I'm at Costco right now and they have and HP a10-5700 desktop for sale. Boxes are right here. Pretty mid range config but with 12gb ram for $699

There is an a8-5500 also. Someone at anandtech buy one and review this now
 
reviews are up at THG. let's wait for some decent enthusiast boards and do some
overclocking. ad far as HP systems....meh

Seems a bit expensive. I don't have a problem with HP systems (made by pegatron anyway) but $699 for that seems like a lot.
 
yeah damn. I would've thought that would include a 20" 1600x900 led. Dell is giving away those e2011h.
 
yeah a bit spendy but,12 gbs of ddr3 wow unless thats just listing its max capacity.
Not sure why no trinity desktops at hps site.

I agree with the other posters. Too expensive, especially if cant crossfire with new gen graphics cards.

At best buy or microcenter, you can get a Dell XPS with an i5 for the same price, and I believe that has a decent power supply as well, so you could add a mid level graphics card for about 100.00 more and be good to go.

Agreed

And those 12 gb of ram. Seriously?

4GB modules of DDR3 cost big integrators what? $10? Cheap way to put big numbers on the spec list. Uninformed consumers see that it has 12GB of memory instead of 8GB or 4GB and think it's better, even though they'll probably never even use more than 3GB...
 
Ugh, not even a new southbridge. 🙁
I thought that was the reason they would delay until fall, so they can get in some PCIe v3.x love in...

I guess AMD really don't want mid to high-end customers. 🙁

Way to drop the ball again AMD!

BTW, I guess they test all their AMD GPUs on intel gear than can do PCIe v3 ?

Yeah $500 I think would be reasonable

I wouldn't even pay $500, a G530 or G620 build would rape that machine, and you'd still have money left over for a decent ati 6870, which would be miles ahead of trinity.😱


Ghetto ROCKET 2012

G620 CPU ~ $60
ECS Mobo ~ $15
1333 ram 8gb ~ $25-35
Case ~ $30
PSU 400w ~ $20
ATI 6870 ~ $100-120
128gb M4 ~ $90-100

Total: $360

You can even go with an I3 or an I5, if you want to fill $500


THAT is how we do budget around here!!! 😀

Although I still wouldn't recommend any budget build over a 2500k or 3570k build if you have the cash. ~ $800-900 complete build

Tell Jesus that you'd truly prefer trinity vs the above.

well yeah, but i meant for like a retail machine.

oddly the build you put there is basically my current desktop. i got that $15 ECS, a $40 g530, an old case / psu i had laying around, and i bought a 80gb intel 320 for $70 somewhere (not super cheap, but well afraid of sandforce right now due to previous experiences). got a $30 GT 430 on amazon too with the $14 dvd rw from newegg last week to round it out. and $10 for 4gb of ddr3 on ebay


but yeah, for normal mom and pop at costco $500 would be fair anyway considering windows licenses, and they dont know how to build a computer and support etc. the A8-5500 by the way was $750 with a similar config but it came with a monitor
