No upgrade path. No 20 pin connector on the Mobo so I don't even know how many watts the PCIE slot will provide. Most likely a GDDR5 GTX 1030 would work which I might need for working with interactive maps. I didn't buy this as a gaming rig but it would be nice to keep boredom at bay sometimes. It does have 2 HDMI ports so it should be adequate for basic computing needs. The 10 series i3 is roughly equivalent to an i7 from a few years ago more power than really needed for a rig this basic. Shop better than I did and save some money. [Edit] 2-17-22. The thermal paste needed replacing. I don't run it often but it sometimes works hard. I leave the side door off for ventilation as there is absolutely none, if you put a fan at the back, the only place it could draw air from is cracks and crevices. Replacing the thermal paste, they put plenty on, it's just really cheap paste. There was a track that looked like lightning in the paste on the CPU and correspondingly on the cooler. Not a big deal, just change the paste to something better, even GD900 which is within 6C of Thermal Grizzley Cryonaut and within 3C of cryonauts competitors. Save the expensive pastes for laptops.
