Member only price, no coupon required.
Small case, but a pretty good deal even with GPU prices coming down.
Note the description for outputs is for the motherboard, this should have 3 Display ports and an HDMI out of graphics card.
This is not an extreme gaming computer but it should run most games on High at 1440p.

Don't forget that this build includes a Windows license, 80Plus Platinum PSU, and an OEM SKU (likely Samsung Evo) NVMe drive, plus Bluetooth and WiFi 6.
Any comparable DIY build with a $40 PSU is going to be a low tier 80Plus Bronze and the "$40 SSD" is SATA or a low tier NVMe. BT and WiFi 6 might require an extra card on a sub-$100 motherboard.
A lot of DIYers on SD really overlook power supply efficiency in their builds. I'm not sure if it's lack of experience or that they simply don't have to pay their own electric bills, so an inefficient 1000W PSU is no big deal to them.
500W @ 92% efficiency versus 600W @ 80% efficiency is pretty substantial if you use your system a lot. It also helps with thermals.

I think it's actually pretty hard to build for this price right now, unless you really skimp on components and don't include the operating system.

HP uses proprietary PSUs and have issues with thermals. I'd avoid the headache.
Appreciate the input!
edit: ordered! 90 day return policy in case something during BF is more enticing.

It's a prebuilt for under 1k. Why would you expect a full ATX board?
Upgrading the NVMe to 1TB only costs $100 these days.
Or you can simply offload games to the hard drive and move them back on the NVMe when you actually play them.
I have not taken it to OR but it seems to be decent. The internals are a bit cramped but I didn't hear any screaming of fans or see the GPU or CPU temps go high on whatever games they were playing. Nor did I feel like it was burning hot around the case.
Adding an additional fan inside would require a duct taping solution from what I recall. It will also take a better, short fan as well for CPU but I don't recall there being enough space for liquid cooling.

I saw this for $950 on Monday and tried to build it myself and was struggling.
Saw yesterday that it dropped and bought it.
I bought this PC instead as a form of console replacement.
