Don't buy this if you plan on upgrading the GPU. The motherboard has proprietary connections, so you can't upgrade the PSU and will always be held back by wattage.

You can get a power supply adapter on Amazon for a few bucks to use any ATX power supply with the motherboard. And if it's a lower power GPU, you can get a couple of SATA to PCIe power adapters.

Would this be a noticeable upgrade to a Dell Precision 3630 with:

Intel Core i7 6 Core (i7-8700) 3.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 (2 GB)

The CPU new instruction sets alone. That CPU can do stuff your old one can't process.

The CPU and the graphics, yes. But the RAM will be lacking. Also keep in mind the smallish SSD here. If you can reuse the RAM from your old system, it may be worth it.

Someone snuck in and TU'd my sassy comments on another thread without commenting. Would you know anything about that? Ha

CPU Mark scores are substantially better on the 5600G at 19.9K versus the i7-8700 at 12.9K. That alone should make a noticeably faster PC, especially when multitasking. Plus all the accoutrements that come with several years of tech improvements to USB, motherboard design, wifi, etc. I would expect similar improvement with graphics performance, even though this HP admittedly has a low end GPU by today's standards. The gaming community has made even the cheapest modern graphics pretty darn good compared to a few years ago.

Another thought...if you're running 32GB of RAM, you could and maybe should consider taking advantage of the 5600G's onboard graphics, which are quite respectable for the non-gaming user, and sell the RX 6400 on eBay ($130 or so) to recoup some of your initial investment. Of course I'd make sure that's possible with this motherboard before considering it an option.

Not guilty. I use the old version of the forum which doesn't provide access to post ratings. I can see those when I am not logged in (which displays the new forum look), but I don't use it.

Maybe it's a good thing because I would be TDing incessantly. I am a tough grader. Big Grin

I do most gaming on consoles. I recently offloaded Plex/Sonarr/SABNzbd off to a Beelink N100, so it's mostly just used for Rocksmith, Youtube and remoting into my work PC when needed.

The Precision 3630 just arrived today from Dell Refurbished posted here the other day, but sounds like it might be worth the $60 upcharge to go with the Costco deal (with maybe another $60 in the future to bring the RAM up).

Edit: Scratch that, looks like Dell Refurb has a restocking fee and doesn't cover shipping. Guess I will stick it out.

Oh I thought it was a desktop you've had for a while and were considering replacing. Looks to be a mid 2018 model or thereabouts, this Victus looks to be early 2022. But I don't knock on 5 year old Dells; they're workhorses.
