Pretty sure you could outfit this desktop w/ a decent GPU and hit the ground running in some modern games.

As far as the GPU goes, this desktop is only compatible w/ non-power-connector graphics cards from what I gathered:

The PSU should be upgradeable if you're trying to use a GPU that requires more than 300W of power.

By Adobe -- Photoshop? Premiere? After Effects? The former... no problem barring massive layered PSDs. The latter, it might struggle a bit with... especially with just 16 GB of RAM.

You would be limited by the proprietary power supply included in this PC. This series either ships with a 180w, 300w or 400w unit, and this one almost surely ships with 180w, since that is the default config when it doesn't ship with a PSU.

Your option given the proprietary motherboard and PSU are to buy a used 300w or 400w PSU that is compatible, then run something up to around a RTX 5060.

Not ideal. I would probably not recommend this PC to someone who wants to game, as there are quite a few hurdles to overcome before it will become an emtry-level gaming PC.

For office and productivity purposes however, this is a decent PC for a good price. The RAM and SSD alone are worth $200, so you're getting a lot for under $400. It certainly beats some of the junker mini PCs floating around.

Just to add, they took proprietary to another level with this thing: https://community.acer.com/en/dis...or-this-mb

You can't even transplant that monstrosity to a new case.

I think anyone really set on using this system for gaming would be best served with an eGPU dock connected to a PCIe extension.
