Potential dumb question - why would someone want an APU with a dedicated GPU? If there’s a reason someone let me know cause I’m curious
Seems like an odd build to design unless they were just putting together whatever they could
It's probably just so they can sell a system with a Ryzen 5000 part in it, even if it doesn't really perform any better than the Ryzen 3000 parts given the cache limitation and it costs more.
It does at least work well here, since the included motherboard (an Asus B550M-K, non-proprietary) has actual rear display outs unlike some custom boards from the likes of HP and Dell, meaning you can just sell or use the 3060 elsewhere and run this as an APU system
Probably because it's cheaper. A 5600G is $100 less than the X model, so until AMD releases a 5300x (or something), the 5600G is the budget AMD chip to get.
It's not so odd when you consider that the vast majority of Intel systems have integrated graphics. It's nice to have when troubleshooting or using the chip-specific features like Quicksync. AMD's APUs also traditionally only had low to mid-range CPU performance so it's nice to see some with higher end perf.
If it's showing up as actually in-stock for you, go ahead. Solid deal for $1,000 flat.
If you can afford to spend $300 more, the Cyberpower 11600K+3060Ti deal is nice.
Question, I have a dual fan EVGA 2060 xc (cheapest one) and bought this bundle. Should I just keep the 3060, give my 2060 to my gf, and sell the desktop to make up the cost (or keep for home use)? Ig my concern lies in Asus warranty on this given that GPU comes from a prebuilt and also that it's a single fan GPU. Are single fan GPUs alright?
Single fan is alright given it's a 3060, only a 170W card.
As for the first part, kind of up to you to decide. You could easily just harvest the 3060 and sell everything else to get a good deal on a 3060; the system even works well without it since the board has display out.
Last time this was posted (like yday or so) site was showing oos, but people were posting pics of picking it up in-store.
16GB is perfectly reasonable for gaming, assuming it's 2x8 and not crap. Even if it is a single crap 16GB stick, it's a $50 fix, and like $15-20 if you sell the old stick.
Random nitpick but whoever took the stock photos couldn't bother to make sure the unit was in excellent cosmetic condition as one of the GPU fins is bent on the rear view photo.
