It's a decent deal as long as you understand it's not future proof or upgradeable. I opened up the one I bought for my kid and it oddly has the M.2 drive sticking out past the mother board attached to a clip that was broken. Ended up installing a 2.5" SSD to replace both the spinning disc and m.2 drive that wouldn't stay on.

Here's a picture of the motherboard where you can see the orientation of the m.2 slot pointing down.

Approx. $600 or so. CPU ($150 to $180) and GPU ($260 to $300) alone would cost around $450 retail. Mobo, case, PSU, RAM, SSD and HDD, and everything else would add up to over $150 easy. Keyboard and mouse are like $20?

Is this a decent deal? I bought a gaming pc but I'm starting to realize it's too powerful for the games I play lol. I have a 7700X and 7800XT but mostly play older games.

seems like a decent deal if you don't want to build yourself. Unfortunately I just built mine, choosing for AM5 but would have gotten this otherwise and not messed with the headache of BSOD.

I bought 2 used lenovo pcs and the m2 slot are the same layout. One needed the bracket and the other just screws into the case directly. The brackets are cheap on Ebay.

Would this be something worth a pick up if I wanted to play something like helldivers ?

I am playing Heldivers with reduced settings on an APU box so you should definitely be able to play it on this machine with a dedicated video card.

Yes. You can play that on RTX 3050. This should be more than enough.

A 3060 12gb isn't anything to write home about, especially at its price point. This is configuration is more for productivity work, running blender with cuda, etc. The much cheaper rx6600xt is a better gaming option.
Agreed 3060 may be too slow for serious gamer, but it uses less power than faster GPU.

2x 3060-12GB will beat 1x 4070-12GB for AI because 24GB RAM can run bigger models.

Good estimate for parts. My friends usually forget to add Windows & Labor costs. Wink

+ Windows 11 Home $100 at Microsoft; or $3-40 depending on how legit.

+ Labor is $80 x 2 hours = $160 to build & test; or more to debug any issue.
