Great graphics card at this price.

I would rather pay $200-$300 more to get a more powerful "gaming" machine with a 4th generation video card.

See my spreadsheet.

So what computer am I looking at? Just a generic landing page. Is it the Victus by HP 15L Gaming Desktop TG02-1000, gpu swapped to 3050?

That aside, I'd say not worth it. 3050 is garbage. Minimal gains, on average, over a 1070, a GPU released 7.5 years ago and what I'm currently gaming on daily. Better off upgrading to the 500W PSU and going with the 4060. Or looking for another deal with a 4060.

If you do decide to get this system with the 3050, at least upgrade the PSU to 500W for $25. 350W will severely limit your upgrade path...

Thank you. I stopped updating it because I already bought a computer but the spreadsheet can provide a good template (the top few rows) for someone else to do their own research.
