Way late to this party, but....how hard would it be to add an M2 SSD to this?

My Mac Mini is 10 years old and needs replacing.

I am a casual gamer, but daughter is getting into photography....

Is this worth picking up for $200 in your opinion?

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz


Graphics Card: AMD RX 580 8GB GDDR5


RAM: 32GB DDR4-2666


Storage: 250GB NVMe SSD

with keyboard and mouse.


Let me know your thoughts,

Certainly $200 worth of hardware there - if it's already built into a PC, do you have any assurances that it works as intended? I've built quite a few PCs over the years, and implementation is everything. Changing one entry in the BIOS can be the difference between a PC that rocks and one that smokes.

It’s on marketplace and listed as a “gamer PC” it has pics of it running, but I would ask for video.
 
Out of curiosity and a need for an office PC, I put one together with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G. Fastest integrated graphics in the industry; no video card required for most tasks:


Small case, no video card, 1TB SSD, 32Gb of RAM....and it really flies. Impressive.

Edited to add - here's the Tom's Hardware link to their CPU review. Interesting stuff.....

It would be on the lower scale of gamer pc's, but for $200 it would be a great all around pc.

Kinda what I was thinking. I’m thinking of starting a gamer PC build, looking to start with medium/high components. Intel 7? AMD Ryzen 7? A motherboard capable of handling DDR4 ram sticks graphics minimum? And likely an 800 watt PSU.

Tell you what - about a month ago, I bought a brand new Zotac RTX3060 on sale from Amazon. Got a buddy that wants to sell me a significant upgrade, so if you want this card....PM me. Still have the box, etc... I'm not in a panic to sell, but there is the opportunity..... :cool:
 
What MB is this going on? Is it inclided? If so you have a steal, if not it is just a good deal IMO.
 
I echo a lot of what’s been said. Good price for a decent entry level rig. I’d upgrade the storage though.
