Important Update: Slickdeals user TimR4241 has found this same HP with a 512GB SSD on a Costco deal for $399.99 + $14.99 shipping. Obviously a better deal if you have Costco access. Give him some love in the comments! Link:

https://www.costco.com/hp-victus-...18540.html

HP has the New HP Victus 15L Gaming Desktop TG02-0325m Ryzen 5 5600G (6-Core, 12 Threads 3.9GHz up to 4.4GHz) 8GB DDR4 Radeon RX 6400 4GB GDDR6 256GB NVMe WiFi WIndows 11 Home for $429.99. Shipping is free. Choice of Micro Silver or Ceramic White color at this price.

An entry level gaming desktop with 500W power supply and reasonably good upgrade options.

Upgrades available when ordering to NVIDIA RTX 3050 8GB GDDR6 ($110), NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 ($170), and NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6X ($180). I included these graphics card options here because they seem to be compelling upgrade deals at substantially lower than market prices, even with the adjustment for trading up from the RX 6400.

Windows 11 Home
AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600G (3.9 GHz up to 4.4 GHz , 16 MB L3 cache, 6 cores, 12 threads)

LOL. I had actually come here early but then went down a rabbit hole of cascading side tracks. Facepalm

TBH, I am not crazy about this deal. I liked some of your other deals more (even if they were refurbished). This is not really for gaming: the RX 6400 isn't doing anything here which the iGPU in the CPU couldn't do (except not take away from the system RAM). For productivity use, it's fine, but I would prefer an i5 CPU for that.

Ultimately, it doesn't compare to your recent HP with Ryzen 7 5700G / 32GB DDR4 / Radeon RX 6600XT for $510, Acer with Intel Core i5-12400 for $288 and maybe even the HP with Ryzen 5 5600G / 12GB DDR4 for $319 deals.

I am hoping I am not sounding too negative here. My point is: We've seen better values, from your own deals including. Thumbup
A few things to know for people want to buy this,

(If I am not mistaken and correct me if I am wrong)

The AM4 motherboard only supports 65W CPUs. This means CPU like 5950x, 5900x, 5800x etc will not be supported.

The CPU 5300G, 5600G and 5700G only support PCIe 3.0, not the faster PCIe 4.0, not the fastest PCIe 5.0. This means your GPU or M.2 SSD will be limited to PCIe 3.0 speed, even if they can do the 4.0 or 5.0 speed.

The case, power supply and motherboard are in a HP special form factor. Not ATX, mATX, ITX etc. So, if you want to upgrade one of the three items, you have to upgrade all three at once.

There are only two RAM slots, there is no way to put 4 sticks of DDR4 RAM into this PC. Just two sticks allowed.

The BIOS/UEFI of the motherboard offers very limited features. No typical ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte overclocking features supported.

The case is very small. It's good if you dont have much room but there is no way to fit a 3 fans GPU into this case. You should be able to fit a 2 fans GPU into the case if you remove the metal mash net thing. The default GPU is a one fan only GPU.

I personally think in 2023 December, you should not buy this PC. DIY build one should be a better idea.
But if you dont have time, need one right now and ship fast to your home for whatever reason, then go for it.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, and I agree that this isn't in super duper hot deal territory. However, when someone needs to buy the market may not present anything better at the time in their price range, so sometimes it's nice to know about some of the better prices available.

I'm even flattered that you can rattle off most of the computer deals I've posted in recent months haha

I also agree about the RX 6400; That's why I nudged buyers towards the attractively priced GPU upgrade options in the description.

Anyways, nice to see ya and have a good day.

Oh and let me add this...it's not negativity to give your honest informed opinion. We need more of that in the comments.

Yes but you probably want to upgrade the ram anyways. 8GB is too little.

Fahrenheit or Celsius? if you do a quick google search most of it will show is Celsius,,
Since you are in the USA, you will be in Fahrenheit. 100 F is only 37 C.
If its Fahrenheit with an F next to it, then its normal.
When you just get a new system , it will run many things in the back ground which will cause increase temp.. but its normal. you will see 150 F here and there..

AMD Ryzen 5600G max thermal throttling for R5 5600g is 95°C which is 203 F.
some examples:
IDLE temperatures: Around 40-50°C (104-122 F)
Gaming temperatures: 70-75°C (167 F) while playing, and 80°-85°C (185 F) while loading parts of the game

Yes Fahrenheit. Thank you so much for your insight!

looks like the ram from your link is 1.35 Volts. it may or may not work.
I think you have to look for rams that are 1.2V for better stability.
If you want 16GB kit, then this Crucial kit should work since its 1.2V and is around the same price as the one you were looking at.

Thanks for the post, I bought a model slightly better than this to replace an old desktop for light gaming. This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of price. Cheap enough to pull the trigger to get the upgrade. I should have been more patient.

I found an 8 gig stick of the exact same ram that was in it for $20 on eBay. I got this from Walmart last summer with a 512g ssd for $400. Weird that it has an intel cpu cooler.
Otherwise, it's pretty quiet and if it lasts it's a good deal.

For those wondering what DIMM came with the Costco deal, it was a Samsung 3200 8GB (m378a1g44cb0-cwe). Couldn't find an exact match anywhere online so I just bought whatever had similar specs.https://semiconductor.samsung.com...44cb0-cwe/

There was also 3 extra SATA slots for hard drives, but only two extra power for more 2.5/3.5 harddrives.

EDIT:

i bought the corsair one posted earlier in this thread and it works fine with the samsung in the computer. i see it running at full speed.
