I agree. For some reason, desktops (even the mediocre ones) are more expensive than laptops with much better specs.

Specs include:
Graphics Card
Intel® UHD Graphics 730 with shared graphics memory
1 half-height Gen3 PCIe x16 slot
2 half-height Gen3 PCIe x1 slots

Workstation gpus that dont rely on external power can be used.

I believe the RTX 3050 6GB can be used.

Edit:
I did light gaming on an older one of these SFF and bought a radeon GPU that escapes me at the moment. It worked for me since I played old games like Warcraft and CS.

My brother upgraded his rig so I inherited his 9th gen i7 + 1070 which was still better than that old Dell SFF that I used.

There are several restrictions for upgrading the video card.
Number one. The video slot is a generation 3 half height x16 slot. You will need a half height video card or you have to do a jury rig and hang that video card out the side.
Number two: Generation 3 is going to hold you back significantly.
Number three: the power supply will not have connectors and power capacity for a good video card. You can't just upgrade a proprietary power supply. You would be required to put in a secondary external power supply to give you the extra power you need.

It will look like a real Frankenstein configuration. Someday. I might do that just for fun.

Good price. Last year it dropped to $299 for a short period. It's a nice basic desktop for email, web browsing and such. I picked up last year and ordered another Friday as a gift. Rokuten had 15% cash back and Dell 9% reward points so mine was $357 total (with monitor & speakers).

My problem is the micro form factor is a thing, albeit not the name brand ones for this price. Some of the "mini PC's" are just as powerful but with 1/4 of the footprint of this SFF.
