Greetings, /g/entlemen
After playing the role of tech support for no charge whatsoever for my uncle's for more a decade, he decided to be a good soul and got me a pre-packaged HP desktop as a gesture of gratitude
Should've asked me before getting something tech-related, but can't blame the old sport
Anyway, it's says on the product info that it is an HP 406 G1 MT Bussiness PC, so I'm probably guessing he got me a PC from his workplace. It's got Intel core i7 4770 CPU @3.40 GHz (8 CPUS), a single 4gb 1600mhz RAM module and Intel HD graphics 4600 (shows 1792 MB approx in dxdiag)
What's the verdict? What things am I capable of running with such an configuration? Also, I intend to upgrade my rig with 4 more gigs of ram and an Nvidia GTX 1050ti OC edition. But I got some doubts:
1. This shit is under warranty from hp, so will opening the case to insert the new parts void my warranty? Heard hp has been quite jewish with their warranty practices in the past
2. Will this support the aforementioned graphic card?
Here's the manual for this shit

The PSU requirement checks out but I'm skeptical about the PCI slot
Also, does hp do jewish shit like locking the BIOS so that its not possible to change hardware?

That's the video card I'm talking about

Just look out for stickers on the side panel that extends to the back. Without a sticker, it probably okay to open it. Business PCs usually do not come with such stickers, which means you can open it without voiding your warranty.
The PCIe slot will be fine as long as it is x16 physical.
>lock BIOS so that its not possible to change hardware
That only applied to some arcade consoles like the Taito Type X, which is locked to the HDD and have a non-eraseable BIOS password that is not made known to the end user. They are using conventional Intel CPUs and motherboards made from common OEMs such as MSI in the case of Taito X3.

Oh, that's pretty nice. Not the newest shit, but 4c8t Intel is fucking good value to get like this, Core i7s don't come cheap.
