Aren't these really old components
Agreed. It's been an awsome budget card. It's been good to me at 1080p. This seems like a decent deal for someone that doesn't have interest in building their own pc.
Getting rid of old stock. They had RGB blinged it out to convince you enough and nice enough to give you a 600w gold unit. The 3100 4c/8t is decent and overall great for anyone that doesn't have a PC.

If you were to DIY, you get way more performance with the RX 6600 and get a free copy of Starfield. Skip the 4100 and look for a 5500 deal that was $80 not too long ago or find a used 3600.

You could go with this refurbished prebuilt. It has a 2 year warranty through Allstate, free shipping, and is $800 after you apply the coupon. i7-12700 with a 3070.

Why spend 500 dollars on a pc that's on the fringe of being obsolete , if you can afford 500 now then save up and buy something better.

Quote from vapor916 :
I would grab one of these and call it a day. The HP is a decent but you lose half of the SSD, RAM and weaker GPU and $157 more for the 10400 is simply not worth it. The 1660 Super is about 20% better than the 6500XT. Although, you do get a better CPU in the HP. On the AM4 platform, you have options to upgrade the Ryzen 3 3100 to a 5600/X, 5700X, 5600X3D(MicroCenter), 5800X3D if you need extra CPU power down the line. And with the updated CPU, along with a 600w PSU, if you need more FPS and play at 1440p/4K, I recommend a RX 6700XT/6750XT 12GB or possibly a RX 6800 16GB since both use similar power or next gen RX/RTX. Grab the Skytech Blaze 3 if you want the best/most performance of the 3.
Thanks! Unfortunately the Blaze 2 and Blaze 3 look like they are out of stock...

Anyone have suggestions for other systems to look at for ~$750?

Is this a 100% new build? What OS did you go with, and at what cost?

Last I knew, you can use windows 10 for free without registration and personalization options, but have to deal with a watermark. Otherwise, last I purchased windows keys they were about $10.

3 years from initial announcement.
This particular sku, yes April of 2020 but it was the bottom of the product stack and MSRP was $99 then.

The 3000 series released just over 4 years ago. Imo, even with other parts considered, this is too much for such an old computer with low end parts even for then

1660S is still a pretty good card for 1080p but I would swap it out for a 3060 maybe a year down the line

Paid about $700 and built mine with a 3060 16gb ram ryzen 5 - this is trash. Lol

No, but I don't have the time to build one for her and the price difference between pcs with and without a gpu aren't all that great. She's not going to use for much more than storing photos and basic Microsoft office needs and if any of the grandkids use it for playing something having a dedicated card will come on handy.
