Doesn’t a RTX 2060 require a minimum of a 500 watt power supply? This PC is a bit short of that
450 watt should be fine. The 10400f only draws something like 65 watts. Many older CPUs would draw 95/130/etc.
I ran this through the outer vision power supply calculator and it recommends a power supply of at least 354 watts. Setting it to powered on 24/7 and gaming or rendering 24/7 takes it up to 366 watts, so the 450 should work. Prebuilt PCs do tend to have some shoddy power supplies though.
Gamers Nexus did a review and teardown of the Pavilion TG01 a few months ago. While theirs had different specs, the proprietary parts and horrendous case will be the same.
Their conclusion was to stay away from this thing.
I guess this would run Elden Rings, right?
It will run.
Hard to pay $899 for i5-10th gen with a 2060 when NewEgg had a i5-12400F with 3060 for $999 just two days ago; granted it’s sold out now, but thats what happens when you fairly price PCs.
Here are some alternatives still in stock, I didn’t dive deep for these:

I love the sales pitch for Windows 11 being a “refreshed” start menu. They spent so long thinking if they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should make Windows 11 iOS junior.
I love (not) how they have 4 pictures and they are all slightly different angles of the front of the case. I ALWAYS want to see the back of a computer.
This just came in stock 30 mins ago; I wouldn’t expect it to last long at this price:

Skytech Azure Gaming PC Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz, RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3200, 1TB NVME, 650W Gold PSU, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, Black (refurbished)
I feel the same. I have passed on buying computers on here because of no pictures of the back.
For $100 more that Costco machine is much better the graphics benchmark higher and the processor benchmarks much higher. The only issue with it is the iBUYPOWER name- it just sounds goofy- I cringe every time I come across that brand, not because their product has any issues- I just can’t stand the name
This PC’s components’ msrp:
RTX 2060 - $349
i5 10400f - $155
Unlisted 2x8GB DDR4, peaking at 3200mhz according to HP - $50-70 (impractical to find MSRP; reflects current Amazon listing/s price/s)
Unlisted SSD, presumed SATA 6GB/s; Kingston KC600 used as middle-ground - $100
Motherboard - $80+, but HP cheaps the hell out, expect $50+ quality
500W 80+ Copper PSU - $30+
HP Pavilion case - $50 for HP
I believe the air cooling is included with the chip and card, so haven’t added pricing; lemme know if I’m wrong, but…
TOTAL: $794-$814 AT TIME OF RELEASE 3 YEARS AGO!!!
Windows 11 is a detractor, not a sales feature; an unfortunately beta software that remains incompatible with Windows programs long established or still coming out; I falied a class because of how unstable SOLIDWORKS became. Beware!
@ThunderThighs I understand Woot! sells out of these pre-builts, but whoever is aquiring these for you either gets incredible deals before marking the prices up to match the market or, concerningly, is leaving tremendous value aside for both us consumers and you sellers by not vetting the value proposition of this and similar boxes against more modern devices sold direct from the manufacturer, frequently on sale for less than parts are worth individually as manufacturers take full advantage of their economies of scale.
Hi there. We use stock images and the back images aren’t always available and if so, don’t match our configuration.
Hit it til candy comes out!
I saw this pc, had a flash back to the Gamers Nexus review and teardown- and I had to go watch it again. That pc was such a disappointing failure. I’ve had machines w/ proprietary parts. Only minor upgrades allowed. They’re so disappointing.
Here we go again.
Yup. Not surprised.
