Compact Gaming Desktop for Entry-Level Play

This HP small-form-factor desktop combines an Intel Core i5-6500 processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 provides dedicated graphics for 1080p gaming. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed. A 24-inch LED monitor, RGB keyboard and mouse are included for a complete starter station.

SFF Chassis with Front USB-C and Dual Video Outputs

The compact case fits tight desk spaces while offering USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and a USB-C port on the front panel. Rear HDMI and DisplayPort connectors support the included monitor or a second display. Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi give flexible network options. Internal expansion room is limited by the small form factor.

GT 1030 2GB Defines the Gaming Ceiling

The GT 1030 with 2GB of video memory handles esports titles and older games at 1080p on low to medium settings. Modern AAA releases will run below playable frame rates. Buyers who need higher detail levels or ray-traced effects should consider a system with a more powerful graphics card.

Questions about this item

What resolution and refresh rate can the GT 1030's HDMI and DisplayPort outputs actually drive?

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 supports up to 4K at 60 Hz over both its HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, so the included 24-inch monitor will run at its native resolution without bandwidth limits.

Will the small-form-factor chassis accept a standard-height graphics card or only low-profile models?

The HP SFF case only fits low-profile cards; the installed GT 1030 is a low-profile model, so any future upgrade must also be a low-profile design to clear the chassis.

How do I enable the RGB lighting on the bundled keyboard and mouse, and what is the common oversight?

Connect each peripheral to a USB port, then use the dedicated lighting toggle key on the keyboard or the button on the mouse; the step users miss is pressing that toggle after plugging in, assuming the lights activate automatically.
