Review on New HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC 2021, AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6-Core Processor (Outperforms i7-10700K), AMD Radeon RX 5500, 8GB RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Mouse & Keyboard, Windows 10 Home + HDMI Cable by Travis Smith

I've had this computer for about half a year now. It works fine although I upgraded the RAM for one main reason. The processor is actually a 2400g, which is an APU, meaning it has integrated graphics. However, the motherboard does not support integrated graphics, so you need a dedicated RX 580. The problem with this is that the APU requires a dedicated amount of RAM, although the graphics functions are never really used. Combined with the RAM reserved for Windows 10, you actually have less than 6GB of available RAM. It is questionable why HP chose the 2400g for this system. That being said, you have a very limited choice as to what you can upgrade. The motherboard only has 2 RAM slots. The case is very small and offers practically no space for additional fans. The system is designed for overheating, but the airflow in this system is weak, to say the least. Just a nitpick, but the image of the system is also a bit misleading. The green lights on the front are very bright and you can't turn them off without going into bios. There's also a green light that flashes constantly when the system is in standby mode. Aside from these major drawbacks, it works great for my games. New games like Apex Legends run reasonably well on high settings, although I do feel the system is holding back. First of all, players need reliability and upgradeability. This means the system can withstand high temperatures over time and is upgradable in the future. Overall, this is a decent entry-level gaming PC, but there are definitely better options out there.
