Previous to that I had an HP Pavilion. A couple of data points:

  • The graphics card of my old HP was a Geforce 1050 TI, which is physically larger than the 3060 TI. They are both huge but the old card does fit in the old case.

  • The Newegg case has a fuckton of huge loud case fans in it, which I presume they assume was required. My HP didn't have those. So heat might be a problem.

  • According to this the power supply is not adequate (a 3060 requires 200W on its own, looks like TP01s have a 180W PSU. My old PSU had 300 which probably wouldn't be enough either.)

  • The case organization is built around everything being locked down and minimum cable length everywhere as you hinted at, so upgrading the hardware would be a pain.


IMO a Newegg prebuilt is the way to go, but I would say that because I just bought one.


This is great - thank you!

Yeah, I would have recommended the Newegg build if I had been consulted last year. It seems the way to go. It appears that there are video cards that aren't the mighty 30x0 series and won't require a new power supply. So that is nice of HP to allow such a thing (no sarcasm, I honestly would have thought they soldered the PCI slots shut).
