This looks like the sweet spot for an entry level PC, RTX 3060 is still a solid card with 12GB VRAM and the 12 gen Intel has no microcode issues, 16GB is good baseline for Win11... All in all not bad, nice find.

Good price for the specs, but proprietary parts so you wont be able to upgrade much https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gvkCuoyCb6E

Do people often buy 2-3 gen old hardware with future upgrades in mind? Genuinely asking as this is something I've heard as common place

It's a good value for 1080p gaming at mid-specs. The Vram is kind of underperforming for the 3060 sadly. But it's still good for a value gaming and can most likely be upgraded in the future.

Hmm...been looking to get a budget gaming PC in order to play all the free Amzon Prime games I have collected, along with some cheap Humble Bundle and Steam games.

Was orginally gonna get a refurbished i5 12400 HP Victus 15L, add 32G of Ram and an Intel Arc B580 (if anyone actually has stock in at MSRP long enough to actually grab one), all in would be $650.

But this could fit my needs at $590.

Realize both would be pretty DOA on upgrades being AM4 based and small chasis that barely fit GFXs cards or cooling options.

Still leaninig toward Victus...

Agreed. I've been wanting a newer system but I was wanting to skip the 13th or 14th generation chips. The price is great for what it is.

Yeah, I was going to pop in a more powerful graphics card and due to the constraints of that case, this is not a system for me.

I'm grateful for you sharing the video because I would not have anticipated the case to be that limiting. I won't be able to use the system.

I have this, I bought an open box at microcenter for $550.

Its a decent system. I didn't want to build at the time. I just wanted something decent and low cost. It runs well. The 3060 12gb is a huge upgrade over my old 1050ti.

12th gen, 16gb, 512ssd plus extra 1tb HDD. Its all good.

Only downside is the faster USB 3.0 ports are on the front of the case. So I have a diagonal USB cord for my external hard drive.

The rear ports are 2.0 for your keyboard, mouse, DAC, etc.
