The RAM they put in there is gone / discontinued so if you want to upgrade the RAM you're not going to be able to add you will have to replace all of it. There are 2 open slots - I reached out to the company that makes it and they gave me a 3 page explanation on what to do in order to add two more sticks.. It's easier just to replace it all.
There is an extra m.2 slot sort of under the graphics card but accessible.
Mine had a s570 Wd nvme in it. I assume they all do.
It looks great. I'm a pretty casual gamer so I have no idea about frames or any of that.
I will say the 6650xt is damn near the top of the performance to cost chart which I really really like.

Also mine shipped with bad drivers for the 6650xt so it was deactivated when I turned it on the first time. Super easy fix just go to amds website and set up the right driver but it was a little odd.

It's a phat pc. Very wide and short. I like it.
The RGB fans are huge and gorgeous and the CPU fan has a very nice style to it.

Keep in mind that this is false for any software that is properly multithreaded.
The "3D" cache will often go unused and you simply end up with a lower clocked 5600.
Just something to consider based on the games you play and the other applications you plan to run.

Probabaly can get lenovo $610 before tax combing discount and giftcard. But it's refurbished and power only has 500w. Lenovo has extra 1tb HDD though, and ironically it has 2 yrs warranty vs the PowerSpec one only has 1 year.

And that list doesn't even include the Windows license and each part is warrantied separately when you DIY, so this pre-built is probably a better value for that reason alone.
Edit: It also comes with a keyboard and mouse, so you'd have to factor in that cost as well.
Also the 650w PSU, 500GB SSD, high latency DDR4, micro-atx case are all not exactly upgrade friendly. They are cheap parts that are worthless if you ever want to upgrade or rebuild.

do you guys not sell your old hardware to offset the costs of new hardware??
