Compact gaming desktop for everyday play

This small form factor HP desktop pairs an Intel Core i5-9500 with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card. Six cores running at 3.00 GHz base and up to 4.40 GHz turbo handle mainstream games and multitasking. 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a dual-drive layout of 256 GB SSD plus 500 GB HDD provide responsive boot times and ample storage. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed for immediate use.

Fits tight spaces and frees up ports

The SFF chassis slides onto a shelf or behind a monitor while still offering USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB-C alongside HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi are built in so no extra network adapters are required. An RGB keyboard, mouse and headset bundle are included, removing the need for separate peripheral purchases. The compact footprint leaves desk room for additional monitors or streaming gear.

Steady frames during long sessions

The GT 1030 with 2 GB GDDR5 delivers consistent 1080p performance in esports titles without the thermal spikes of higher-power cards. The i5-9500 maintains its 4.40 GHz turbo under sustained loads thanks to the 9 MB Smart Cache and efficient SFF cooling design. DDR4 memory bandwidth supports smooth texture streaming during extended play. The mixed SSD and HDD storage keeps level loads predictable even after hours of continuous gaming.

Questions about this item

Will the GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 frame buffer become the bottleneck during long gaming sessions?

The GT 1030 ships with 2GB GDDR5; in sustained play that frame buffer fills first, limiting texture detail and resolution before the i5-9500 hits its 4.40 GHz turbo ceiling.

How loud and hot does the small-form-factor chassis get when the i5-9500 runs at 4.40 GHz all day?

The SFF case uses a compact cooler; under continuous 4.40 GHz load the fan spins audibly higher and exhaust temperatures rise noticeably compared with short bursts.

Which display cables must I already own to use both the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs?

You need one HDMI cable and one DisplayPort cable to drive two monitors simultaneously from the rear I/O.
