. They have since told me that they wouldn't charge it, but they also told me they sent a return label that I have not seen. I would not trust ever.

That's a bad idea.
Not that it can't be done.
It's just not the best performance and lowest dollar spent method.

https://slickdeals.net/f/15599113-dell-inspiron-desktop-i7-10700-4gb-gtx-1650-super-12gb-512gb-ssd-700-or-less-free-s-h-at-dell-less-w-sd-cashback?v=1&src=SiteSearch

i7-10700 is a 8Cores16Threads CPU. I know we are at 12 gen now but 10th gen i7 still got the job done.
GTX 1650 Super 4GB cant mine ETH, slower FPS when play video games.
This deal only costs you about 700, which is $60 more than this HP $640 deal.
12GB isn't as good as 16GB but it can do.
512GB SSD is better than 256 GB SSD, so you have storage place to work on your tiny video projects.

Best of all, if you have amex, then this deal is really just $580. cheaper than HP.
My $0.02 is do it for the money.

I was interested about this deal.

https://slickdeals.net/f/15625744-dell-inspiron-3891-desktop-i7-10700-12gb-ddr4-512gb-nvme-gtx-1650-super-4gb-686-sd-cashback-free-s-h?src=SiteSearch

Cheaper with Amex 120 back. However GTX 1650 kills the deal for me.

Finally got my refund from HP yesterday. What an ordeal. Do yourself a favor. Never order from HP.
