Works with Oculus Quest 2 VR!
PC bought is HP Pavilion gaming desk top with GTX 1650 Super, 256GB SSD Storage, Ryzen 5 3500 $850. I gave this PC 5 stars for the fact that it works great with my Oculus Quest 2 for both the cable and Air Link. When I was looking for a review that mentioned Oculus, I couldnt find a single one so I figured its important to give my take on it so far. -Cheapest PC that I could find at $850 for new or used VR ready PC. Couple that with the free return for 30 days, it was a easy choice. -Games that I have played on VR, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, Project Cars(Both Project Cars had to be changed to Windows 7 format to work) Batman VR, Gorilla Tag(Free and my kids love this game! They get super sweaty). -Primary reason bought was for Assetto Corsa and racing simulator. This PC works very well with Oculus Quest 2, Logitech G29 with G shifter. Assetto Corsa works great but every once in a while does stutter. I bought a 8gb ram for $43 here on Amazon so Im hoping the upgrade to a total of 16gb ram will take care of this minor issue. -Airlink with Oculus Quest 2 works pretty well but when I first tried it, it was hit or miss with Assetto Corsa so I kept my cable. With my kids playing Gorilla Tag, it seems to be pretty reliable. Batnman VR worked well but only tried once. I might go back to Assetto Corsa with Air link again and see if its still unreliable. -I'm not sure if this is a 5 star PC if you dont need it for VR. I did buy a Acer Nitro 5 for $450 on ebay auction and it ran non VR games very well. Nitro 5 just could not run VR at all so I had to make the switch. If VR was not my thing, I would have kept the Nitro 5 for almost half the price. -Storage is very small at 250gb. I am using a 2tb external hard drive that I connect through USB. I am able to store all of my Steam games on it and run it flawlessly for both monitor and VR. I initially thought that I may have to upgrade internal hard drive but the external hard drive has been amazing so far. -No problem setting up dual monitor. I have one connected through HDMI and another through Display port. 2 weeks in, this has been an amazing PC. Does everything I want very well and I love the fact that I can upgrade things as needed. This was the best value I could find in June 2021, new or used on Amazon, ebay, CG, FB market place!

The value
This is so awesome and great for the value. I had some issue with the shipping but Lucky Trading(the seller) helped me they have great customer service. I got everything in check and the computer is great. The power and graphics this thing offers is crazy and can run all my games at insane fps+, and there is no lag or issues. It is very quit and as cool green lights. Oh yea and it also has multiple external ports for all your devices to be connected.op

Loved it, but it's time has passed :-(
I have loved this PC ever since I bought it, but its components are now showing their age. I've upgraded as far as possible, but there comes a time when it's less expensive to purchase a whole new computer. Sadly, HP no longer offers the Pavilion model; otherwise, I'd be buying an updated version. Bye bye sweet PC... I'll miss you...

IT'S AN ASSEMBLY LINE PC
I have had this since mid 21, my 2nd store bought pc since 1995, didn't need/want the hassle of building another new pc that would run the latest games, 5 years go by something normally fails anyway with high powered equipment in it and your past 8 core processor and speeds of the ram, MB, VC all are outdated anyway, this is a very basic pc as you can imagine, doubled the ram, added three huge platter drives internally for backup stuff [no room for any more] I ordered mine with a I-5 10th gen and 11 pro so this one is not what I purchased in reality, says it is but it isn't, I've gamed with it with FPS, don't need the top of the line anymore and it's been working good, runs MW2 quite well so I'm happy, got a super low price on it as well

Great Desktop
Awesome. Great value for the money. 3D designs or just working from home. Gamer? Cool. Crypto? Not bad for DOGE and others if you are going to use it in a duo capacity. Dedicated mining? Have not attempted. Did run an experimental Node and it did great but have not and can not recommend for mining. I suppose anything will mine BTC but have not tried it with this. Wasn't it's purpose. Great though for editing pictures, videos, word docs and gaming. Has a good amount of bloatwear though. Which Sucks but great experience overall. Speedy delivery. Great seller.

Perfect for emulation.
I wanted a computer for running video game emulation and mild Steam playing. They only send a single DIMM of memory which will limit the performance of the video card. I recommend upgrading to 16GB of RAM ($79) to get the most out of the dual channel RAM allowing for faster video card performance. This isn’t the fastest computer in the world, and I doubt it would do well with AAA games (It plays everything I want it to without issue) from MAME all the way to PS3, Xbox, WiiU and everything I have thrown at it at the highest settings. I now have a small machine running a video game front end that plays everything in my collection. I am super happy and satisfied with my purchase. It does everything I need it to.

Genuinely good PC
This sucker is an absolute tank. My only advice is make sure to buy an external SSD/hard drive, and upgrade the ram.

Computer Sucks
i got it in the mail and opened it up. plugged it in to an outlet and connected it to my monitor. when i turn it on, it beeps 3 times, then stops for a second, and then beeps 2 times at a higher pitch. it didn't display onto the screen and we did everything that we could. we called up HP customer service and they had no idea what they were talking about. so i sent it back and have a whole new and different pc coming in the mail tmr. i know this is a bad review, but even if the computer did work, its super ugly, small, cant see inside, and theres is very minimal rgb. i suggest to not pick it up because the appearance isnt good and even if u switch the case, ram, storage, etc, you could have bought a better pc with that money!
