This is actually a decent deal. Not sure why HP is underclocking the 8400F from 4.2 to 3.9
I'm almost inclined to get this for a media center and remote gaming in the main tv room

It's surprising how much power the last 10% CPU speed costs in many cases.

HP use their own proprietary motherboards. This PC is for the Walmart crowd, an okay starter PC. You're not going to do much upgrading here except maybe ram or the SSD. At least it's ddr5. I've never had a HP PC breakdown on me though so I'll give them that. Cyberpower MSI are all a little less reliable imo. This might be good for someone who also wants a smaller PC than the bigger ATX PC. I can't tell if this has any RGB lights or not, but some people don't care about RGB lights.
I got this two weeks ago it would fit your bill as well. It also did not use any proprietary parts
Definitely a better PC.
The real answer is dont get either, you are on borrowed time with all these 8gb cards. If you are a budget gamer, try to grab a 9060XT 16gb at retail. Mine scores just over 17000 in time spy, thats where a lot of 5060ti 16gb land.
If I bought this system, Id put up the 7600 for sale ASAP - I just sold a used 2 year old Sapphire Pulse variation for $255. Spend another $100 and get a card that is future proof a bit. Oh, and get another 16gb ram for $30. You will have a very decent 1440 rig at that point.
Based on similar models, it likely uses the B650 chipset and comes with an 80+ Platinum PSU.
For reference, the 8000 series CPUs have half the L3 cache and don't support PCIe 5.0.
