You get what you pay for!

This desktop is great for your $300, the i5 contrary to the description has 4 cores and is natively slightly overclocked to 3.5GHz when idle. The integrated graphics card is an Intel HD 4600. It has 16 GB of dual-channel DDR3 RAM with 798 MHz. Motherboard - Hewlett-Packard 18E4 (SOCKET 0), the unit I sent in needed a BIOS update to install more modern hardware. The cooling is very quiet, but the CPU fan cooler performs worse, causing the i5 to overheat. It only supports DP and VGA cables. It has an open PCI-E x16 slot for a graphics card. It doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi support. The SSD I sent was 111GB instead of 120GB and the HDD only had 931GB of space. The PSU is rated at 320W and has no GPU cables but additional power cables for more storage. It has 5 usable SATA ports but only 2 data cables. This device is great for surfing the web and doing light office work. This is the only blue screen every 6 months, so it's good there. It can be used for gaming, but it's unlikely that running Minecraft or Roblox would be okay and Fortnite would be playable for those people. Modern games load but give you 440p at 25 fps on low graphics. Upgrading your GPU to a GTX 1050 ti or GTX 1650 that doesn't require external power connections will make it great for gamers on a budget who want 1080p at 60 fps with average graphics in modern games like Sea of. Thieves (for you few fans) deliver). Enjoy, I apologize for the misuse of jargon.
