    The best cheap gaming PCs of 2024: Expert recommended

    You may work with a minimal budget when shopping for a new gaming PC. And fortunately, the HP Victus features an entry-level price point while still providing great components. It’s built with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 6400 graphics card. And just because it has an older GPU, that doesn’t mean you can’t still play all of the latest triple-A and indie games. And while the regular retail price sits comfortably under $1000, you can routinely find it on sale for $500 or less, depending on the configuration and retailer.The HP Victus can support up to 32GB of RAM and any storage you want, which means that you can save a good bit of cash by buying the prebuilt configuration and upgrading piecemeal as time goes on. And speaking of upgrades, this model features a second RAM slot and three storage drive bays, making upgrading a relatively fast and easy process. One drawback of this PC is the 350-watt power rating, so if you want to add a second storage drive or a more powerful GPU, you’ll need to drop in a more powerful PSU as well. Customers who purchased this gaming PC on HP’s website call out the company’s reliable customer service for troubleshooting any issues you may have during setup or your warranty period, as well as the fact that the Victus 15L is an excellent option for kids and teens looking to buy their first gaming PC.HP Victus specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6400 | RAM: 8GB | Storage: 256GB SSD  More

They allow you to capture and store the free energy that’s beaming down from the sun, convert it into electricity, and store it in batteries. Solar generators consist of two parts: There’s a portable power station (think power bank, but bigger) and solar panels. The power stations come in all shapes and sizes, from small boxes you’d be happy carrying for a short distance, to big boxes on wheels that you don’t want to be taking with you too far.  Also: The best home battery and backup systems of 2024: Expert testedJackery, a familiar name in the power station game for over a decade now, has a new power station called the Explorer 2000 Plus More
