Future proof is like a unicorn. It doesn't exist!

Back in the 1980s I bought my first computer. Ted wait, the president of gateway computers back then said he couldn't think of a reason why anyone would need larger than 100 MB hard drive. Yes megabyte. I thought I would future proof and spend the extra $ to get 125 MB. That also was a 32 bit machine. And it had both the 3 1/2 inch and 5 1/4 inch floppy drives. USB nor optical drives existed. And then there's my dotmatrix printer that ran off of a parallel port… Which no longer exists on current PCs. This set up cost me about $2000 Back then.

I'm going to say yes and no. You'd want to add another 8GB stick of ram, upgrade to a way better gpu(minimum a RTX 3080 or equivalent for 4k), and get a better 800w Gold Rated Power Supply(Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA, SuperFlower). I also remember this case getting bad airflow/thermals and being called a "microwave." I'll even consider getting a 5600x or better CPU if the motherboard supports it. At that point you have almost replaced 90% of the parts in this pc. I recommend this for people who would be happy at high settings 1080p. Slap an extra 8GB stick of ram and a Vetroo V5(it's always recommended for this case, regardless of CPU).

Thank you. Seems like a great deal for an solid entry to gaming. Just add some more memory and it should play most games at a decent FPS.

Then he'd have to pay for a new processor and lookup how to update bios and replace it. Kinda annoying and not something someone wants to do right when they buy a prebuilt
At least you'll be good for a few yrs with a new gpu.

I know this question is not directly on topic. However, I just purchased this computer for $700 https://www.costco.com/hp-pavilio...41386.html For 300 more would this be a worth the upgrade. https://www.costco.com/hp-envy-de...41388.html

I don't buy desktops often and want something future proof. Thanks

This has no GPU, just Intel graphics.

I just tried to build this on PC part picker and I can't build it out for under a grand... Half the cost is the processor+MB and the other is the GPU... This is a solid deal

Quote from WiseLeopard609 :
The components are 3 years old. Even has a VGA port so you can plug in your 10 year old CRT.

Better to wait until Black Friday, spend $700 or so and get a machine that will last. With the crypto crash/merge and end of COVID, there are going to be real deals.
This comment is absolute nonsense. As others stated ; this is a great deal for entry level gaming at 1080p. You can always upgrade various components as your needs change.

Crypto crash and end of covid prices have already happened. Plus to judge something based on a port it offers is idiotic.

Id say no simply because you'd need to upgrade nearly everything to support 4k. As you pointed out a much beefier GPU, a slightly better CPU, more memory, a bigger storage drive, and of course a power supply that can handle it all. You add those to the fact that these parts need much more cooling than this case can handle and boom, basically a new computer.

I'm looking to get a desktop but I currently still have the Lenovo Y70 that I bought in 2017. Would this be something better than the Y70? Or just as good?

It would be perfect. My son is playing on my old amd fx series cpu and aftermarket gpu that's over 10yrs old. He has no complaints. Lol

This is a solid deal, just 4-5 months ago component prices were thru the roof and you wouldn't dream of getting a prebuilt with a video card at this price.
