I have had an Amazon rebuild for about a year and so far so good, it even works with windows 11 with no issues. This one seem good for the price if you're into more modern gaming but lack the budget for it.
I just bought 2 of these last month from a nice guy off FBM. I needed good Media computers and so far they are great.. HP Prodesk G2 600 (i5-6500, 8gb Samsung DDR4-2133, 250gb SSD) all for the high price of.. $100 each. For a $100 you simply can't go wrong, granted the price was good on average I see these in same spec average around $150-180, but even then I would suggest them. HP built these really well and they feel like quality unlike the Optiplex by Dell. You can put a i7-6600 in them as well and Ram can go up to 64gb-2133. PSU is rated at 280w so 1050Ti is no issue. I put a EVGA 1070 in one as a joke.. well jokes on me because it handled it really well. Note if you put another PSU in these you will need an adapter plug for that proprietary 4 pin plug HP uses. Good luck and if you're thinking of getting one go for it. I have a full water cooled ITX build and these little HP's are smaller than that (case is like 13x13x6.5") very small and fit anywhere.

nah an old v3 xeon would be the play tbh 6-8 cores for $60 and you can reuse the ddr4, would need a new motherboard but x99 boards are cheap these days
@@EXITLIGHT_ENTERNIGHT i mean if you're content with 4 cores/8 threads. I would say in 2023 6 core minimum, 8 core preferred. an i7-5960x is $60 on ebay, a completely unlocked 8-core i7 that basically keeps pace with a ryzen 7 5800x, its a no brainer....
Also you guys didn't go through the reviews. One review says there's was an i5-4th gen and the website description states ddr3. So it seems either they mix it up or they beefed it up for toasty bros
Great video guys. Those locked 4th and 6th gen i5's suffer from a low all core turbo, only 3.3Ghz in this case. I'm just doing the benchmarking video for an i5-4690k and being overclocked to 4.5Ghz really helps, however finding a unlocked i5 with a decent motherboard is very rare.
I screwed up not buying the unlocked version of my 4590 i5. But making $9 an hour working for Walmart in 2015 I really didn't have the extra cash to throw at it.
@@mrnapolean1 Not necessary, unless you get lucky it can cost a lot more to get an unlocked i5. Not only is the unlocked i5 more expensive, to make the most of it you need a Z series motherboard and decent cooling to allow an overclock without the temps being too high. The motherboards are normally the really expensive part because overtime the motherboard is more likely to die rather than the CPU so CPUs are plentiful on the 2nd hand market while the Z series motherboard are rare and can be expensive. At the end of the day you have a PC and can game :)
In 2018 I bought an hp pro desk for $80 had a i7 4790 in it. Bought a 970 and 16gb of ram for $150. It had a proprietary power supply so I had to use a dell DA-2 power brick and split the 8 pin to dual 6+2. Got me through the pandemic now I’m rocking 5600x and a750 :)

i payed $150 for a optiplex with a i-5 6500, 16 gigs of ram, and a 256 gig ssd. i put a 1 tb m.2 in, and a rx 6400 and the cpu is definatly the bottleneck.
@@daytimerocker3808 according to pcbuilds it's only 10.2% GPU bottleneck in graphic intensive applications. Don't remember what it is in general tasks. Just Google the parts and type bottleneck calculator.
I bought an HP pre-built back in early 2018 for $300. It was an actual HP model in the box factory sealed. It had an i5-7400/1060 3gb w/4+4gb ddr4 2400 and a 1tb 7200rpm hdd. I got a 256gb ssd boot drive for around $80 (easily get 1tb for that in 2023 lol). I'm still using it to this day. I wanted to do a new build a few years ago. Crypto put a stop to that so I was lucky enough to snag a PS5 in early 2021. My HP is still great for older games and has gotten me into PC gaming in general. I hope to do a new build later this year. But, for $320 I'm shocked that it came with a 1660 Super. I would've expected a 1650 or an RX 550. This would also techically be an upgrade to what I still have atm. Edit: I see it even comes with an ssd. How about that🤷♂
Just got one of these and it has a i5 4570 and 16 gbs of ddr3 1600mhz. Over still a decent machine for the price but getting the ddr4 with the newer gen cpu would have been sweet.
I found a pre built with a 12th gen Intel and a 3080 in a pawn shop for 700$ . So tempted to buy it but afraid it has hidden issues going about asking them if I can test it
It’s the $1899 version of the “ I buy power” from best buy with tons of RGB . It’s the 10gb 3080 best I can tell . Just not sure how much it’s been abused but if they let me inside it and stress test it I may get it . I just know it’s. Not a great brand
Ya know, that's actually not a bad pairing of CPU and GPU. I'd be willing to wager that the bottleneck is actually coming from that G2 motherboard. HP is notorious for kneecapping their own hardware to force earlier upgrades. I had less lag with an Optiplex 3040 (i5-3400) with a GTX 1050ti that I just gave to the Mother-in-Law.
i see no negatives due to the price being so cheap this is one of the best pcs ive seen for its price, most $500 pcs cant even run cyber punk that well
Bought a similar, but far scammier Amazon refurbish for a grand-nephew. Tech Magnet was the builder. HP system with identical RGB. i5-4500 and the gtx1660 super, 16GB of 1233 DDR3. After four days the video card stopped being able to handle fullscreen, 1080p, YT videos without inverting the colors in photo-negative. Thumbnails also were color inverted while the surrounding was normal color. Calls to tech support went unanswered. Returned the system.
I'm just putting a similar computer together for my eldest son's upcoming 10th birthday. Managed to snag an old HP Prodesk G1 mini tower. It's got an i5-4570 in it, 16gb of ram, and a 1tb hard drive. I have also purchased a GTX 1050 graphics card. The PC was £40 and the card £50. I'll add an old 500gb SSD I'm not using and it should make a sweet little system for him. He's been trying to play roblox on an ancient i3 3rd gen with integrated graphics until now. The parts should arrive early next week - wish me luck that it all works!
the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 works very good for gaming in workstation builds - I had it paired with a GTX 1060 6GB and fortnite played better than what you showed - I now have it paired up with a GTX 1070 TI - very good cheap gaming PC. Dell precision 5810 tower, E5-2667 V3, GTX 1070 TI, 24GB DDR4, 685 watt power supply, kingston A400 SSD - all for under $300 (tower was free from work when they upgraded)
5810 owner here as well - you could also slap an e5 2697 v3 in there, undervolt via throttlestop and then do the turbo unlock via custom bios to get the full 3,6 ghz turbo on 14 cores / 28 threads. If you don’t undervolt, it will automatically reduce the clock because you will run into the power limit of 145 watts. Give it a try! :)
@@lucasrem the GTX 1070 TI is more than adequate for what I'm playing and is about all I can put in my PC with out bottlenecking on the CPU, also I don't think calling it "super slow" is at all accurate - it is 73rd of 714 GPU's in speed rank on user benchmark (RTX 4090 being #1) And remember we are talking budget gaming here.
To be honest this is a pretty good deal. It comes with a mouse and keyboard already, so you just need a monitor or TV. I'd take this over a Series S any day.
I mean if all you want to do is game then yeh, a series S is better. But if your also looking to get computing capabilities out of it as well as some gaming then this is bang for buck.

Thank you Toasty Bros for this find!
Quick question, if I bought a pc that has a cpu that has a graphics card in the cpu, is it still possible that I can buy a gpu even if the cpu has its own? Or do I have to get a new cpu and gpu??
This is actually the proper way to repurpose older still viable hardware, I know many folks will be making dumb statements about gaming rig or other nonsense. This system will game fairly well at decent settings but is mostly built to be an all use master of none setup.
A lightning strike damaged the motherboard on my old Optiplex 9020, so I bought another one for less than $200. But, this one has an i7, instead of the i5 that my old one had. I just swapped out all my upgrades, power supply, GPU and my two 1tb SSD's. When I turned it on everything was exactly the same, because I still had my OS, games and everything else already on the SSD's. Plus the new one came with an off brand 1tb SSD that I'll use as 2nd back up for storing videos and pictures and an extra 16g of memory that'll give me 32 gigs of ram total. I can live without the RGB, because I can't see my puter when it's running anyway.
In 2020 during the mining craze I´ve build my first (and so far only) complete entry gaming setup for 280€ in Mai 2020. It might was a generic case of a pre-build, but airflow was decent and it was a Gigabyte mobo with 4th gen i5, 2x 4GB 1600MHz ram, R7 260X, 128GB SSD, 1TB HHD, EVGA 80+ 500W PSU, 1680x1050p HP monitor (HP does make a lot of crap, but they do make suprisingly good monitors), Logitech G500, Steelseeries RGB keyboard, Jabra headset and a pair of ddecent sounding and colour fitting 30W desktop speakers (all needed wires included obviously): for 280€ during the mining craze getting a complete setup with quality parts that cheap so you can play LoL, CS:GO, Fortnite or even RDR2 with low settings at native resolution and 30fps; I sure made that guy who was looking to get into gaming very happy. On other offers you either got worse hardware or paying 330-380€ for about the same hardware while getting some shitty monitore and HP/ Lenovo etc e-waste periphials. But I´ve simply priced it at what I thought this hardware should cost in 2020, no wonder it was sold in 2 days.
@@lucasrem as long as it can take a 54W max load, sure. I wouldn't recommend anything about an extra 30w being required by one of those cables. Anything higher and it risks the card, for sure.
Before I watched the video I checked on the link and it said "Up to 3.6GHz i5." I knew it would have to be the i5-6500, as I run one in an Optiplex with a GTX 1650.
This pc will work for 95% of the public that does not game. I have been deploying the G800;'s renewed for years, no issues and great performance. People don't care about what generation ram is, etc. When they use Office, browse internet and work in email they will find this and others similar more than adequate on an SSD with 16GB RAM and i5. I've been getting my i5, 16GB ram and SSD HP's for half this price.
That.. has better specs than my main rig right now :( Prices have went down to the point I can finally upgrade past this level. My new rig is in a box in my kitchen now... hope I have all the cords and stuff to set it up this weekend. Still, dumpsterbro can play some games and do what I need.
i have had one of these for about 2 years and it was my first desktop (upgrade from a 4gb laptop) and it works very well, i was actually suprised it could run higher end games like rainbow at 60fps on medium-high settings
I legit bought one this month and so far, it's done me well for what I need it for, so yeah, that's what people are getting it for, it's cheap, not everyone can actually afford a 3'000 dollar gaming rig, and most computers with these specs tend to be much more expensive than this, so at the end of the day, you're actually getting your moneys worth and then some in regards to what you're actually getting from it. The one I got has two hdd's. the main system drive's small, but the secondary drive's got 2 tb on it, so that really does help keep the HDD from getting choked up.
Seems like a 400-500 watt for the 1660 would be more appropriate.,but it isnt Ryzen cpu, and maybe nothing overclocked, good basic intro to gaming and video p.c. even with a drive if you play old games with disk. Using dual channel ddr3 might be better than a single channel ddr4, i guess.
i find it interesting that theres a bigger pc case i got, and i find it weird at it the same time, i curently am running only onboard graphics, it has a amd A8 cpu with r7 graphics with 24 gigs of ram and still running a hard drive and it is almost where i like of the performance
I would certainly like to see them do just a little better with the power supply. 280 watts just doesn't seem safe. My kids PC has an i5 6500 and GTX 1060 6gb. It definitely runs better than one would expect. I'm going to upgrade him to the 6700 and max the old system out. Then the 8 yr old kid will be rocking a stronger PC than I started with 5 years ago.
should be able to go i7-7700? Most 6th gen motherboards can also do 7th gen. But it may not be worth the time and money to do so as it wouldn't be that much of an upgrade. If you don't mind replacing the motherboard and CPU an AM4 combo can be had pretty cheap nowadays... I saw that Micro Center has a Ryzen 5 3600 and B450 motherboard combo for $130... which would be an actual upgrade and you can keep the RAM...
Im using the same cpu with rx 6600 performance is insane I can play most games with 1440p with ultra-high (+45fps) settings cpu upgrade with same socket is not worth
6700 still cost around $100+ at that point you're better off just saving more money to get a better CPU. Preferably used market 11th gen or 12th etc etc
Those types the resolution is generic looking of a soft picture. Yes, you can play but you missing out on the details and fluidity of movements by 100 fold. IT WORKS if you dont mind the generic quality of the texture and soft resolutions besides the glitches here and there.

Yeah but a used 7700k is around $100. You're better off just putting that money towards a better PC.
nah an old v3 xeon would be the play tbh 6-8 cores for $60 and you can reuse the ddr4, would need a new motherboard but x99 boards are cheap these days
@@MrTechnofuzz maybe if you manage to get a xeon e3 you won't have to replace the motherboard, idk what about the dell one tho
@@EXITLIGHT_ENTERNIGHT i mean if you're content with 4 cores/8 threads. I would say in 2023 6 core minimum, 8 core preferred. an i7-5960x is $60 on ebay, a completely unlocked 8-core i7 that basically keeps pace with a ryzen 7 5800x, its a no brainer....
@@MrTechnofuzz more like the 5600x but ya that i7 was way ahead of its time
Also you guys didn't go through the reviews. One review says there's was an i5-4th gen and the website description states ddr3. So it seems either they mix it up or they beefed it up for toasty bros
Great video guys.
Those locked 4th and 6th gen i5's suffer from a low all core turbo, only 3.3Ghz in this case. I'm just doing the benchmarking video for an i5-4690k and being overclocked to 4.5Ghz really helps, however finding a unlocked i5 with a decent motherboard is very rare.
I screwed up not buying the unlocked version of my 4590 i5. But making $9 an hour working for Walmart in 2015 I really didn't have the extra cash to throw at it.
@@mrnapolean1 Not necessary, unless you get lucky it can cost a lot more to get an unlocked i5. Not only is the unlocked i5 more expensive, to make the most of it you need a Z series motherboard and decent cooling to allow an overclock without the temps being too high. The motherboards are normally the really expensive part because overtime the motherboard is more likely to die rather than the CPU so CPUs are plentiful on the 2nd hand market while the Z series motherboard are rare and can be expensive.
At the end of the day you have a PC and can game :)
In 2018 I bought an hp pro desk for $80 had a i7 4790 in it. Bought a 970 and 16gb of ram for $150. It had a proprietary power supply so I had to use a dell DA-2 power brick and split the 8 pin to dual 6+2. Got me through the pandemic now I’m rocking 5600x and a750 :)
Opera In 2016, the company changed ownership when a group of Chinese investors purchased the web browser, consumer business, and brand of Opera Software ASA. The remaining assets were renamed as the Otello Corporation.
i payed $150 for a optiplex with a i-5 6500, 16 gigs of ram, and a 256 gig ssd. i put a 1 tb m.2 in, and a rx 6400 and the cpu is definatly the bottleneck.
then get a better CPU
Lol, the guy on the right looks so much like Seth Rogan!😂
The i5-6500 and GTX1660 Super is actually a decent pairing. Only a 10.2% GPU bottleneck during graphic intensive applications.
I think its actually much more.
@@daytimerocker3808 according to pcbuilds it's only 10.2% GPU bottleneck in graphic intensive applications. Don't remember what it is in general tasks. Just Google the parts and type bottleneck calculator.
These are AMAZING to use for a pfSense box. Absolutely stunning performance with i7-6700 for any home lab.

How you build DDR 4 i7 6700 system ? what board ?
I bought an HP pre-built back in early 2018 for $300. It was an actual HP model in the box factory sealed. It had an i5-7400/1060 3gb w/4+4gb ddr4 2400 and a 1tb 7200rpm hdd.
I got a 256gb ssd boot drive for around $80 (easily get 1tb for that in 2023 lol). I'm still using it to this day. I wanted to do a new build a few years ago. Crypto put a stop to that so I was lucky
enough to snag a PS5 in early 2021. My HP is still great for older games and has gotten me into PC gaming in general. I hope to do a new build later this year. But, for $320 I'm shocked that
it came with a 1660 Super. I would've expected a 1650 or an RX 550. This would also techically be an upgrade to what I still have atm. Edit: I see it even comes with an ssd. How about that🤷♂
Just got one of these and it has a i5 4570 and 16 gbs of ddr3 1600mhz. Over still a decent machine for the price but getting the ddr4 with the newer gen cpu would have been sweet.
JuckYard build...
I agree that it is a good deal. It works, then in the future you can upgrade the CPU. The LGA 1151 socket, has an impressive lines of CPUs.
I found a pre built with a 12th gen Intel and a 3080 in a pawn shop for 700$ . So tempted to buy it but afraid it has hidden issues going about asking them if I can test it
If you found a system like that for that price and it's the real deal, you found an incredible deal and need to get it 😍
@@Joreel it’s legit I checked the bios . The pawnshop doesn’t realize what they have .
@@Joreel I’m just super afraid there’s something wrong with it there’s no nvidia software on it at all
@@Joreel I’m going on my lunch break Monday to see if they’ll let me down load the drivers and stress test it
It’s the $1899 version of the “ I buy power” from best buy with tons of RGB . It’s the 10gb 3080 best I can tell . Just not sure how much it’s been abused but if they let me inside it and stress test it I may get it . I just know it’s. Not a great brand
@5:15 All that time they didn't notice that the plastic piece broken is from the corner of GPU, near the power cable.
11:32 , What song title is this? I believe its from the RUclips audio library, but don't know the name! Any help appreciated!
Ya know, that's actually not a bad pairing of CPU and GPU. I'd be willing to wager that the bottleneck is actually coming from that G2 motherboard. HP is notorious for kneecapping their own hardware to force earlier upgrades. I had less lag with an Optiplex 3040 (i5-3400) with a GTX 1050ti that I just gave to the Mother-in-Law.
Agreed bottle neck calculator says it would be 100% gpu utilisation
i see no negatives due to the price being so cheap this is one of the best pcs ive seen for its price, most $500 pcs cant even run cyber punk that well
I wonder if replacing the i5 with a i7 6700 would eliminate the stuttering?
No it wouldn't.
Hey are you guys selling that shirt at 7:02? That thing is lit.
Edit: the one on the left..
Bought a similar, but far scammier Amazon refurbish for a grand-nephew. Tech Magnet was the builder. HP system with identical RGB. i5-4500 and the gtx1660 super, 16GB of 1233 DDR3. After four days the video card stopped being able to handle fullscreen, 1080p, YT videos without inverting the colors in photo-negative. Thumbnails also were color inverted while the surrounding was normal color. Calls to tech support went unanswered. Returned the system.
This gaming PC is a modified HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Tower PC.
performance mode is going to help out a ton in ForkKnife, should be over 100FPS easily.

I'm just putting a similar computer together for my eldest son's upcoming 10th birthday. Managed to snag an old HP Prodesk G1 mini tower. It's got an i5-4570 in it, 16gb of ram, and a 1tb hard drive. I have also purchased a GTX 1050 graphics card. The PC was £40 and the card £50. I'll add an old 500gb SSD I'm not using and it should make a sweet little system for him. He's been trying to play roblox on an ancient i3 3rd gen with integrated graphics until now. The parts should arrive early next week - wish me luck that it all works!
the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 works very good for gaming in workstation builds - I had it paired with a GTX 1060 6GB and fortnite played better than what you showed - I now have it paired up with a GTX 1070 TI - very good cheap gaming PC. Dell precision 5810 tower, E5-2667 V3, GTX 1070 TI, 24GB DDR4, 685 watt power supply, kingston A400 SSD - all for under $300 (tower was free from work when they upgraded)
5810 owner here as well - you could also slap an e5 2697 v3 in there, undervolt via throttlestop and then do the turbo unlock via custom bios to get the full 3,6 ghz turbo on 14 cores / 28 threads. If you don’t undervolt, it will automatically reduce the clock because you will run into the power limit of 145 watts. Give it a try! :)
@dp3350 at the time the 2667 was the best bang for the buck - and looking now the 2697 price is all over the place $20-$180
old GPU too, super slow ....
@@lucasrem the GTX 1070 TI is more than adequate for what I'm playing and is about all I can put in my PC with out bottlenecking on the CPU, also I don't think calling it "super slow" is at all accurate - it is 73rd of 714 GPU's in speed rank on user benchmark (RTX 4090 being #1)
And remember we are talking budget gaming here.
You look like a $320 Seth Rogen.
That vinyl crap was on a lot of old HP office machines. I'm not sure it was necessarily a reseller thing though.
For this money you'd be better off just getting a Series S honestly
To be honest this is a pretty good deal. It comes with a mouse and keyboard already, so you just need a monitor or TV.
I'd take this over a Series S any day.
I mean if all you want to do is game then yeh, a series S is better. But if your also looking to get computing capabilities out of it as well as some gaming then this is bang for buck.
Can't access your steam library on a series s
but i want to play valorant IDOt try and SOLVE THAT
buddy please dont reccomend a consle to someone who want a pc how would someone like me a csgo valorant and minecraft java gamer would play my games on consle?
From what I understand, Fornite uses the Unreal 5 engine now, which means it takes a more powerful system to run smoothly than it used to.
If it's a good PC that's easily and cheaply upgradable then it's a good idea all around

I gotta say, for once the thermal paste doesn't look like ass, dual channel memory and a GTX 1660 Super. I mean...you could probably do that same build with a 10th gen i3 and stuff but for a prebuilt? Not bad :D

Because apparently it's cheaper than therapy. Plus you can finally fulfill your dream of playing Solitaire on Ultra settings
This HP EliteDesk Tower will play my favorite game on Steam "Boundless"(adult version of Minecraft lol) with ease. With the Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, a 512GB SSD + 3TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6G GDDR6 video card(1 HDMI port, 1 DisplayPort, and 1 DVI port), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 USB 3.0 ports, and comes with Windows 10 Professional 64-bit OMG hope this stays around so I can purchase this as a backup gaming pc for my laptop, it's a GREAT buy! Thank you Toasty Bros for this find!
How DDR 4 in it ? slow frames, LOL !
Quick question, if I bought a pc that has a cpu that has a graphics card in the cpu, is it still possible that I can buy a gpu even if the cpu has its own? Or do I have to get a new cpu and gpu??
No need to buy another cpu, it will still work and it will show up as GPU0 & GPU1 on task manager
Can we change the cpu and power supply??
This is actually the proper way to repurpose older still viable hardware, I know many folks will be making dumb statements about gaming rig or other nonsense. This system will game fairly well at decent settings but is mostly built to be an all use master of none setup.
I miss the dell optiplex builds
Check out my first one! ruclips.net/user/shortsrV8j8O1l2so?feature=share
A lightning strike damaged the motherboard on my old Optiplex 9020, so I bought another one for less than $200. But, this one has an i7, instead of the i5 that my old one had. I just swapped out all my upgrades, power supply, GPU and my two 1tb SSD's. When I turned it on everything was exactly the same, because I still had my OS, games and everything else already on the SSD's. Plus the new one came with an off brand 1tb SSD that I'll use as 2nd back up for storing videos and pictures and an extra 16g of memory that'll give me 32 gigs of ram total. I can live without the RGB, because I can't see my puter when it's running anyway.

In 2020 during the mining craze I´ve build my first (and so far only) complete entry gaming setup for 280€ in Mai 2020. It might was a generic case of a pre-build, but airflow was decent and it was a Gigabyte mobo with 4th gen i5, 2x 4GB 1600MHz ram, R7 260X, 128GB SSD, 1TB HHD, EVGA 80+ 500W PSU, 1680x1050p HP monitor (HP does make a lot of crap, but they do make suprisingly good monitors), Logitech G500, Steelseeries RGB keyboard, Jabra headset and a pair of ddecent sounding and colour fitting 30W desktop speakers (all needed wires included obviously): for 280€ during the mining craze getting a complete setup with quality parts that cheap so you can play LoL, CS:GO, Fortnite or even RDR2 with low settings at native resolution and 30fps; I sure made that guy who was looking to get into gaming very happy. On other offers you either got worse hardware or paying 330-380€ for about the same hardware while getting some shitty monitore and HP/ Lenovo etc e-waste periphials. But I´ve simply priced it at what I thought this hardware should cost in 2020, no wonder it was sold in 2 days.
the cpu temp did not cross 65 even with 100% load,how good the cooler was.
What would be a good CPU upgrade for this?
i7 7700, maybe a 7700K, if the VRM's can handle it.
Funny if most of these companies sales are anonymous youtube channels.
gotta love that molex to 6 pin PCI-E power connector there :P although they are mostly safe is there is enough amperage on the 12 volt line
You need old power rails for that molex crab, not modern Gold rated PSU !
@@lucasrem as long as it can take a 54W max load, sure. I wouldn't recommend anything about an extra 30w being required by one of those cables. Anything higher and it risks the card, for sure.

Before I watched the video I checked on the link and it said "Up to 3.6GHz i5." I knew it would have to be the i5-6500, as I run one in an Optiplex with a GTX 1650.
This pc will work for 95% of the public that does not game. I have been deploying the G800;'s renewed for years, no issues and great performance. People don't care about what generation ram is, etc. When they use Office, browse internet and work in email they will find this and others similar more than adequate on an SSD with 16GB RAM and i5. I've been getting my i5, 16GB ram and SSD HP's for half this price.
That.. has better specs than my main rig right now :(

I legit bought one this month and so far, it's done me well for what I need it for, so yeah, that's what people are getting it for, it's cheap, not everyone can actually afford a 3'000 dollar gaming rig, and most computers with these specs tend to be much more expensive than this, so at the end of the day, you're actually getting your moneys worth and then some in regards to what you're actually getting from it. The one I got has two hdd's. the main system drive's small, but the secondary drive's got 2 tb on it, so that really does help keep the HDD from getting choked up.

love Seth Rogan and Dean from Super Naturals reviewing pcs now.. nice channel guys. fpv video editor here
Seems like a 400-500 watt for the 1660 would be more appropriate.,but it isnt Ryzen cpu, and maybe nothing overclocked, good basic intro to gaming and video p.c. even with a drive if you play old games with disk. Using dual channel ddr3 might be better than a single channel ddr4, i guess.

i find it interesting that theres a bigger pc case i got, and i find it weird at it the same time, i curently am running only onboard graphics, it has a amd A8 cpu with r7 graphics with 24 gigs of ram and still running a hard drive and it is almost where i like of the performance
I need advice only for gaming .
Should I go with i3-12100f with RX 6700 XT OR i5-12400f with RX 6650 XT.

Always buy more cpu than gpu it will last longer.
can upgrade gpu easier
I would use the i3-12100f - it's a very capable CPU and the bump in graphics performance is more important imo.

Hi !
What’s the cutting mat they use on the main table ? It looks huge !!👍
I would certainly like to see them do just a little better with the power supply. 280 watts just doesn't seem safe.
My kids PC has an i5 6500 and GTX 1060 6gb. It definitely runs better than one would expect. I'm going to upgrade him to the 6700 and max the old system out. Then the 8 yr old kid will be rocking a stronger PC than I started with 5 years ago.
should be able to go i7-7700? Most 6th gen motherboards can also do 7th gen. But it may not be worth the time and money to do so as it wouldn't be that much of an upgrade. If you don't mind replacing the motherboard and CPU an AM4 combo can be had pretty cheap nowadays... I saw that Micro Center has a Ryzen 5 3600 and B450 motherboard combo for $130... which would be an actual upgrade and you can keep the RAM...
Im using the same cpu with rx 6600 performance is insane I can play most games with 1440p with ultra-high (+45fps) settings cpu upgrade with same socket is not worth
6700 still cost around $100+ at that point you're better off just saving more money to get a better CPU. Preferably used market 11th gen or 12th etc etc
