Good:
* Components don't generate a lot of heat, so despite having a crap case, it didn't get very loud.
* It's pretty cheap. If you sign up for an employee account and then use perks at work dot com, you can get 10% back plus the employee discount. That will get you around the $850 range, which means you're getting the GPU for around MSRP (and Windows for free). There's another big cash back site offering 8% right now too.
Bad
* Proprietary mobo, PSU, and case. If either break, you'll just need to replace all three, which could be expensive.
* Only two RAM slots and 1 SSD slot. You'll have to ditch the included stuff to upgrade. You could put the 256gb in a NVMe to PCIe 1x adapter, although it would be slower.
* No XMP support. This only accepts JEDEC timings, so make sure to get native JEDEC 3200 sticks. Otherwise Ryzen Master might work.
* Limited BIOS. You can only overclock in Ryzen Master. In fact, HP probably lowers the PPU below AMD spec so your chip might run slightly slower.

Good Deal?
8gb is like nothing.
I'm not saying this is a terrible deal, but most gamers will have to upgrade these two immediately. My 10 year old gaming pc has better specs. Simply not worth it with longevity in mind.

you can add a sata ssd for more storage without ripping anything out. sure, that won't take advantage of directstorage, but that is yet to come (and game devs will have to actually incorporate them).
8gb ram will get you up and running for games. sure, 16gb is the sweet spot, and you might be able to find a good deal either on craigslist or retailers (open box is usually fine on ram). even prices on new memory sticks have come down quite a bit.

Good Deal?
so if you need it now, and this pc meets your needs, then it's a good starting point. as coolkev99 mentioned, you might want to consider upgrading storage and memory over time (if the current amounts don't meet your needs).
i do recommend the 3060 Ti (over the regular 3060)
1. This is cheap, but a terrible system.
2. Oxygen isn't free. If you meant air, then that's a ridiculous analogy.
3. You're not very smart.
