Not a bad price for a RTX 3060 machine though CPU and RAM are a bit weak.

I believe this was the same model that Walmart offered for $699 on Prime Day. With current prices, it is still a good deal if you need something ASAP. Otherwise Black Friday will bring some smokin' prebuilt deals.

I have this. The RAM in mine is 2x4GB, but definitely upgradeable.

This price is only mediocre, it was cheaper in December, and that's when just an RTX-3060 was $600 by itself. 10th gen Intel is not great, and all other parts in this build are pretty weak. I'd recommend a DIY for cheaper/better value. unless you're after a plug-and-play experience.

Almost forgot to mention, the fan on my GPU got "stuck" and wouldn't go above 30% speed. Ended up getting an RMA and refund. Was a total nightmare to deal with HP.

I hate that mfgs regularly gives you two sticks on their memory instead of one. Just upgraded a 8gb victus thast's 2x4. I get that it's dual channel and cheaper, but they know that the first thing anyone will do is a ram upgrade, and I've regularly seen singles of the same capacity on non gaming rigs. 10th gen on a proprietary mobo also really limits options this. PSU and overall fans are more than likely gimped too.

dont buy this line from hp. they put 400w power supply's and the system does not run well. Mine started blue screening within 6 months of light 1080p gaming. The motherboard is also really bad. I took my oem hp gpu in a fresh build and i get twice the FPS now.

Power supply is non standard so hard/expensive to upgrade.

Are all HP TG01 running the same motherboard? I have the Walmart -> TG01-2003w.

I was wondering if I can swap out the graphic card for something a bit more powerful.

Thank you.

Yes, I had one, mine (could be different motherboard) took 32 gig. yet the bios slow the speed way down to like 2888 on all memory sticks. Still 32 gig is nice. CPU fan failed, otherwise fine machine. In fact I am selling it less the 3060 and it now has 1 tb HD and 16 gig, $150.

I believe it is the same yet some boards are for Itel vs AMD. I have had both.

I put a Cosiar 360W gold $60< in, I had to make up some power adapters to run everything, all stock parts, as HP Power supply as some proprietary plugs not common. The OEM 180w power supply was quite weak and did not like the extra memory with the Video Card. The new power supply works great. Plenty of power and quiet.

Indeed, I will no longer buy HP after owing several on them. Support is a joke. And if was not so useless it woud be funny. For an underwarranty failed fan they, want to box up the computer ship it to them and wait for the to repair it rather than send me the $5 fan,I bought on Ebay, and let me do the replacement, tooks 3 minutes.

Everytime I have gone to HP for support I have regretted the wasting of my time.
