You could replace the 3060 with a AMD 6600 for ~$130 less though. But still thats ~$560 total w/o OS and since I picked the cheapest options I'd be not the best parts'
I love when people come in to suggest a self-built PC in a pre-built PC deal.
Disclaimer: I'm on a self-built PC, and have only used self-built PC.
You guys are completely ignoring the labor cost/time involved in building a computer and also possible troubleshooting. Also, not everyone is comfortable building a PC however "simple" it is for you.
Besides, even if these PCs use cheap parts, they often perform and last good enough time for an average user.
So please stop suggesting self-built PC as if that's the best option for everyone.

facts,,,we dont all enjoy building pc's i assume its like legos for the advanced tech genius
I hate to go super-nerd on you, but looking at this as an "i5 pc" is absolutely doing it wrong.
For starters, with a gaming PC, the GPU is almost always more important than the CPU (within reason). The i5 included here is a decent match with the RTX 3060, and this is probably about as cheap an RTX 3060 system as you can find right now.
Also, as another poster mentioned, "i5" doesn't necessarily mean anything. All else being equal, an i7 will be faster than an i5, but there are different models within the same gen, and everything gets faster on every subsequent gen. Someone can come in and correct me, but I would bet that every 2 or so generations is equal to about a i3 to i5 or i5 to i7 tier jump.
I really dislike people who says this is a good deal. With 8gb or ram and a paltry 256gb of storage that's only good for OS and a few programs. You will need to upgrade to 16gb and at least a 500gb ssd and at this point just build your own. For $700, you will flat out murder this rebuilt in practically everything especially in gaming with a 6650xt that's $315.

As someone who has built PCs my entire life I would also love for ppl to stfu about their cobbled together pcpartpicker list being cheaper. Building PCs is not for everyone!

Yup... if you're going to suggest this is a gaming PC at least they include parts to emphasize that.
Do most people add a hard drive to these, besides the 256 SSD? 256 seems so damn small, and this would be my home computer with my photos/videos/etc...

Are you in the US? The parts in this HP unit are low end. Now, if you said you didn't want to or couldn't build your own system I'd say go for it at this price. However, you could easily build a 6600XT/Ryzen 5600 build for cheaper than this with brand name parts, 16gb ram, 500gb/1tb SSD.
Could you prove this claim with a list of name brand parts that, all together, with a case, motherboard, WiFi, and power supply cost less than the price in the OP?

Personally I look to PCpartspicker build list just as a reference point for what the included HW parts cost. Knowing what the pieces in a prebuilt costs gives a good indication of how good of a deal you're getting on a prebuilt.
I think if a prebuilt is cheaper than you can buy the HW parts individually then thats a fair measure on a good deal for a prebuilt.
Clearly the whole would isn't inclined or apt to DIY PC builds.

256GB is too small. There is only one NVMe slot on the motherboard. This has a small case that will limit upgrade options. For example only room for one 3.5" hard disk so 2.5" SSD makes more sense for the small case.
The case is 12"D x 13"H x 6"W which leaves little room for a hard disk. Most desktops are much larger.
If you don't need tons of storage the "refurb" 1TB Samsung 870 Evo is a great deal for $65. It is one of the best SATA SSDs you can buy. They are not actually refurb. They are customer returns that were used for about 1 day and can't be sold as new, but are like new with less than 1 TB of writes.

I'm having a very hard time believing you.
FYI in their later post they talked about shopping deals including buying used stuff.

12th gen was a big leap. A 12th gen i5 performs better than an 11th gen i9.

Sorry, but where do you see the HP using the lowest tier 80 Plus PSU? Historically, they at least use 80 Plus Bronze.
The lowest end 3060 has a TDP of 170W and the i5 is 65W. I just don't see 360W total (80% of 450, optimistically) being ideal for this system, especially since the first thing someone will want is a secondary drive.
Concerns like this are why PC Part Picker should be taken with a grain of salt. They have no clue what they're doing when speccing out power supplies.

This is SD, feel free to shop deals yourself. How much is your time worth? If taking an hour or so browsing around the web finding good deals(you're on a deals site so I'd imagine you have some knowledge). Also, this is a PC thread, some posters keep in tune with the market more than others and they don't just say "oh boy a 3060 HP for $650, slickkkk". Prices have come down on parts and buying a 10th gen i5/8gb ram/256ssd prebuilt with crappy parts in 2022 is not a smart move.

So a 10400F which is at best a $100 CPU, outpaced by cheaper CPUs, a $15 ram stick, a $20 SSD, a $45-50 mobo, a $35 PSU, and at BEST a $300 GPU is what you are claiming is a good deal for a buyer? If someone wants to buy this for simplicity sake knowing it's basically unupgradeable, so be it. Others who pay attention want to inform potential buyers that everything on this site isn't a must buy.
